Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings (Three 4-inch pancakes per serving)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup dried cranberries
3 oranges
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 3/4 teaspoons Truvia™ natural sweetener spoonable*
1/4 cup loosely packed mint leaves, torn
*May substitute with 5 packets Truvia™ natural sweetener

Steps:

  • 1. Put the cranberries in a small microwave safe bowl. Squeeze 1/4 cup juice from 1 orange into the bowl. Microwave until plump on HIGH, about 45 seconds. Set aside to cool. Grate 1/2 teaspoon of zest from one of the oranges, set aside. Trim the skins and pith from both oranges with a sharp knife; and working over a bowl to catch all their juices, cut oranges into segments.
  • 2. In a medium bowl whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, canola oil, 3 teaspoons Truvia™ natural sweetener and orange zest until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Fold in the plumped cranberries and any juice.
  • 3. Heat a heavy non-stick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water skitters around the pan. Drop 1/4 cups of batter for each pancake into the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the top of each pancake and the bottoms brown, 4 minutes. Flip and cook (adjusting the heat if needed) until other sides is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Keep pancakes warm.
  • 4. Pour the juice from the orange segments and remaining 3/4 teaspoon Truvia™ natural sweetener into the hot skillet and bring to simmer. Swirl in butter. Add the orange segments and gently toss to coat until glazed, 1 minute. Stir in mint. Top pancakes with the glazed oranges. Serve.
  • Note: Pancakes can be made the day before and refrigerated in a resealable plastic bag. Reheat on a baking sheet in a 400 degrees F oven until hot and crisp, about 10 minutes.
