CINNAMON BUN PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the swirl: Combine the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix until smooth. Pour into a small plastic re-sealable bag and cut 1/4 inch off a corner and store it with the opening upright in a small glass until ready to use.
• For the icing: Combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, milk and salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and set side.
• For the pancakes: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk together the milk, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl until well combined. Whisk the butter into the milk mixture then add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, whisking until smooth and well combined.
• Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Ladle about a 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet. Starting from the middle of the batter, pipe out a large swirl of the cinnamon swirl mixture with the outer most part of the swirl near the edge of the batter. Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart, and repeat with the swirl. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more. Serve hot and swirl-side up, or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. Top with a drizzle of the icing before serving.

CINNAMON-PEAR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375°F. Grease with butter or vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating).
• In large bowl, stir baking mix, pear, oats, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon until blended. In medium bowl, beat milk, melted butter and egg with fork or wire whisk. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
• For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes until bubbles form on top and edges are dry. Turn and cook other sides until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix 1/2 cup butter, the powdered sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Serve pancakes with cinnamon butter and syrup.

PEAR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl.
• In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, syrup and oil and mix will well.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the pear pieces.
• Set a a skillet or a large frying pan to medium heat and spray generously with cooking spray.
• Dollop the batter in 1/4 cup amounts per pancake. Cook until the edges look dry and bubble form all over the top. Flip and cook until the underside is golden brown.

CINNAMON ROLL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Weigh the flour in a large jug or bowl. Add the baking powder, caster sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon and a generous pinch of salt. Whisk to combine. Crack in the eggs, add ½ the butter and all the milk, then whisk to a smooth batter. Will keep in the fridge overnight.
• Stir the rest of the cinnamon, the light brown sugar and the maple syrup into the remaining melted butter. Add 3 tbsp of the pancake mixture and mix. Transfer to a squeezy bottle fitted with a small nozzle or a piping bag.
• When you're ready to cook, pour a little oil in your largest frying pan, and wipe out any excess with some kitchen paper. Keeping the pan over a low-medium heat, spoon 2-3 tbsp mounds into the pan for each pancake, leaving space for them to expand as they cook. You should get three or four in at a time. Use the cinnamon mixture in your bottle or piping bag to pipe swirls on top of each pancake. When the pancakes start to set around the edges and you see bubbles appear on top, carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 mins until golden and cooked through. Keep warm in a low oven while you continue cooking the rest of the batter.
• Serve the pancakes with yogurt and extra maple syrup, if you like.

CINNAMON PANCAKES WITH COMPOTE & MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• First make the Apple, pear & cherry compote (see 'Goes well with'). You'll need half the compote for this recipe.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, sugar and ½ tsp salt. In a jug, whisk the egg, milk, vanilla and melted butter. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture gradually, whisking as you go to make a smooth batter. Ideally, let the mixture stand for 1 hr (or even overnight, covered in the fridge), although you can cook with it straight away.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Melt a knob of butter, then drop in tbsps of the mixture to make pancakes about 10cm across. Cook for 2-3 mins until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip over and cook for 1 min more. Keep each batch warm while you use up the rest of the batter. Stack up the pancakes and serve with hot or cold compote, maple syrup and yogurt.

SHEET-PAN RICOTTA PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine pears, cider, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cover and heat over medium-high. When mixture starts to boil (about 5 minutes), stir and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover again and simmer, uncovering and stirring occasionally, until pears are softened, about 15 minutes.
• Using a potato masher, mash until pears are a chunky purée. Continue to cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid is mostly evaporated and compote is the consistency of chunky applesauce, 25-30 minutes. Let cool.
• Do Ahead: Compote can be made 5 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 18x13" rimmed sheet pan. Line with parchment, then butter parchment.
• Mix oats and cider in a medium bowl.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another medium bowl to combine.
• Whisk eggs, ricotta, honey, and lemon zest in a large bowl to combine, making sure eggs are fully incorporated. Add one-third of dry ingredients to egg mixture and whisk to combine. Add half of cider mixture to egg mixture and whisk again. Add half of remaining dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Add remaining cider mixture and whisk to combine yet again. Using a rubber scraper, fold remaining dry ingredients into batter just until combined.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly into corners with a spatula.
• Dollop tablespoonfuls of pear compote across top of batter. Stick a butter knife or skewer straight down into batter and drag through compote in a figure-eight motion to create a swirling pattern.
• Bake pancake until top is golden brown and center springs back when pressed with a finger, 35-40 minutes.
• Let pancake cool at least 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, if using, then cut into 16 pieces.
• Do Ahead: Pancakes can be made 5 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 3 months. To reheat, heat sliced pancake in a toaster oven until warmed through, about 8 minutes (10 minutes if frozen); or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave about 30 seconds (60 seconds if frozen).
