TRI-BERRY OVEN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Gently combine the berries and sugar in a small bowl and set aside while you make the pancakes. Place 4 (6- to 7-inch) individual gratin dishes on two sheet pans. Place 1 teaspoon of butter in each gratin dish and set aside.
• Place the eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on medium speed until mixed. Add the milk and combine. Slowly add the flour, vanilla, orange zest, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and the salt and mix just until smooth. Whisk by hand if the mixture is lumpy.
• Place the gratin dishes in the oven for 3 minutes, until the butter is hot and bubbly. Make sure the butter covers the bottom of each dish. Immediately divide the batter equally among the gratin dishes and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned. Divide the berries among the dishes, drizzle with maple syrup, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve hot.

SOPHIE'S TRIPLE B PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl mix together the buttermilk, butter or oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Pour the wet ingredients in to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth (the batter should run off a teaspoon easily, leaving only a thin coating). Fold in the blueberries. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and leave in the fridge overnight. The next morning preheat the pan to medium and the oven to 170. Oil or butter pan. For 1 large pancake pour 1/3 cup batter on pan per pancake, for 4 small pancakes pour 2 tbsp batter on pan per pancake. Fry till golden brown, flip, and fry till tan. Put pancakes in oven while you fry the rest. Serve with butter spread on top and topping of your choice.

PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
• Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Whisk the butter into the milk mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
• Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
• Procedure for adding fruit to pancakes: Once the bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, scatter the surface with sliced or diced fruit, or chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Flip with a spatula and cook for 1 minute more, being careful not to burn toppings.
