Cranberry And Corn Pancakes Recipes

CORNMEAL-CRANBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Peel, core, quarter and cut the apples into 1-inch pieces. Place the apples, sugar, salt, spice, cider and 1/3 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the apples are soft and the juices thick, about 75 minutes. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 teaspoons water. About 5 minutes before the compote is done, stir the cornstarch mixture into the apples. Keep warm.
• Place the cream cheese in a bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, cook the sugar over medium-high heat to a dark caramel, swirling the pan as it begins to brown to distribute the sugar. Do not stir. Off the heat, carefully whisk in the cream and butter. Return to low heat, add a pinch of salt and simmer until the solids dissolve. Stir 3 teaspoons of caramel sauce into the cream cheese. Mix until the cream cheese dissolves, then whisk this mixture back into the caramel sauce. Keep warm.
• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, heat the butter and milk until the butter melts. Set aside until lukewarm, about 15 minutes. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Slowly stir in 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture (it cannot be hot, or it will cook the eggs). Pour in the remaining milk mixture and stir to combine.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture a little at a time, stirring slowly, just until the dry ingredients are well moistened. The batter should be lumpy and will start to bubble.
• Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat until a few drops of water sprinkled on it sizzle. Lightly grease the pan with butter, then add 3 to 4 tablespoons batter to make a 4-inch pancake. As soon as the batter sets, sprinkle the top with cranberries. Cook until bubbles break on the surface. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds, or until the bottom is lightly browned. Repeat, buttering the pan and adjusting the heat as needed. Serve topped with apple compote and lightly drizzled with caramel-butter sauce or maple syrup.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH GLAZED ORANGES AND CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• 1. Finely grate the zest from one of the oranges and set aside. Trim the ends from both oranges then cut away the peel and white pith. Working over a bowl, cut along both sides of each membrane with a paring knife to remove the segments. Discard any seeds. Cut each orange into segments. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl.
• 2. Put the cranberries and 1/4 cup orange juice in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until cranberries plump and liquid is absorbed, about 45 seconds. Set aside.
• 2. Whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt in a medium bowl. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Transfer the melted butter to another bowl and whisk in the buttermilk, eggs, sugar, and orange zest until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.
• 3. Heat some butter in the skillet and drop 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the top of each pancake and bottoms brown, 4 minutes. Flip and cook, until the other side is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm.
• 4. Increase the heat to medium-high and pour the remaining orange juice and marmalade into the skillet, bring to a simmer. Add the orange segments and cranberries, then swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until glazed, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in mint. Top pancakes with the glazed oranges. Serve.

CRANBERRY CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH GLAZED ORANGES

Steps:

• 1. Put the cranberries in a small microwave safe bowl. Squeeze 1/4 cup juice from 1 orange into the bowl. Microwave until plump on HIGH, about 45 seconds. Set aside to cool. Grate 1/2 teaspoon of zest from one of the oranges, set aside. Trim the skins and pith from both oranges with a sharp knife; and working over a bowl to catch all their juices, cut oranges into segments.
• 2. In a medium bowl whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, canola oil, 3 teaspoons Truvia™ natural sweetener and orange zest until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Fold in the plumped cranberries and any juice.
• 3. Heat a heavy non-stick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water skitters around the pan. Drop 1/4 cups of batter for each pancake into the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the top of each pancake and the bottoms brown, 4 minutes. Flip and cook (adjusting the heat if needed) until other sides is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Keep pancakes warm.
• 4. Pour the juice from the orange segments and remaining 3/4 teaspoon Truvia™ natural sweetener into the hot skillet and bring to simmer. Swirl in butter. Add the orange segments and gently toss to coat until glazed, 1 minute. Stir in mint. Top pancakes with the glazed oranges. Serve.
• Note: Pancakes can be made the day before and refrigerated in a resealable plastic bag. Reheat on a baking sheet in a 400 degrees F oven until hot and crisp, about 10 minutes.
