Four Flavor Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipes

FOUR-FLAVOR SHEET PAN PIE

Steps:

• For the crusts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll 3 of the pie crusts on a lightly floured work surface. Stack them on top of each other. Roll out the thick, layered dough to a 15-by-21-inch rectangle. Press into a rimmed baking sheet so that the crust comes up the sides and hangs over slightly. This will be the bottom crust. Chill until ready to use, at least 30 minutes.
• Use the remaining crust for the top of the pie. Unroll it on a lightly floured work surface and roll it to a 14-by-18-inch rectangle. Cut the dough in half so you have two 7-by-9-inch pieces. One half will be the top crust for the apple portion of the pie. Cut the other half into 1-inch diagonal strips to use for the lattice on the cherry pie. Place the rectangle and strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill until ready to use.
• For the apple pie: Toss the apples in a medium bowl with the sugar and lemon juice. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and cook until thickened, about 1 minute more. Cool completely.
• For the sour cherry pie: Place the cherries in a medium bowl. Whisk 1/4 cup cherry juice with the cornstarch in a small saucepan until completely smooth. Add the remaining cherry juice and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick and glossy, about 30 seconds. Pour the sauce over the cherries and gently fold to combine. Cool completely.
• For the pumpkin pie: Whisk together the pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and the egg and in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.
• For the pecan pie: Whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, eggs and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in the pecans and set aside.
• Once all fillings are made, begin assembling the pie. Remove both baking sheets with dough from the refrigerator.
• Visualize the sheet pan is divided in half lengthwise and then crosswise so you have 4 equal quadrants. Each quadrant will hold a different pie filling. Prick the bottom crust all over with a fork.
• Add the pie fillings in this order: Add the apple pie filling to the upper left quadrant of the crust; spread it to cover a 7-by-9-inch rectangle. Moving counter clockwise, pour the pumpkin filling right under the apple pie filling and spread it the same size as the apple filling. Spread out the cherry filling next to the pumpkin filling. Fill the top right empty space with the pecan filling.
• Cover the apple pie quadrant with the reserved rectangle of dough. Lay the pie strips out diagonally over the cherry pie quadrant. Press any remaining strips of dough around the edge of the pie to thicken the rim. Crimp the edge of the pie, making sure to incorporate and crimp together the dough from the apple quadrant. Brush the edges and the dough on top of the pie with egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Cut decorative slits in the apple pie crust.
• Bake until all pies are set and the crust on the apple pie and cherry pie is golden brown and crisp, 55 minutes to 1 hour 5 minutes.

FOUR-FLAVOR SHEET PAN UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• For the topping and fruits: Spray an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan that is at least 1 inch tall liberally with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's browned and has a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the brown sugar and rum. Pour the butter-sugar mixture into the prepared sheet pan. Using a rubber spatula, spread the mixture out to cover the bottom. Set aside to cool while you prepare the fruit.
• Cut the pineapple rings into half-moons. Cut the maraschino cherries in half. Slice off both ends of the navel oranges, then cut each into 1/4-inch-thick wheels, 4 to 5 pieces total per orange. Trim the wheels into even squares, about 1 1/2 inches in size (removing the rinds in the process). Repeat with the blood oranges. Cut the plums in half and remove the pits. Cut each half into 6 wedges, for a total of 24 wedges.
• With the long sides of the prepared sheet pan positioned horizontally in front of you, visualize the pan divided into 4 even sections: 2 sections in the top row and 2 sections in the bottom row. In the upper left quadrant, arrange the pineapple half-moons in rows 3 across and 5 down. Put a maraschino cherry half into each of the half-moon centers with the cut side up. You will have 1 piece each of pineapple and cherry left over, which you can save for another use or eat as a snack.
• Arrange the raspberries on the upper right quadrant of the sheet pan with the holes facing down. Starting right below the raspberries in the lower right quadrant, arrange the plum wedges in rows 4 across and 6 down. Arrange the citrus pieces side by side in the lower left quadrant of the sheet pan, alternating citrus types. You might have leftover citrus pieces, which you can save for another use or eat as a snack.
• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Beat the granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer on high until smooth and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Add the eggs and blend until combined, then mix in the vanilla. The mixture might look curdled, but that is okay. Reduce the mixer speed to medium. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk and beginning and ending with the flour; mix until just incorporated.
• Spoon large mounds of the cake batter on top of the fruit in the sheet pan. Use a large offset spatula to gently smooth out the batter. Bake, rotating the sheet pan once halfway through, until the cake is golden brown on top and springs back when you press it lightly in the center, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
• Run a paring knife or the tip of an offset spatula around the edge of the cake in the sheet pan. Put a large cutting board (it should be larger than the sheet pan) on top of the sheet pan and use 2 kitchen towels to carefully invert the sheet pan onto the cutting board. Use a large wooden spoon to tap the sheet pan all over, then gently lift away the sheet pan. Cut the cake into pieces and serve immediately while still warm.

SHEET PAN SWIRL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the cinnamon-apple swirl: In a medium bowl, add the apples, pecans, brown sugar, applesauce and cinnamon and stir to combine. Set aside.
• For the pancake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar and baking soda until combined. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and stir together until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Brush the bottom and sides of a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with the melted butter. Add the batter to the sheet and smooth into an even layer from edge to edge. Spoon the apple mixture, about 1 tablespoon at a time, evenly across the batter. Then, with the back of a spoon, swirl the mixture into the batter. Bake until golden brown and the top springs back when touched, 20 to 22 minutes.
• For the maple-vanilla syrup: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add the maple syrup and vanilla bean paste and bring to a simmer over medium low heat, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Remove the pancake from the oven. Slice and serve with the warm maple-vanilla syrup and pats of butter.

SHEET PAN PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Use 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to generously grease the bottom and sides of an 18-by-13-inch half-sheet pan.
• Into a blender, add the eggs, milk and vanilla. Next add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Blend until just combined, about 30 seconds.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Imagine the sheet pan in thirds, then sprinkle the chocolate chips in the first third, the blueberries in the second and the strawberries in the third, making 3 sections or stripes. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
• To serve, cut a square of the chosen flavor of pancake and top with some warm maple syrup.
