Orange Poppy Seed Pancakes With Rosemary Maple Syrup Food

ORANGE POPPYSEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• First, prepare syrup by combining maple syrup and zest in a jug, cup or bowl, and set aside to allow orange flavours to infuse through syrup. Prepare pancakes:
• Combine the flour/s, sweetener/sugar and baking powder in a medium sized bowl.
• Make a well in the centre and add egg, butter, milk and juice. Mix into the flour to combine. Fold through zest and poppy seeds but don't over beat the batter
• Cook on a nonstick pan/skillet using ¼ cup batter per pancake until golden, and flip.
• Repeat with remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.
• Serve with prepared orange syrup, frozen yoghurt, ice cream, etc!

ORANGE POPPY SEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and coconut oil. Then whisk in the sugar, orange zest and juice and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
• Then carefully whisk in the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk until almost all combined. Add in the poppy seeds and continue mixing just until everything is combined. For light and fluffy pancakes, be sure not to overmix.
• Heat a skillet or griddle over a medium flame and butter or oil the pan. Once hot (a splash of water sizzles when thrown on the pan,) scoop 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking the other side. The second side will take slightly less time. Continue with the rest of batter.
• Serve them simply with a little butter & maple syrup or get creative and add some whipped cream or whipped ricotta like Britney. (Ricotta whipped in the food processor or mixer until creamy.) Some orange marmalade is great too. Or a little Whipped Honeyed Yogurt like we did. Enjoy.

LEMON POPPY SEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the raspberry syrup: Combine the raspberries, maple syrup and lemon juice in a small pot and place over medium-low heat. Using the back of a fork, lightly mash the raspberries. Allow to heat through while you prepare the pancakes.
• For the pancakes: Stir the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. In a separate large bowl, mix the sour cream, lemon extract, food coloring, eggs and lemon zest until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined.
• Heat a griddle over medium-low heat. Smear the griddle with the butter. Drop the batter in 1/4-cup portions onto the griddle. Cook on the first side until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges are starting to brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until set in the middle, an additional minute or two. Remove the pancakes from the griddle and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Strain the raspberries from the syrup and discard the pulp.
• For serving: Serve the pancakes topped with additional butter, the raspberry syrup, canned whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

ORANGE- POPPY SEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F Put the soy milk and water into a small bowl and stir until well combined.
• Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the wet and stir to combine, using as few strokes as possible so you do not overmix the batter.
• Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the batter to thicken. Lightly oil a frying pan over medium heat.
• Using a measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup dollops of batter onto the pan . Cook until pancakes are bubbly on top and the edges are slightly dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Trun and cook until the pancakes are light brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Transfer finished pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest. Oil the pan before each new batch.
• Serve with your choice of toppings!

ALMOND POPPY SEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°F Place the almond paste in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on low speed while adding the milk, a little at a time, to loosen up the paste until it's smooth and not lumpy. Alternatively, you can process the almond paste with a little of the milk in a food processor until smooth (add just enough milk to help the almond paste thin out).
• Add the sour cream, almond extract, and eggs. Whisk or process until well-blended and smooth.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Whisk well to thoroughly combine.
• Slowly pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients while gently stirring, and mix just until combined. (Don't overmix or you will activate the gluten in the flour and the pancakes will be chewy, like bread, instead of fluffy.) The mixture will be a little lumpy (and that's OK; if you have pockets of flour bigger than a dime, smash them against the side of the bowl to break them apart without having to stir the batter more). Pour in the melted butter and gently mix just until incorporated. (Sometimes melted butter solidifies when added to cold ingredients. Adding it now helps disperse it evenly in the batter and smooth out some of the lumps.).
• Place a griddle or wide (preferably 14-inch) sauté pan over medium heat for several minutes. If using an electric griddle, set the heat to 350°F.
• Sprinkle the griddle with a few drops of water; they should bounce around before evaporating. If they sizzle away quickly, the heat is too high. If they just sit there and slowly steam, the heat is too low. When the griddle is properly heated, brush with oil or clarified butter, and then wipe with a paper towel so it's evenly greased. (Big spots of oil or butter will promote uneven browning and your pancakes will have dark and light spots.).
• Ladle 1/2 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle, an inch or two apart. Sprinkle evenly with 1 Tbs. toasted almonds.
• Cook until bubbles begin to pop on the surface of the pancakes, the edges look a little dry, and the underside is golden, about 2 minutes. Flip them over and continue cooking until the pancakes are cooked through, about 1 minute more. (If the undersides of the pancakes are browning or burning before the tops get a chance to form bubbles and dry out, the heat is too high. If it's taking much longer than 2 or 3 minutes for the bubbles to form, the heat is too low.).
• Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the pancakes warm on a heatproof platter or baking sheet in the oven.
• Serve with whipped butter and maple syrup.
