Apple And Cranberry Puffy Pancakes Recipes

APPLE AND CRANBERRY PUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F and spray a 12 hole muffin tin with cooking spray. Make sure to spray it really well otherwise the pancakes may stick.
• Place milk, flour, eggs, butter, salt and vanilla extract into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and mix on high speed for 3 minutes.
• Mixture will be smooth and light. Divide the batter between your greased muffin holes, fill each one half way.
• Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes until risen and golden. They will be REALLY puffy and big, but will start to sink down as they cool.
• Leave to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. I found it easier to run around the edge of each pancake with a sharp knife to help loosen them up.
• Once cooled completely, place 1tbsp of applesauce into the centre of each pancake and top with a few of the chopped fresh cranberries.
• Pancakes will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature for 2 days with filling, 5 days without.

APPLE PUFF PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend eggs, milk and vanilla. Add flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon; mix just until blended. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a 9x9 inch square pan. Arrange apple slices in the bottom of the pan, and pour the batter over them. Sprinkle brown sugar over the top.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until puffed and lightly browned.

APPLE CRANBERRY PUFFED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, thoroughly whisk eggs. Slowly add the flour, whisking all the while to prevent lumps. Gradually add the milk and whisk to form a smooth batter. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the sliced apples, cranberries, cinnamon, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until fork tender, about 15 minutes.
• In a 9-inch oven-safe pie plate, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, taking care to not burn it (or spray pan with a non-stick cooking spray). Fill the plate with the cooked apple mixture, and top with the prepared batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
• Top the pancake with a sprinkling of lemon juice, if desired, and finish off with a liberal dusting of powdered sugar. Slice into portions and serve immediately.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH APPLE CRANBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale yellow, frothy and doubled in volume, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and blend until it becomes a smooth paste. Add in the melted butter. Use a rubber spatula to fold the beaten eggs into the batter. Hold the batter at room temperature until ready to cook.
• Heat a 14-inch skillet or griddle pan to medium-high heat. Place 1 tablespoon of the butter on the skillet and ladle out 2 ounces of the batter. When the top of the pancake starts to bubble, use a large metal spatula to flip, and then cook on the other side until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat for the remaining batter, about 6 pancakes total, adding butter to the griddle before each pancake. Stack three pancakes on each plate and serve with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, confectioners' sugar, some maple syrup and the Apple Cranberry Compote.
• In a medium saucepot set over medium heat, add the cranberries, granulated sugar, honey, salt, apples, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, stir and continue cooking until the apples start to break down and the cranberries begin to pop, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm.
