Pan-Sized Lemon-Blackberry Pancakes With Citrus Syrup
Description
These American-style breakfast pancakes are light and airy, thanks to whipped egg whites, and bursting with the tart-sweet flavor of fresh or frozen blackberries. The batter is infused with lemon zest and juice for a bright citrus note. Serve them immediately with a warm, homemade citrus syrup made from sugar, lemon juice, and zest.Directions
-
Combine milk and lemon juice in a small nonreactive bowl and let stand for 10 minutes to create buttermilk.
-
Meanwhile, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a large nonreactive bowl.
-
After the 10 minutes, whisk egg yolks into the milk mixture.
-
Add the liquid mixture all at once to the flour mixture and stir along with the melted butter until just incorporated. Do not overmix; small lumps will remain.
-
In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until stiff but not dry.
-
Fold half of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining half.
-
Gently fold in the blackberries.
-
Preheat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. When water drops splatter, the pan is ready.
-
Ladle about 1 cup of batter into the pan, ensuring an even distribution of berries. The pancake should be pan-sized.
-
Turn the pancake when puffed, golden brown, and multiple bubbles have appeared. Be sure it has set before turning, as larger pancakes take longer to cook through in the center.
-
Cook on the other side until golden and cooked through in the center.
-
For the Citrus Syrup: Heat water and sugar in a heavy-bottomed nonreactive saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
-
When completely dissolved, increase heat to high. When the syrup comes to a boil, cover the pan and start timing immediately.
-
Boil the syrup for about 3 minutes.
-
Uncover and add lemon juice and zest.
-
Continue boiling, uncovered, for about 3 minutes longer or until syrupy.
-
If syrup is too thick when reheating, thin with a little water. If too thin, boil 1 to 2 minutes to reduce.
-
Serve pancakes immediately with a drizzle of warmed Citrus Syrup.
