Do you like to make pancakes on the weekend? Perfect for a late breakfast or for brunch, these tender pancakes are topped and garnished with chopped walnuts. The sauce may be made the night before, if you like. Simply cover and refrigerate, then warm up while the pancakes cook. Depending on the size of the griddle, this makes a batch of 4 or 6 pancakes.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large apple - peeled, cored, and diced
2 tablespoons water
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup heavy cream
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 ¼ cups milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ cup chopped, toasted walnuts

Steps:

  • Combine diced apples and water in a microwave-safe dish for the sauce. Cover and microwave on high power for 3 minutes. Stir, replace cover, and microwave on high until apples are fork-tender, about 2 more minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Combine brown sugar, cream, butter, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. Mixture should be bubbly all over the surface. Mix in vanilla extract and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cooked, drained apples.
  • Preheat an electric griddle to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
  • Combine eggs and milk in a separate container, stirring briskly until eggs are well incorporated. Drizzle in melted butter while stirring. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until most of the lumps are gone.
  • Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour batter in batches onto the preheated griddle, forming 6-inch pancakes.
  • Cook until bubbles form on top of the pancakes and the surface begins to look a little dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Brown to desired doneness on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes. Keep first batch warm in a 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) oven, while the remaining pancakes cook.
  • Serve a stack of 3 pancakes with caramelized apple sauce, and garnish with chopped, toasted walnuts.

This recipe is from King Arthur's All-Purpose Baking Book and my family's current favorite recipe. They have a spongy texture and soak in the syrup.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 Pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons butter, melted or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar (for diner-style pancakes) or 1/4 cup instant malted milk powder (for diner-style pancakes)

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla until light and foamy, about 3 minute at high speed of a mixer (I do this step in blender and mix the rest in bowl with a large whisk).
  • Stir in butter or oil.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together and gently, but quickly, mix into the egg and milk mixture.
  • Let the batter relax while griddle is heating (or overnight in refrigerator) The batter will thicken upon resting.
  • Grease and preheat griddle.
  • The griddle is ready if a drop of water will skitter across the surface, evaporating immediately.
  • Drop ¼ cupfuls of batter on the lightly greased griddle.
  • Cook on one side until bubbles begin to form and break (this is the time to add anything like berries, chocolate chips, etc), then turn the pancakes and cook the other side until brown (turning only once).
