Puffy Pancake With Banana Berry Compote Food

HEALTHY BANANA PANCAKES WITH BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Put the bananas, eggs, oats and cinnamon into a mixing bowl and whizz using a stick blender. There should be some texture in the oats but the mix needs to be fairly smooth.
• Put the berries in a small pan and heat gently for 5-8 minutes until softened. Add a splash of water if they start to catch.
• Heat a little coconut oil in a large frying pan and, when hot, add a medium ladleful of pancake batter. Turn down the heat to low and fry for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and repeat. The pancakes are quite thick so you may need to flip them again to make sure they're cooked but not too browned.
• Serve with the berry compote, adding a little honey if it's not sweet enough, with coconut flakes on top.

BANANA COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a stainless steel pot combine the orange and lemon juice and boil for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the maple syrup and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter. Cool slightly and add the sliced bananas. Keep warm but do not boil again.*
• In a large bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Beat the eggs with the buttermilk and melted butter. Combine the dry and the wet ingredients into a lumpy batter, being careful not to over mix**.
• Heat some butter in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet and sprinkle the top with some of the blueberries. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and maple syrup.

BANANA & CINNAMON PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Tip the flour and cinnamon into a bowl, then break in the whole eggs, pour in the milk and whisk together until smooth. Stir in the banana. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until light and fluffy, but not completely stiff, then fold into the pancake mix until evenly incorporated.
• Heat a small amount of oil in a large non-stick frying pan, then add a quarter of the pancake mix, swirl to cover the base of the pan and cook until set and golden. Carefully turn the pancake over with a palette knife and cook the other side. Transfer to a plate, then carry on with the rest of the batter until you have four.
• To make the compote, tip the berries in a non-stick pan and heat gently until the berries just burst but hold their shape. Serve two warm pancakes with half the berries, then scatter with the mint leaves and sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Chill the remaining pancakes and compote and serve the next day. You can reheat them in the microwave or in a pan.

CHEF LEE ANNE WONG'S PANCAKES WITH SUMMER BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together over a large piece of parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract together until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and whisk until a thick batter is formed. Whisk in the melted butter.
• Heat a nonstick griddle or pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of butter and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan to form a pancake. Cook until you see bubbles break the surface of the pancake and the underside is golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Then carefully flip the pancake to finish cooking on the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the pancakes to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm (or place in a preheated 200 degree F oven, covered) and continue to make the pancakes until all of the batter has been used up, wiping out the pan or griddle with a paper towel after each use.
• Serve with warm Summer Berry Compote.
• In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the mixed berries, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice.
• Saute the mixture, stirring often, until the berries begin to break down and release their juices, around 5 minutes. Add the pinch of salt and check for seasoning (add more sugar and lemon juice, if desired).
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the basil leaves. Serve immediately with warm pancakes.

FLUFFY BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Add the buttermilk to a large bowl. If you're using the vinegar plus milk option, let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the milk to turn to buttermilk. Whisk in the mashed banana, eggs, butter, and vanilla into the buttermilk.
• To a medium bowl, add the the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to combine.
• Pour the dry ingredients over the wet and mix just until incorporated. Do not overmix!
• Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. It should form bubbles and rise just a bit.
• Heat a non-stick griddle to 325 degrees Fahrenheit or place a large frying pan over medium heat. Melt a little butter on the cooking surface, spreading it evenly, if desired (or if the griddle/pan is not non-stick). Using a 1/3 cup measure (or a trigger-handled ice cream scoop works as well), pour the batter onto the griddle or into the frying pan. The pancakes are ready to flip when they look a little dry around the edges and start to form little bubbles (about a minute). Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown and the cooked through.
• Serve topped with sliced bananas, butter, and maple syrup.

AMERICAN-STYLE PANCAKES WITH VANILLA BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• To make the compote, put all the ingredients into a medium saucepan with 1 tbsp water. Stir and simmer gently over a low heat for 15 mins until warm and syrupy.
• Meanwhile, make the pancakes. Mix the milk, eggs and oil in a bowl. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and 1 tsp salt. Stir the dry ingredients together, then slowly pour in the wet ingredients until just combined.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan and add about 1 tsp oil. Pour in about 75ml of the pancake batter. When bubbles form on top, flip the pancake over and brown the other side. Keep the heat on medium so the middle cooks. Keep warm in a low oven while continuing to make pancakes with remaining batter.
• Serve warm pancakes topped with warm or room temperature compote.

FLOURLESS PANCAKES WITH BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a small blender, puree banana and eggs until smooth. Heat medium sized non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes or until hot. Add ½ of your butter/coconut oil to the pan and let sit for 30 seconds to heat up.
• Pour in batter slowly and make 4-6 small pancakes per pan. They should be the size of a soup can. Once browned on both sides, transfer to a plate.
• In a small pot, add berries, water and chia seeds. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until berries have broken down and the sauce has thickened.
• Spoon over pancakes and serve.
• Tip: Make the compote ahead of time to save time. It will last for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. • As there is no flour in the batter, it is slightly more fragile than traditional pancake batter.

Steps:

• Make the pancakes: Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Whisk together flour, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk in buttermilk, oil, and eggs. Let stand 10 minutes (if batter thickens, stir in 1 tablespoon water).
• Make the compote: Heat blueberries, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until berries begin to burst, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in sugar. Simmer, stirring often, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in blackberries.
• Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Spoon in 1 tablespoon batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear. Flip, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Keep warm in oven while you cook remaining batter. Serve with compote.
