Souffled Pumpkin Pancake Recipes

SOUFFLE PANCAKE

Steps:

• Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a 12-inch oven-proof skillet over low heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Separate eggs, placing egg whites in a large bowl and egg yolks in a medium bowl. Add flour, milk, sugar, lemon juice, salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract to the bowl of yolks. Add 3 tablespoons melted butter; lightly mix into a slightly lumpy batter. Let batter rest while whipping egg whites.
• Whisk egg whites into stiff peaks using a wire whisk or electric mixer. Gently fold batter into the egg whites.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Pour in batter just before butter starts to brown. Cook until slightly set, 2 to 3 minutes. Drop in sliced strawberries until they are mostly submerged.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake souffle until top is light brown and center is set and doesn't jiggle when shaken, about 25 minutes. Broil until top is dark brown in color, about 2 minutes.
• Slide pancake onto a plate and sprinkle confectioners' sugar on top.

PUMPKIN SOUFFLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
• In another separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Add flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and mix together with a spatula until smooth. The batter will be fairly thick. Set aside.
• Using a hand-mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites over low speed until foamy. Increase speed to medium-high and whisk until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over whip, as egg whites will start to breakdown and weep (release moisture) if not watched carefully. Note: Although it is not essential that the egg whites be room temperature before starting, it will make the process easier and more effective. Gently fold the egg whites, in two separate additions, into the pumpkin batter with a spatula.
• Heat a tab of butter in large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter begins to sizzle, add batter to pan (you can always a test coin-sized pancake to check whether the pan is ready) to form 4-inch size pancakes. Note: I recommend keeping the pancakes on the small side, as they will become too delicate to flip if made much larger. Since the pancake batter is light and fluffy, be sure to allow these pancakes to cook through properly before flipping on a griddle or non-stick pan. Look for small bubbles begin to form on the top of the pancake - this is the signature sign to start flipping. Carefully flip and continue to cook on other side until golden brown- adjusting heat as necessary.
• Top pancakes with butter and warm maple syrup. Serve immediately.

SOUFFLED PUMPKIN PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar begins to melt. Add the pecans and cook for 2 more minutes. Transfer the pecan mixture to a small dish and set aside. Reserve the skillet for the pancake.
• In a small bowl mix together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, sugar and salt. Set aside.
• Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. In a large bowl, add egg yolks, buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter and whisk until blended. Gradually whisk in flour mixture. Stir in the pumpkin puree.
• Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and gently fold into the pumpkin mixture. Gently spoon the batter into the reserved skillet. Sprinkle the top of the pancake mixture with the reserved pecan mixture. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
• Dust the pancake with confectioners' sugar. Cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup.
