Apple Buttermilk Pancakes Recipes

APPLE CINNAMON BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the baking soda, flour, baking powder, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon.
• In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, sour cream and melted butter; add to the flour mixture and stir JUST until the flour is moistened.
• Stir in the grated apple.
• Drop a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto a hot lightly greased griddle.
• Cook, turning once until golden brown.

PERFECT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour the melted butter into the mixture. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving towards the outside of the bowl, until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat (lumps are fine). The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
• Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast-iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to crowd the cooking surface.
• Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.

CARAMELIZED APPLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat a large, seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once skillet is hot and butter has melted, add diced apple and sprinkle evenly with sea salt. Toss and stir to coat the apples with melted butter and salt. Cover skillet with a lid for about 2 minutes.
• Remove lid and stir. Reduce heat slightly if apples are starting to brown too much. Cover and cook until apples are soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove lid and continue to cook, stirring, until apples are lightly browned all over, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and mix in coconut sugar, cinnamon, and apple pie spice. Set aside.
• Sift flour into a medium mixing bowl and add sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix to combine. Whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in a second bowl. Pour liquid ingredients into flour mixture; stir just enough to incorporate.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter at a time onto the hot griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve pancakes with caramelized apples.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Make the topping. Peel, core and quarter the apples, then slice each quarter into four. Heat the butter in a large frying pan. Cook the apples until golden, but still firm. Stir in the pecans and maple syrup. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
• For the pancakes, sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, sugar and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Whisk the egg whites until stiff. Mix together the egg yolks, buttermilk and melted butter and whisk into the flour mixture until the batter is thick and smooth. Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter until evenly mixed.
• Heat a large frying pan, preferably non-stick, and brush lightly with melted butter. Drop 2 or 3 large spoonfuls of batter into the pan to make pancakes about 10cm in diameter. When the surface has dulled slightly and bubbles appear, after about 3-4 minutes, carefully flip the pancakes over and cook on the other side until browned.
• To serve, place a spoonful of the apple mixture on a pancake, top with a second pancake and spoon over more of the topping. Repeat to make three more pancake stacks.
