Nut N Honey Pancakes Adapted From Brownstone Diner Panca Recipes

NUT 'N' HONEY PANCAKES ADAPTED FROM BROWNSTONE DINER & PANCA

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla syrup in a large mixing bowl and whisk until fully incorporated.
• Whisk the dry ingredients (excluding the nuts) together in another bowl.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. A few lumps here and there keep the pancakes fluffier.
• Heat the grill until hot and brush with butter.
• Ladle 1/4 cup batter to make 4" diameter pancakes.
• Mix the nuts together. After about 15 seconds, sprinkle a handful of the medley into the center of each pancake.
• Depending on the temperature of the griddle, after 30 seconds to a minute, the edges of the pancake should begin to curl.
• Using a spatula, flip the pancake over. After another 30 seconds or so, the pancake should be a light golden brown and can be removed from the griddle.
• To finish off, drizzle honey over the pancakes and lightly dust with confectioners' sugar.
• Butter can be added to taste, although it's generally not needed because the pancakes are very moist.
• To maintain fluffiness, the pancake batter should be used the same day it is prepared.

DINER-STYLE BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Using a fork, beat eggs, buttermilk, seltzer, vanilla, and 3 Tbsp. melted butter in a medium bowl to incorporate eggs. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and whisk to combine (batter will be slightly lumpy).
• Heat a large griddle or 2 cast-iron or nonstick skillets over medium; brush with butter. Working in batches, scoop 1/2-cupfuls of batter onto griddle; cook until bubbles form on the surface and pop and the underside is golden brown, 2 1/2-3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until golden brown on the bottom, 2-2 1/2 minutes more. Transfer pancakes to plates or a platter and brush tops with butter. Serve with maple syrup alongside.

HONEY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In 1-quart saucepan, heat all syrup ingredients over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm; keep warm.
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or electric griddle to 375°F. Grease with cooking spray, vegetable oil or shortening. (Surface is ready when a few drops of water sprinkled on it dance and disappear.)
• In medium bowl, stir all pancake ingredients until blended. For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle.
• Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook other sides until golden. Serve with warm syrup.

EASY BANANA NUT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour, walnuts, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center.
• Whisk almond milk, bananas, melted butter, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until smooth. Whisk in egg. Pour mixture into the well in the flour mixture; stir until just combined.
• Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat. Drop 1/4 cup batter into the skillet; tilt gently to spread batter evenly. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are firm, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
