Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes Recipes

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH BLACKBERRY-BLUEBERRY BUTTER AND CINNAMON MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• For the basic buttermilk pancakes: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the eggs until smooth, whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla until smooth. Add the wet to the dry along with the butter and the optional ingredients, if using, and mix until just combined. (Lumps are ok). Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes before using.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a griddle, nonstick pan or cast iron pan over medium heat until evenly heated, about 5 minutes. Brush with butter and add a few teaspoons of oil.
• Drop scant 1/4 cups of the batter onto the griddle or into the pan and cook until the bottom of the pancakes are golden brown and the top surface becomes slightly dry and bubbles begin to form, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip over using a fish spatula or metal spatula and cook until the other side is lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes longer. Serve immediately slathered with the butter and drizzled with the syrup...or transfer to baking sheets in even layers and keep warm in oven.
• For the blackberry-blueberry butter (compound butter): Combine the berries, sugar and 1/4 cup of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Add the lemon juice and transfer to a bowl to cool. This mixture can be made 3 days in advance and can be stored, covered, in a bowl in the refrigerator.
• For a chunky butter: Combine the fruit, butter and salt in a bowl and mix until combined. For a smooth butter, combine the fruit, butter and salt in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth.
• Serve at room temperature or scrape into a bowl, cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze up to a month.
• For the maple-cinnamon syrup (flavored syrups): Combine the syrup, cinnamon and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove, cover with a lid and let steep for at least 1 hour. Can be made 3 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. Bring to a simmer before serving and remove and discard cinnamon sticks.

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.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES II

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter. Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. You can flick water across the surface and if it beads up and sizzles, it's ready!
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wooden spoon or fork to blend. Stir until it's just blended together. Do not over stir! Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
