Provided by Krissy Allori

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons sugar
pinch salt
2 large eggs (beaten)
2 tbsps orange zest (from one very large or two small oranges)
3 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 1/2 cups cranberries (frozen and thawed or fresh)
Additional butter for griddle

Steps:

  • Preheat griddle on medium low heat. Be sure the griddle is fully heated through before adding pancake batter.
  • In large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, zest, buttermilk, and melted butter. Pour wet ingredients into bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir very gently by folding liquid into dry ingredients. You want your batter to be lumpy.
  • Grease hot grill with butter. Place large spoonful of batter onto grill. Top each pancake with 8-12 cranberries, then dot the top of each cranberry with a bit of batter to prevent the pancake from sticking to the grill after you flip it. Do not flip until the pancake has lots of bubbles and the bottom is a golden brown. Flip only once and do not smash down with your spatula.
  • Serve with pure maple syrup. YUM!

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH APPLE CRANBERRY COMPOTE



Buttermilk Pancakes with Apple Cranberry Compote image

Provided by Amanda Freitag

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 eggs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
11 tablespoons cold butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Maple syrup, for serving
Apple Cranberry Compote, recipe follows, for serving
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 Gala apples, skin on, cored and diced
1 stick cinnamon
1 lemon, juiced and zested

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)



Cranberry Buttermilk Pancakes (Lowfat) image

When I eat breakfast out I always try to get my Cranberry Walnut pancakes, of course not every place serves them! I can always make them at home and I have this recipe I got from Crazed for Cranberries cookbook in 1997. Enjoy !

Provided by Carol Junkins

Categories     Pancakes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c fresh cranberries, washed and chopped ( could use craisins)
1/2 c sugar
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 egg white
2 c low fat buttermilk
3 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp canola oil

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.

LOW-FAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES



Low-Fat Buttermilk Pancakes image

These are from Susan Powter, but don't let the low-fat make you think these are not really tasty. I put all ingredients in a food processor, give it a good mixing, then fry in a hot skillet coated with cooking spray. I don't know why, but the first pancakes poured in the skillet always seem to be "sacrificial" (our dachsies love them). Keep the faith -- subsequent batches will be just fine. I often have a hungry pack of teens at my home on a Saturday morning -- doubling this recipe works great. Leftovers refrigerate well in a zip top bag for a quick reheat in the microwave. These also are delicious as pigs in blankets -- wrapped around cooked turkey sausage links. Cooking time noted is per batch of pancakes. Number of batches varies depending upon the size you make your pancakes.

TOASTED WALNUT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH CRANBERRY MAPLE SYRUP



Toasted Walnut Buttermilk Pancakes with Cranberry Maple Syrup image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Breakfast     Brunch     Quick & Easy     Cranberry     Walnut     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Makes about six 4-inch pancakes, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup cranberries, picked over
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted lightly and chopped fine
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus addition melted butter for brushing the griddle

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan combine the syrup with the cranberries, simmer the mixture, covered for 5 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst, and keep the syrup warm, covered. In a bowl stir together the flour, the sugar, the baking soda, the salt, the cinnamon, and the walnuts. In a small bowl stir together the buttermilk, the egg, and 1 tablespoon of the butter, add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it is just combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°F. Heat a griddle over moderate heat until it is hot enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface and brush it with the additional butter. Spoon 1/4-cup measures of the batter onto the griddle and cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden. Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked to a heatproof plate and keep them warm in the oven. Serve the pancakes with the syrup.

Tips:

  • To achieve fluffy pancakes, ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature. Cold buttermilk can result in dense pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For crispy edges, cook the pancakes over medium heat. Low heat will result in soggy pancakes.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These low-fat cranberry buttermilk pancakes are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a stack of fluffy, delicious pancakes that are sure to please everyone at the table.
