Pecan Sauce For Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• For the cranberry, orange and pecan sauce: Combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, orange zest and juice and 1/2 cup water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until some cranberries burst but some still remain whole, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool completely, remove the cinnamon stick and stir in the pecans.
• For the pancake batter: Mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, vanilla and eggs in a separate bowl. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the milk mixture into the well. Gently whisk until combined, but do not overmix, as it will make your pancakes chewy. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop 1 cup of the pecans and set the remaining 1/2 cup aside.
• Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet and coat with about 2 tablespoons butter. Add a scant 1/2 cup batter per pancake to your pan, leaving space between each. Sprinkle a handful of the chopped pecans in each. Cook until you see bubbles on the sides and in the center of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the pan to a flat surface to cool a few minutes. Cook the rest of the pancakes in butter in batches.
• Hold a pancake flat and use a paring knife to make a 1/2-inch horizontal cut in the top. Slip the knife in horizontally and move it back and forth while turning the pancake to make a pocket. Repeat with all the pancakes. Spoon some sauce inside each pocket. (See Cook's Note.) Make stacks of stuffed pancakes on a serving platter. Or, stuff a few and serve with the remaining sauce on the side. Top with the reserved pecan halves for garnish.

Steps:

• Stir butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Stir in heavy whipping cream and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chopped pecans.

Steps:

• Sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Whisk in the maple syrup, buttermilk, canola oil and vanilla. Quickly whisk in the flour mix. Fold in the pecans and the cranberries. Do not overwork the batter
• Heat a griddle or a large skillet, either nonstick or seasoned cast iron, over medium-high heat. Brush with butter or oil. Use a 1/4-cup ladle or cup measure to drop 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto your heated pan or griddle. When bubbles break through the pancakes, carefully slide a spatula under them (they are delicate), flip them over and cook for another minute, until they are brown on the other side. Serve right away, or allow to cool and wrap individual servings in plastic, then place in a freezer bag and freeze

Steps:

• Boil syrup till a small amount forms a soft ball in cold water (236°).
• Remove from heat and add butter and salt, stirring till butter is melted.
• Cool.
• Add cream and pecans, and then serve on your pancakes.

Steps:

• For the Banana-Pecan Syrup:
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the nuts and saute for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the bananas and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the syrup and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the syrup is hot and slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside in a warm place.
• For the Ricotta Pancakes:
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt together onto waxed paper or a plate. Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer or whisk until stiff but not dry. Beat the egg yolks, milk, and ricotta together in a large bowl until well blended and smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix gently with a large spoon. Stir a spoonful of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then fold in the remaining egg whites with a rubber spatula.
• Warm a serving platter in a 200 degree F oven.
• Heat a nonstick flat griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot. Grease with butter or vegetable oil. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancakes over using a large wide spatula. Cook on the other side for 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the pancakes to the warm platter.
• Serve immediately or hold in the oven while you cook the rest of the pancakes. Serve the pancakes on heated plates topped with the syrup.

Steps:

• Caramel Pecan Sauce: In a small non-stick saucepan, melt caramel pieces gently with the cream, stirring occasionally until smooth and blended.
• Add pecans and flaked coconut (and rum or brandy if desired), stir to combine with sauce, then remove from heat.
• Serve warm over pancakes.
• Can be prepared the night before, then heated in the microwave until warm.
• Ricotta Cream: Place ricotta cheese, confectioners sugar, orange juice and orange zest in a bowl.
• Beat with a whisk until well combined.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Can be prepared the night before.
• Fluffy Banana Pancakes: Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl.
• Place buttermilk in a 2-cup glass-measuring cup and add butter.
• Microwave on high for 2 minutes, until butter melts.
• Lightly beat yolks, then combine with the buttermilk and butter mixture, whisking to incorporate.
• Then add vanilla essence and caster sugar (superfine sugar) and stir until sugar is dissolved.
• Add buttermilk mixture to the flour, and whisk together until batter becomes thick and smooth.
• Batter can be prepared to this stage, the night before.
• Beat egg whites in a clean dry bowl until stiff.
• Fold whites carefully into batter until evenly mixed (and the sliced bananas can be added at this stage, too, if you wish - otherwise, see step 20).
• Heat a 6-inch diameter fry pan or skillet and brush lightly with melted butter, or spray with vegetable oil.
• For each pancake, pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter into pan, and swirl around quickly to distribute evenly over bottom of pan.
• Cook until bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then lay some banana slices over the top.
• When pancakes are lightly browned on the bottom (about two minutes), flip over and cook other side.
• When cooked through, transfer pancake to a baking tray and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest of the batter (Each pancake should take about two minutes per side).
• To serve, drizzle warm caramel pecan sauce over each pancake, and top with a generous dollop or two of ricotta cream.

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs and milk together, pour over the flour mixture, and stir until blended. Fold in the pecans.
• Heat regular or nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Grease it with butter, if needed.
• Drop large spoonfuls (about 1/3 cup) of batter into skillet or onto griddle. Use back of spoon to spread it a little. Cook each pancake for 1 or 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown, and then remove from pan. Repeat with remaining batter, and then serve with butter and syrup.
