ORANGE-CARDAMOM PANCAKES

It's no wonder pancakes are a weekend staple: Their batter comes together in just 5 minutes using ingredients you're likely to have on hand. Here, ground cardamom and fresh orange zest provide an aromatic boost that is sweet and addictive, but subtle enough that you can still pair your pancakes with any typical accompaniments. The recipe is plentiful enough for 12 full-size pancakes, or twice the number of mini pancakes if preparing brunch for a crowd. (As a bonus, the pancake base also doubles as a waffle batter.) A drizzle of maple syrup and a pat of butter are mandatory; a dollop of warmed orange marmalade or chopped Medjool dates would be rousing.

Time 20m

Yield 12 pancakes (4 to 6 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
3 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for greasing and serving
Maple syrup, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, orange extract, orange zest and 3 tablespoons melted butter until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix to combine using a large spoon or rubber spatula. Using a whisk or a handheld electric mixer on high speed, beat the batter until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium. Add butter for greasing, tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Working in batches, cook the pancakes, using about 1/3 cup batter for each. Cook each batch of pancakes until bubbly on top and golden-brown underneath, 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and cook until golden-brown on the second side, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the temperature and adding more butter as necessary.
  • Transfer pancakes to serving plates. Drizzle with maple syrup and top with butter, as desired.

CARDAMOM-SCENTED OATMEAL PANCAKES WITH APRICOTS AND ALMONDS



Cardamom-Scented Oatmeal Pancakes With Apricots and Almonds image

Oatmeal, always underrated, is the foundation of this pancake. But the ingredient that really makes this recipe shine is the cardamom, a spice that has been treasured in Europe for centuries and has been subtly employed since then in pastries throughout the northern part of the continent. These pancakes are incredibly tender, with a little chew from the grain and the dried fruit, but beyond that they're exotic. Here are flavors and textures that ordinary pancakes could never approach.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup chopped almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 cups cooked oatmeal
1/3 cup chopped dried apricots
Vegetable or olive oil, for frying
Honey, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Combine the flours, oats, almonds, baking powder, cardamom and salt in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk; stir in the cooked oatmeal and the apricots until just incorporated. Add the oatmeal mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently; don't overmix. The consistency should be that of thick pancake batter; add a little more milk or whole-wheat flour as needed.
  • Put a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. When a few drops of water dance on its surface, add a thin film of vegetable oil and let it become hot. Spoon out the batter, making any size pancakes you like. Cook until bubbles form on the top and pop, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook until they're browned on the other side, a couple of minutes more. You may have to rotate the cakes to cook them evenly, depending on the heat source and pan. As they finish, transfer them to a plate in the oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve with honey.
