Best Polenta Pancakes With Warm Berry Sauce Recipes

LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, polenta, baking powder and salt. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, ricotta, lemon zest and eggs. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and fold together, using a rubber spatula, until just combined. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the polenta to soften.
• Preheat a rimmed griddle to medium-low heat. Add oil to coat the griddle.
• With a 1/4-cup measure, scoop batter onto the griddle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pancakes to a plate and continue with the remaining batter. Serve warm with lots of warm maple syrup.

POLENTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine cornmeal in a small saucepan with 1 1/2 cups water and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth while bringing to a boil over medium heat, then continue to stir for about 10 minutes. Turn heat off and let cool.
• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. In a bowl, mix sugar, flour, baking powder and a little salt. Beat eggs into cornmeal, then stir in milk. Add to flour mixture and stir to combine, adding milk if necessary to make a batter.
• Add about 1 tablespoon butter or oil to griddle. When hot, add batter by large spoon. Cook until lightly browned on bottom, 3 to 5 minutes, then turn and brown second side. Repeat, using more butter or oil.

PUFFED OVEN PANCAKE WITH SUMMER FRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a bowl, beat together the flour, granulated sugar, milk, and eggs until thoroughly blended. Set aside.
• In a 10 to 12-inch (25 to 30-cm) heatproof frying pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the peaches or nectarines and cook, stirring often, until the fruit is hot and slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on ripeness. Remove from the heat and scatter with the berries.
• Pour the egg mixture over the fruit in the pan and immediately put in the oven. Bake until puffed and golden, about 18 minutes.
• Remove the pancake from the oven and sift confectioners' sugar over the top. Cut into wedges to serve. If desired, offer lemon wedges on the side.
