BLUEBERRY-PECAN PANCAKE MIX

Steps:

• To Make Ahead: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months.
• Recipe Description:
• Say goodbye to frozen pancakes or box mixes: dried blueberries give this pancake mix rich blueberry flavor and the pecans liven up the texture with a bit of crunch.
• Recipe Ingredients:
• Recipe Steps:
• Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, blueberries, pecans, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. To make pancakes: Whisk 2 large eggs, 2 large egg whites, 1 1/2 cups nonfat buttermilk and 2 tablespoons canola oil in a medium bowl. Put Blueberry-Pecan Pancake Mix in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mix; add wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Use about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
• Recipe Tips & Notes:
• 1. Tip: Place chopped pecans in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

BANANA-PECAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
• Make a well in the center and pour in the milk.
• Start with 1 1/4 cups milk, adding up to another 1/4 cup if necessary, as you mix it with the flour.
• Add the two eggs, vanilla if using and oil, whisking until mixed but still a bit lumpy.
• Peel bananas, placing in a seperate bowl. (You may want to reserve half a banana for the syrup, see below). Mash with fork, then stir into pancake mix.
• Add chopped pecans.
• Heat a frying pan (if it is not non-stick, you will need to melt a bit of butter or oil in it) and when hot, pour desired amount of pancake mix.
• When the pancake starts to bubble on top and is golden brown on the cooked side, turn it and continue cooking until both sides are golden brown.
• Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. You may need to adjust the heat as pan tends to get hotter as you keep making pancakes.
• Keep the cooked pancakes covered with a tea towel, to keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest.
• To add even more flavor, I use store bought bottled syrup, place 1 cup in small saucepan, add 1/2 reserved banana, in slices, and heat until just warm. The banana adds SO much flavor! I dip the syrup over the pancakes without the banana chunks, but you can do either way.

• When bubbles form around the edges, flip. Continue frying until lightly browned. Top with butter & your favorite syrup.

SPECIAL PANCAKES (BATTER CAKES)

Steps:

• Using a serrated knife, trim the crusts off the bread & then cut the bread into 1/2 inch cubes.
• In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, flour, sugar and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk & eggs, then stir in the melted butter. Add to dry ingredients, stirring to blend.
• Let mixture stand for 5 minutes.
• Stir mixture well, breaking up some of the cubes.
• Heat large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat (I use 300-350° on my old electric griddle).
• Lightly brush the griddle with vegetable oil (I use a paper towel folded several times to spread the oil evenly onto the griddle.) Non-stick cooking spray can be substituted but I have found we prefer to use the light film of oil because it really adds to the outer color & texture of the pancake.
• Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle. Adjust the heat to medium-low and cook until the bottoms are lightly browned.
• With a large spatula, carefully flip the pancakes over to brown the other side. Repeat til all the batter is used up. Serve with syrups or jams of your choice.

PECAN PANCAKES WITH MIXED BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine berries, honey, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Have a baking sheet ready to keep cooked pancakes warm. Whisk together flours, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a second bowl, whisk together yogurt, butter, and egg. Add dry ingredients and pecans to wet ingredients; whisk until just moistened (be sure not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or cast iron griddle over medium. Lightly butter the skillet. For each pancake, spoon 1/4 cup batter into skillet, using the back of a spoon to spread batter to about 4 inches in diameter.
• Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Continue with more butter and remaining batter. Serve warm, topped with berry compote.

FLUFFY PECAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, soda, and chopped pecans.
• In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and milk, egg yolks, and melted butter. Blend into the dry ingredients just until all ingredients are moistened.
• Beat egg whites in another bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Fold into the batter until well incorporated.
• Heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat (or use a griddle to make more at a time).
• When skillet is hot enough for a drop of water to sizzle, scoop pancake batter onto the skillet in about 1/4-cup portions, spreading slightly.
• When edges are rather dry and bubbles are popping and bottoms are nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes, turn over and cook the other side until browned, about 2 minutes longer.
• Serve hot with butter and syrup and garnish with pecan halves or fruit, if desired.

PECAN PANCAKES WITH MIXED BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring berries, honey, and lemon zest to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Preheat oven to 200°F. Whisk together flours, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together yogurt, melted butter, and egg; add flour mixture and pecans and whisk until just moistened (batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix).
• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium. Lightly coat griddle with butter. Working in batches, add 1/4 cup batter per pancake, using the back of a spoon to spread to about 4 inches in diameter. Cook until bubbles appear on surface and start to burst, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip with a thin spatula, and cook until lightly browned on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you make more pancakes with remaining batter. Serve warm, topped with berry mixture.

OAT BRAN PECAN PANCAKES

• Add the wet ingredients (eg the second bowl) to the dry ingredients (eg the first bowl) and mix gently until completely, but just combined.
• Fold in the pecans.
• Lightly grease a hot griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Spoon the batter onto the griddle (in about 1/4 cup increments) and cook until pancake appears to look more solid around the edges and bubbles form in the centers.
• Each side should be golden or golden brown.
• Serve hot with maple syrup.
