Pine Nut Pancakes Recipes

PINE NUT PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine baking mix, cereal, banana, apple, raisins and pine nuts. In another bowl, beat egg, milk and vanilla; stir in the dry ingredients just until moistened. , Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes. Cook until second side is golden brown. Serve immediately.

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.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH VANILLA AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Combine the cornmeal, salt and 1 1/2 cups boiling water in a bowl and let it sit until the cornmeal absorbs the water and softens, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in the milk, a little at a time, until the batter is spreadable but still thick. Stir in 2 tablespoons oil, the vanilla and the pine nuts.
• Put a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. When a few drops of water dance on its surface, add a thin film of oil and let it become hot. Spoon out the batter, making any size pancakes you like. Cook until bubbles form on the top and burst and the underside is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes; turn and cook on the other side until golden. You may have to rotate the cakes to cook them evenly, depending on the heat source and pan. As they finish, transfer them to a plate in the oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve with honey.

NUT AND SESAME SEED STUFFED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine both flours, the yeast, sugar, salt, oil, warm milk, and ¼ cup (2 fl oz. or 60 ml) water. Knead or mix with a spatula until everything comes together in a sticky dough. Cover and set aside to rise until doubled in size, 1-2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: In a food processor, combine the nuts and sesame seeds and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, tahini, date molasses, rose water, cinnamon, and salt and mix until everything comes together in a coarse paste.
• Oil your hands and divide the dough into 12 equal portions (about the size of golf balls) and place on an oiled tray. One at a time, flatten each ball until it's slightly larger than your palm and spoon a generous tablespoon of the filling into the center. Bring the edges together to seal each parcel into a ball.
• Pour a very thin layer of vegetable oil into a large frying pan and place over medium heat. When hot, place one ball and flatten it to a wide disc with an oiled spatula. Repeat until the pan is full. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 1 minute, then flip and continue to cook until the other side is a golden brown as well. Remove from the heat and serve while still warm.

BLUE CORNMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the blue cornmeal, salt and sugar. Stir in the boiling water until all of the ingredients are wet. Cover, and let stand for a few minutes.
• In a measuring cup, combine the milk, egg and melted butter. Stir the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the cornmeal mixture until just incorporated. If the batter is stiff, add a little more milk until it flows off the spoon thickly but smoothly.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, and grease it with a dab of oil or butter. Use about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Quickly sprinkle a few pignoli onto each cake. When the entire surface of the pancakes are covered with bubbles, flip them over, and cook the other side until golden. It's hard to tell when blue food is cooked through--so give them a few extra seconds if you're in doubt.
• Serve immediately with maple syrup of fruit preserves.
