Sunset. From the chefs at Coastal Kitchen in Seattle. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups hazelnuts (about 6 oz.) |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup whole wheat flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 large eggs |
3 cups buttermilk |
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, melted |
salad oil |
Directions:
1. Toast hazelnuts in a 10- by 15-inch baking pan in a 350° regular or convection oven until golden beneath skins, 7 to 10 minutes.
2. Pour onto a clean linen towel. When nuts are cool enough to handle, rub in towel to remove loose skins. Whirl hazelnuts in a food processor until finely chopped, or finely chop with a knife; you should have 1 1/4 cups.
3. Reserve 1/4 cup to sprinkle over cooked pancakes.
4. In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, and butter until blended. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until evenly moistened, then gently stir in remaining 1 cup hazelnuts.
6. Place a nonstick griddle or a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat (350°).
7. When hot, coat lightly with oil and adjust heat to maintain temperature.
8. Spoon batter in 1/3-cup portions onto griddle and cook until pancakes are browned on the bottom and edges begin to look dry, about 2 minutes; turn with a wide spatula and brown other sides, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer.
9. Coat pan with more oil as necessary to cook remaining pancakes.
10. Serve pancakes as cooked or keep warm in a single layer on baking sheets in a 200° oven for up to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved hazelnuts.
