I love buttermilk pancakes with fresh fruit and delicious syrups. Truly, it doesn’t get any better than this. These wonderful, light, tender pancakes are studded with tart blackberries and smothered in my delicious orange fig syrup. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups white flour |
1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 jumbo egg, slightly beaten |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, pure |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 3/4 cups buttermilk |
1 cup blackberry, fresh (you may substitute fresh raspberries) |
1 cup orange juice, fresh squeezed |
1/4 cup orange fig jam (dalmatia, may use orange or marmalade) |
2 tablespoons liquid honey |
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar |
2 teaspoons salted butter |
2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Sift the dry ingredients into a medium bowl.
2. Mix the egg, vanilla, oil, and buttermilk together, then add to the dry ingredients.
3. Gently stir until the dry ingredients have been incorporated.
4. Next gently, add the blackberries or raspberries, whichever you are using into the batter.
5. Preheat the lightly, greased skillet, on medium heat.
6. Test the pan by adding a few drops of water, when the drops dance the skillet is ready.
7. To make the pancakes pour a 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot, lightly, greased griddle.
8. Cook the batter until bubbles form and the batter looks cooked.
9. Then turn over with a spatula and cook until the undersides are a beautiful golden brown. (3 - 4 minutes)
10. Make sure to keep the pancakes warm in a low oven, until you are ready to serve.
11. For the simple orange fig syrup, place all of the ingredients in a small pot.
12. Cook on low heat until the mixture has thickened and is bubbling, about 3 – 5 minutes.
13. Pour the delicious syrup over your pancakes and prepare for a taste experience.
