BOBBY FLAY'S DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees.
• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, sugars, 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, the melted butter and the vanilla extract.
• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, coffee powder, baking powder and salt.
• Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until combined. Add remaining buttermilk if mixture is too thick. Fold in the chocolate and allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Heat a large griddle or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Brush with the neutral oil and allow it to get hot. Drop ¼-cup portions of the batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles begin to rise to the surface, approximately 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute or two. As pancakes are ready, place them on a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven.
• Serve stacked, with raspberries and drizzled with warm caramel sauce.

PANCAKES, BOBBY FLAY'S RECIPE - (3.5/5)

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, butter and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add the egg mixture to the dry mixture and gently mix to combine. Do not overmix. Let the batter sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes before using. Heat a cast iron or nonstick griddle pan over medium heat and brush with melted butter. Once the butter begins to sizzle, use 2 tablespoons of the batter for each pancake and cook until the bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes, flip over and cook until the bottom is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer the pancakes to a platter and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven.

CHOCOLATE CHIP-PISTACHIO PANCAKES WITH SALTED HONEY CARAMEL SYRUP

Steps:

• For the syrup: Stir the honey and cream together in a deep saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture registers 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the butter and vanilla and whisk to combine, then whisk in the bourbon and salt. Cool to warm before serving. (The syrup can be made up to 3 days ahead. Store, covered, in the refrigerator and reheat before using.)
• For the pancakes: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until smooth, then whisk in the melted butter, honey, vanilla, orange zest and 1 1/2 cups buttermilk until just combined. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry. If the batter seems very thick, stir in a bit more buttermilk. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour. Stir in the pistachios and chocolate.
• Place a baking sheet with a baking rack in the oven; preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat and brush with butter. Working in batches, ladle about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle and cook until light golden brown on the bottom and bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes; continue cooking until golden brown on the reverse side, about another 2 minutes. Transfer the cooked pancakes to the oven and repeat with the remaining batter.
• To serve: Stack about 3 pancakes on each plate, drizzle with some of the syrup, dust with confectioners' sugar and garnish with mint, orange zest and pomegranate seeds. Serve hot.

Transfer the pancakes to a platter and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven.
• Serve 6 pancakes per person, top each with some of the bourbon butter. Drizzle with warm maple syrup and dust with confectioners' sugar. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and more toasted pecans, if desired.
• Bourbon Molasses Butter:
• Combine the bourbon and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until reduced to 3 tablespoons, remove and let cool.
• Put the butter, molasses, salt and cooled bourbon mixture in a food processor and process until smooth. Scrape into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before using to soften.

ORANGE RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH CARAMELIZED FIG AND PISTACHIO COMPOTE

Steps:

• Cook's Note: If you can't find fresh ricotta cheese, use the carton variety and strain through a fine mesh strainer for 1 hour before using.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Combine the ricotta, milk, egg yolks, vanilla and zest in a separate bowl and whisk until smooth.
• Beat the egg whites in an electric mixer until stiff. Add the dry ingredients to the ricotta and milk, stirring gently until just combined. Whisk in a small amount of the egg whites to lighten the batter, then fold in the remaining whites.
• Heat a cast-iron griddle or large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat and brush the surface with butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon a scant 1/3 cup of the batter onto the pan and cook the pancakes for 3 or 4 minutes. Flip, cooking until both sides are golden brown. Stack the pancakes and serve topped with the Fig and Pistachio Compote. Dust with confectioners' sugar and garnish with mint sprigs.
• Add the figs, butter, honey, brown sugar, pistachios, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a cast-iron skillet set over high heat. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the syrup begins to bubble and the figs just soften. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.;

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PANCAKES WITH SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, both kinds of sugar, buttermilk, butter, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the egg mixture and whisk until just combined. Fold in the chocolate, cover, and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Heat a large cast-iron griddle or nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Brush with butter and continue heating until the butter begins to foam. Drop scant 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the griddle. Bake until bubbles start to form and burst, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook to set the other side, another 1 to 2 minutes. As the pancakes are ready, put them in a single layer on the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
• Stack the pancakes on plates, drizzle with the warm caramel sauce, and top with a sprinkling of confectioners' sugar and some raspberries, if desired.
• Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup cold water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Cook, without stirring or touching, until the sugar turns a deep amber color, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, warm the cream in a small saucepan or in the microwave. When the caramel is ready, slowly whisk in the cream and continue simmering until the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and salt until combined. Serve warm.

CREAM CHEESE PANCAKES WITH CHERRIES JUBILEE SYRUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Set a baking rack over a baking sheet.
• For the pancakes: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the buttermilk. Add the cream cheese and mix until combined (the mixture will look broken). Stir in the melted butter, orange zest and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Whisk the egg whites in another bowl until soft peaks form, then gently fold into the batter.
• Heat a griddle or cast-iron pan over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles; brush with melted butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Drop the batter into the pan by 1/3 cupfuls, leaving space between each pancake. (This batter is thicker than regular pancake batter and will take a bit longer to cook and won't bubble as much.) Cook until golden brown on the bottom and just starting to dry a bit on top, adjusting the heat as necessary so the pancakes don't get too brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the reverse side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the finished pancakes to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
• For the syrup: Heat the cherries, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla bean and seeds in a large high-sided pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the cherries soften and the sugar dissolves, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from heat and add the kirsch; return to the heat and ignite with a match. Using a spoon, baste the cherries with the liqueur and juices until the flame dies out. Spoon over the pancakes to serve.
