Cinnamon Streusel Pancake Casserole Food

CINNAMON-PECAN PANCAKE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Butter an 8-inch-square baking dish; set aside. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter in a microwave-safe small bowl or liquid measure; microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt the butter.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3 tablespoons of the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 2 of the eggs and the melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a little of the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the pan. Working in batches, pour the batter by 1/4 cupfuls into the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden brown and small bubbles appear on the tops, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other sides, about 2 minutes. If the pancakes brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low. Transfer the pancakes to a plate as finished. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary. (You should have at least 12 pancakes.)
• Whisk together the half-and-half, vanilla, the remaining 5 eggs, the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, the cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• Shingle the pancakes in the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pancakes. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours up to overnight to allow the pancakes to soak in the custard.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the plastic wrap from the casserole and bake until the custard is set and the center feels firm but springy, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, put the maple syrup and pecans in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the syrup has reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
• Pour the pecan-maple syrup over the casserole. Serve with extra maple syrup on the side.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the plastic wrap, and bake the casserole until it feels firm yet springy to the touch in the center and the custard is set, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with maple syrup, blueberries and pats of butter.

CINNAMON STREUSEL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add the buttermilk and egg yolks to the flour mixture. Whisk together until everything is coated with the liquid.
• Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter is golden brown. Pour the butter into the batter and whisk everything together just until all ingredients are incorporated. Let the batter sit on the counter for 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge to thicken and let the buttermilk work its magic.
• Before cooking, in a small bowl, whisk the egg whites until fluffy and stiff. Fold the egg whites into the pancake batter.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Heavily grease the skillet with oil. Use a measuring cup to ladle about 1/3 cup batter per pancake into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the surface of the skillet. Sprinkle with some Cinnamon Streusel. Cook until bubbles form on the top of the pancakes and the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Serve hot with clarified butter and syrup.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
• Using your fingers or a food processor, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix in the butter until crumbly. Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Break the mixture apart and mix the streusel. Let cool.
