Perfect Ricotta Pancakes With Caramelised Apple Recipes

Steps:

• Combine diced apples and water in a microwave-safe dish for the sauce. Cover and microwave on high power for 3 minutes. Stir, replace cover, and microwave on high until apples are fork-tender, about 2 more minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Combine brown sugar, cream, butter, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. Mixture should be bubbly all over the surface. Mix in vanilla extract and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cooked, drained apples.
• Preheat an electric griddle to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease.
• Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
• Combine eggs and milk in a separate container, stirring briskly until eggs are well incorporated. Drizzle in melted butter while stirring. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until most of the lumps are gone.
• Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour batter in batches onto the preheated griddle, forming 6-inch pancakes.
• Cook until bubbles form on top of the pancakes and the surface begins to look a little dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Brown to desired doneness on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes. Keep first batch warm in a 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) oven, while the remaining pancakes cook.
• Serve a stack of 3 pancakes with caramelized apple sauce, and garnish with chopped, toasted walnuts.

Steps:

• Beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla until light and foamy, about 3 minute at high speed of a mixer (I do this step in blender and mix the rest in bowl with a large whisk).
• Stir in butter or oil.
• Whisk the dry ingredients together and gently, but quickly, mix into the egg and milk mixture.
• Let the batter relax while griddle is heating (or overnight in refrigerator) The batter will thicken upon resting.
• Grease and preheat griddle.
• The griddle is ready if a drop of water will skitter across the surface, evaporating immediately.
• Drop ¼ cupfuls of batter on the lightly greased griddle.
• Cook on one side until bubbles begin to form and break (this is the time to add anything like berries, chocolate chips, etc), then turn the pancakes and cook the other side until brown (turning only once).
