SILVER DOLLAR PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter, and egg. Add flour mixture to milk mixture and whisk until just moistened (batter should have some lumps).
• Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium. With a paper towel coated in butter, lightly grease skillet. Working in batches, drop batter by tablespoonfuls into skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on top and a few have burst, 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on underside, 1 minute. Repeat with more butter and remaining batter, wiping skillet clean between batches. Serve with desired toppings.

WALNUT AND WHEAT GERM SILVER-DOLLAR PANCAKES

Steps:

• To make the pancakes:
• In a blender blend the flour, the baking soda, the salt, the sugar, the wheat germ, the egg, and the buttermilk for 15 seconds and scrape down the sides. Add the walnuts and blend the batter until the walnuts are just chopped fine. The batter may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Heat a griddle over moderate heat until it is hot enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface and brush it with some of the oil. Working in batches, pour the batter onto the griddle in 2-inch mounds, cook the pancakes for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden, and transfer them as they are cooked to a heatproof platter, keeping them warm in a preheated 200°F. oven. Serve the pancakes with the blackberry syrup and the butter and garnish them with the blackberries.
• To make the blackberry syrup:
• In a saucepan combine the blackberries and 1 cup water, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the berries, covered, for 10 minutes. Purée the mixture in a blender in batches and force it through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids. In the pan, cleaned, combine the sugar, the zest, and 2 cups water, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and boil it, uncovered, until it registers 220°F. on a candy thermometer. Remove the zest with a slotted spoon, discarding it, add the blackberry purée, and boil the syrup until it registers 210°F. Let the syrup cool, skimming off any froth, and serve it warm or at room temperature. The syrup keeps, covered and chilled, for 6 weeks. Makes about 2 cups.

WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK SILVER DOLLAR PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and nutmeg if using.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla, beating until well-blended.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk just until incorporated.
• Heat a non-stick griddle to 350 degrees, or place a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a little butter, if desired, and scoop scant tablespoonfuls over the hot griddle/pan. Cook until the pancakes begin to look a little dry around the edges and start to form bubbles, about 1 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute until golden brown on both sides.
• Serve with butter and maple syrup.
