Doughnut Pancakes With Strawberry Coffee Sauce Food

HEART-SHAPED WHOLE-WHEAT PANCAKES WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Preheat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over a medium-low flame.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour through salt). In another medium bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, non-fat milk, honey and vanilla.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to combine them. The batter will be somewhat lumpy.
• Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to ladle the batter onto the griddle or skillet. Flip the pancake when the top is bubbling and it is golden brown on the bottom. Then cook until the other side is golden brown. Hold on an oven proof plate in the oven until the entire batch is ready. When all the pancakes are ready, cut them into heart shapes with a heart shaped cookie cutter. Ladle about 1/3 cup of the strawberry sauce onto each plate, place pancakes on top and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if using.
• Puree strawberries to a chunky puree. Heat them in a small saucepan over a low flame, until they are just warm. Stir in lemon juice and maple syrup.

STRAWBERRY GLAZE FOR DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, jam, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a medium bowl until well combined and smooth.

DOUGHNUT PANCAKES WITH STRAWBERRY-COFFEE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: Blend the strawberry jam and coffee in a blender until smooth, then transfer to a bowl.
• For the pancakes: Put the oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• In a clean blender, puree the doughnuts, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, and cream until smooth. Cook's Note: Batter will be thick.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately-high heat until the foam subsides. Working in batches of 12, drop rounded teaspoons of batter into the skillet and cook until the pancakes are set around the edges and undersides are golden, approximately 1 minute. Carefully flip and cook until puffed and undersides are golden brown, about 1 more minute.
• Transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Make more pancakes as you wish, adjusting the heat when necessary and using 1 tablespoon butter for each batch. Serve the pancakes with strawberry-coffee sauce.
