Nut N Honey Pancakes 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.

GLUTEN-FREE HONEY-NUTS-N-OATS PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the gluten-free flour blend: In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum and salt.
• For the pancakes: In another large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, millet flour, baking powder and salt. (Reserve the remaining gluten-free flour blend for another use.)
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, oil, honey, vanilla extract and almond extract if using; stir into the flour mixture until combined.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle and grease with butter. Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of batter into the skillet and spread to make 3-inch rounds. Cook over medium heat until the pancakes are golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until fluffy and cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the pancakes to plates and top with the almonds and maple syrup.

OAT PANCAKES WITH RASPBERRIES AND HONEY

Steps:

• Warm the honey and raspberries in a small saucepan over a medium heat, stirring frequently, until the raspberries have thawed. This shouldn't take more than 3 minutes or so. Take the pan off the heat.
• Put the oats and salt in a blender or a food processor with the small bowl fitted, and process until you get the consistency of flour, a mealy flour to be sure, but it should still be fine-ground.
• Tip into a bowl and stir in the baking powder and cinnamon.
• In a measuring jug, whisk together the milk, egg and vanilla, and then stir the wet mixture into the dry, until thoroughly combined. If the batter thickens too much, add more milk. And do not let this batter rest, as otherwise it will thicken too much.
• Pour 1/2 a teaspoon of oil onto a smooth, non-stick griddle (or large cast-iron or heavy-based frying pan) and, with a piece of paper towel, smear it over the whole surface. Put the griddle on a medium heat and, when hot, add the batter, using a quarter-cup measure but only filling it two-thirds full. You should get 4 pancakes at a time, and they will need around 2 minutes a side. Generally, when cooking pancakes, you turn them over when you see bubbles coming to the uppermost side, and while that still holds true, the bubbles are rather understated here. So slip a spatula underneath a pancake after 2 minutes to see if the underside looks cooked, and then when it is, flip it, and the rest of the pancakes, over and cook for another 2 minutes. As always, do not press down on the pancakes as they cook, and do not flip them more than once. When you've cooked the first 4, pile them on a plate, and cover with a clean tea towel, then oil the pan again and proceed as before.
• Serve immediately--the oats carry on drinking up liquid, and the pancakes will dry on standing--with the warm raspberry honey poured on top.

QUICK ALMOND FLOUR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk almond flour, water, eggs, maple syrup, and salt together in a bowl until batter is smooth.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

GRAIN AND NUT WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Grind the oats in a blender or food processor until fine. In a large bowl, combine ground oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
• In another bowl, combine buttermilk, milk, oil, egg, and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix wet ingredients into dry with a few swift strokes. Stir in nuts, if desired.
• Lightly oil a skillet or griddle, and preheat it to medium heat. Ladle 1/3 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet; cook the pancakes for 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until brown.

NUT 'N HONEY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Dry-roast the chopped peanuts in a griddle over medium heat until lightly toasted. Set aside to cool.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla powder, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add milk, oil, and half of roasted peanuts; beat with a fork until smooth. Pour batter onto a hot, oiled griddle (in ~1/4-cup increments).
• Flip quickly when bubbles break the surface, and the edges are a bit stiffened. Cook one minute longer, then transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
• As you stack the pancakes, smoothing a thin layer of peanut butter over each cake. When finished, spoon the remaining chopped peanuts over the pancake stack, and douse with honey syrup. Serve warm with a glass of soy milk. Enjoy!
