Apricot Pancakes With Honey Butter Recipes

STRAWBERRY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt the 6 Tablespoons of butter first. Microwave or stovetop - either is fine. Set aside to slightly cool. You don't want it piping hot.
• In a large bowl, toss the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together until combined. Set aside.
• In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract together until combined. Whisk in the melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk by hand gently to combine the ingredients. The batter is thick and a few lumps may remain. Very gently, fold in the strawberries.
• Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat generously with butter. Once hot, drop about 1/4 cup of batter on the griddle. Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles begin to form on the sides, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Coat griddle/skillet again with butter for each pancake or batch of pancakes.
• Keep pancakes warm in a preheated 200°F (93°C) oven until all pancakes are cooked.
• Serve pancakes immediately with honey butter and maple syrup. (Though I love them even without the maple syrup!)

APRICOT HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Grate rind and squeeze juice from lemons; you'll need 2 tablespoons grated rind and 1/2 cup lemon juice.
• Combine apricots, lemon rind, water, lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Don't use aluminum; stainless steel is good.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, reduce heat to low and STIRRING FREQUENTLY, keep at a low boil for 35 - 40 minutes or until apricots are tender.
• CAREFULLY pour into blender or food processor and process until smooth. Return to saucepan.
• Add honey; stir and return to boil. Again reduce heat and cook, UNCOVERED, at a low boil until very thick. STIR FREQUENTLY.
• Ladle into hot sterilized jars. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims, add hot lids and rings.
• Process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes OR refrigerate and use within 1 month.

APRICOT BUTTER

Steps:

APRICOT-ALMOND PANCAKES

Steps:

• In 1-quart saucepan, heat jam over low heat until melted, stirring constantly. Keep warm while making pancakes.
• In medium bowl, stir all remaining ingredients with wire whisk or fork until blended.
• Brush griddle or skillet with vegetable oil or spray with cooking spray; heat griddle to 375°F or heat skillet over medium heat.
• 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 brown. Serve with warm apricot jam.

APRICOT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together thoroughly.
• Add lemon juice to cream and let sit for 2 minutes.
• While cream sits, beat eggs into the milk. Combine with cream, molasses, and vanilla.
• Toss apricots and walnuts with the dry mix. Be sure to break up clumps.
• Preheat lightly-greased griddle medium to medium-high.
• Pour liquid mix into dry mix and stir together well to make a thick but fluid batter. DO NOT OVERMIX or pancakes will not be as light.
• Ladle batter onto griddle to make pancakes about 4 inches in diameter. Turn when bubbles appear all over the pancake.
• Cook until done in the middle - adjusting heat if necessary to avoid burning.
• Continue, greasing griddle as necessary, until all pancakes are cooked.
• Batter may thicken as it stands. It may be necessary to thin it with a little additional milk if it gets so thick that the pancakes don't cook properly in the center.
• Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or toaster oven. Do not use regular toaster because of the fruit.
• Leftovers can be eaten cold for breakfast or snacks.
• Leftovers can be frozen flat on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper then loaded into freezer bags to use as needed.

HONEY BUTTER SYRUP (GOES GREAT ON PANCAKES!)

Steps:

• Melt butter in a pot on the stove.
• Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
• Add honey (TIP: When measuring honey, add some oil to the measure so it won't stick as much), milk and spices.
• Stir and add to whatever you desire for a sweet treat that is moderately healthy!:).
