Cranberry Baked Buttermilk Pancakes Food

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH APPLE CRANBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale yellow, frothy and doubled in volume, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and blend until it becomes a smooth paste. Add in the melted butter. Use a rubber spatula to fold the beaten eggs into the batter. Hold the batter at room temperature until ready to cook.
• Heat a 14-inch skillet or griddle pan to medium-high heat. Place 1 tablespoon of the butter on the skillet and ladle out 2 ounces of the batter. When the top of the pancake starts to bubble, use a large metal spatula to flip, and then cook on the other side until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat for the remaining batter, about 6 pancakes total, adding butter to the griddle before each pancake. Stack three pancakes on each plate and serve with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, confectioners' sugar, some maple syrup and the Apple Cranberry Compote.
• In a medium saucepot set over medium heat, add the cranberries, granulated sugar, honey, salt, apples, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, stir and continue cooking until the apples start to break down and the cranberries begin to pop, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm.

CRANBERRY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES (LOWFAT)

Steps:

• 1. Mash chopped cranberries with sugar and set aside. (I also finely chop up walnuts to add about 1/4 cup)
• 2. In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients. In a seperate bowl, beat egg until fluffy, then add buttermilk, honey and oil. Make a well in dry ingredients and slowly pour in buttermilk mixture. Stir just enough to combine.
• 3. Spray preheated griddle with nonstick oil. Ladle batter onto griddle. Sprinkle with cranberries and nuts if desired. Turn pancakes when half the bubbles burst, and briefly cook on the other side until golden.

HOMEMADE CRANBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• 2. Measure out the milk, add the oil, and the beaten egg, to the measuring cup with the milk. Mix well.
• 3. Pour wet ingredients into dry, stir gently, use a rubber spatula at this stage, stir just enough to combine and moisten, there will be large lumps, don't worry about that.
• 4. Put the batter aside, to rest a few minutes.
• 5. Preheat a non-stick skillet, seasoned with vegetable oil (Put a little oil on a paper towel, and wipe over bottom and halfway up sides of pan.) over medium low heat until a drop of cold water skitters, sizzles, and evaporates.
• 6. Pour pancake batter, by 1/4 cupfuls, into hot skillet.
• 7. When the surface begins to bubble, and the edges look dry, gently turn them over.
• 8. Turn only once.
• 9. Serve with either regular syrup (not maple, it would overwhelm) or a little bit of butter and a dash of cinnamon sugar.
