Cinnamon Spiced Chard Pancakes Passover Recipes

CINNAMON-SPICED SWISS CHARD PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir chard with any water still clinging to leaves in large pot over medium-high heat until just wilted but still green, about 3 minutes. Place in sieve; press out moisture. Cool completely.
• Combine eggs, onion, matzo meal, cinnamon, salt, allspice and pepper in medium bowl; blend well. Mix in chard.
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Place baking sheet in oven. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop heaping 1 tablespoon Swiss chard mixture for each pancake into skillet; flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Fry pancakes until golden brown and cooked through, adding more olive oil to skillet as necessary, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pancakes to baking sheet in oven to keep warm after each batch. Serve pancakes warm with lemon wedges.

SPICED MAPLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Whisk milk, egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a separate bowl. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just blended.
• Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil on a griddle over medium heat; pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form on top of pancakes, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until second side is golden brown, 3 to 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

HOLIDAY SPICE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, Mulling Spices, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk the milk, egg, oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened., Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle. Turn when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with syrup.

SWEET CINNAMON CRISPY PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the roux: Cook the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until light golden brown. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for another 2 minutes.
• For the first dough: Mix the flour and boiling water together in a small bowl until a dough forms. Knead for a minute or two to make sure that everything comes together. Set aside.
• For the second dough: Meanwhile, pour the room temperature water into the bowl of a stand mixer and top with flour and salt. Mix with the dough hook on medium-low speed until dough starts to come together. While dough is in the beginning phase of mixing, add in the hot water dough in small chunks. Knead on medium-low speed until the dough comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a work surface (oiled so the dough does not stick) and knead by hand until smooth and one consistent temperature; be careful not to overwork. Wrap tightly in plastic and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• For rolling out: Divide dough into 65-gram portions and cover with plastic wrap. (The dough dries out very quickly before it is rolled out, so be sure to keep it covered if you are not working with it.)
• Whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and cocoa powder in a bowl and set aside. Squeeze a tablespoon or so of oil onto a very clean marble, stone or metal countertop and spread around. Place one dough ball in the center of the oiled surface and sprinkle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar/cocoa mixture. Gently but using force, roll dough ball with a floured rolling pin until very thin and slightly translucent. The rolled dough will be oddly shaped and that is okay. If the dough rips, that's also ok--it's still usable. Once dough is rolled to translucent point, brush with a layer of roux.
• Working from the bottom end of the rolled dough (the end closest to your body), begin gently rolling dough up like a cigar. The end result will be a long "snake". Twist the snake into a coil. Smash the coil down with your palm and roll this into a 1/4-inch thick and 4-inch-wide pancake.
• Repeat until all your pancakes are complete. Store pancakes in the refrigerator between layers of parchment paper greased with oil until you're ready to cook.
• Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of oil and a cold pancake to the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, before flipping and covering again. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate. Serve hot with maple syrup.

CINNAMON & SPICE PANCAKES WITH WARM PEACH TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet or griddle to medium heat. Preheat oven to low heat (180 F - 200 F).
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoons nutmeg.
• In another medium mixing bowl, whisk one egg until frothy. Then add milk, oil and vanilla extract; then whisk until combined.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and whisk in the wet ingredients all at once.
• While cooking the pancakes, start the peach topping. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add peach slices, maple syrup, lemon juice, 1 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoons nutmeg; toss to coat evenly. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 - 10 minutes or until peach slices have softened slightly, and a sauce is formed. Remove from heat and cover until ready to eat.
• Using a 1/4 cup sized measuring cup, pour pancake batter onto a hot, greased skillet/griddle over medium heat, leaving enough space between each pancake for them to expand.
• Cook for 2-4 minutes or until surface begins to bubble and edges appear slightly dry. Turn and cook for another 2 minutes until golden. To keep pancakes hot until ready to serve, place on a heat-resistant plate in the oven on low heat.
• Serve pancakes hot with peach topping.

PASSOVER PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add ricotta cheese; whisk until smooth. Mix in sugar and enough matzo meal to bind batter into a thick consistency.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Plop batter by heaping tablespoons into the skillet. Cook until browned, about 1 minute; flip and flatten pancake. Cook until other side is browned, about 1 minute more. Repeat with the remaining batter.
