Best Cranberry Buttermilk Pancakes Lowfat Recipes

CRANBERRY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat griddle on medium low heat. Be sure the griddle is fully heated through before adding pancake batter.
• In large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
• In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, zest, buttermilk, and melted butter. Pour wet ingredients into bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir very gently by folding liquid into dry ingredients. You want your batter to be lumpy.
• Grease hot grill with butter. Place large spoonful of batter onto grill. Top each pancake with 8-12 cranberries, then dot the top of each cranberry with a bit of batter to prevent the pancake from sticking to the grill after you flip it. Do not flip until the pancake has lots of bubbles and the bottom is a golden brown. Flip only once and do not smash down with your spatula.
• Serve with pure maple syrup. YUM!

CRANBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add cranberries; boil for 2 minutes. Drain and cool for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg (if using) in a large bowl.
• Whisk milk, egg substitute, oil and vanilla (if using) in a small bowl until combined.
• Coarsely chop the cranberries; stir into the milk mixture. Stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined.
• Coat a griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Using 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, cook 2 pancakes at a time until bubbles dot the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter.

CRISPY CRANBERRY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk and flour until well combined. Whisk in the egg, cinnamon and vanilla. Add the baking soda and whisk to combine. Fold in the cranberries.
• Melt 2 Tbsp of the butter in a large nonstick pan over medium heat and swirl to coat the pan. Scoop out ¼ cup of the mixture and pour into one side of the pan, creating about a 4" diameter pancake. Continue until you can't fit any more pancakes in your pan.
• Cook until bubbles form on the top of the cakes and begin to pop, about 3-5 minutes. Check to see if the bottom is brown and crispy, flip.
• Cook the other side about 2-3 minutes, or until browned and crispy on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Continue to cook the pancakes until the batter is gone, adding 2 Tbsp butter to your pan between each batch.
• Enjoy!

CRANBERRY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES (LOWFAT)

Steps:

• 1. Mash chopped cranberries with sugar and set aside. (I also finely chop up walnuts to add about 1/4 cup)
• 2. In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients. In a seperate bowl, beat egg until fluffy, then add buttermilk, honey and oil. Make a well in dry ingredients and slowly pour in buttermilk mixture. Stir just enough to combine.
• 3. Spray preheated griddle with nonstick oil. Ladle batter onto griddle. Sprinkle with cranberries and nuts if desired. Turn pancakes when half the bubbles burst, and briefly cook on the other side until golden.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH APPLE CRANBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale yellow, frothy and doubled in volume, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and blend until it becomes a smooth paste. Add in the melted butter. Use a rubber spatula to fold the beaten eggs into the batter. Hold the batter at room temperature until ready to cook.
• Heat a 14-inch skillet or griddle pan to medium-high heat. Place 1 tablespoon of the butter on the skillet and ladle out 2 ounces of the batter. When the top of the pancake starts to bubble, use a large metal spatula to flip, and then cook on the other side until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat for the remaining batter, about 6 pancakes total, adding butter to the griddle before each pancake. Stack three pancakes on each plate and serve with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, confectioners' sugar, some maple syrup and the Apple Cranberry Compote.
• In a medium saucepot set over medium heat, add the cranberries, granulated sugar, honey, salt, apples, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, stir and continue cooking until the apples start to break down and the cranberries begin to pop, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm.
