This recipe is an adaptation from Kelly's Blueberry Pancake recipe on her site Eat Make Read. It is a fabulous idea, adding honey, cinnamon, and vanilla to pancake batter. When I read the post, I saved the page to use this weekend. I halved the recipe to suit two people and I used cherries because that's what I had on hand, now calling these Sunday Cherry Pancakes because pitting cherries one by one takes time. Pay close attention to step 4, which I added, because it makes a big difference with pancakes!
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup pitted and halved cherries
- butter or non-stick spray for skillet
- confectioner's sugar (optional)
1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium sized bowl.
2. Combine milk, eggs, butter, honey, and vanilla in a separate small bowl.
3. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold until just combined. Allow for clumps.
4. Let the batter sit for roughly 10 minutes. (You can pit the cherries at this time if you want. I did.) You will see bubbles forming in the batter. This is good!
5. Heat a skillet with non-stick spray or butter (I tried both and both work well.) on medium heat. Pour batter, attempting to form circles, in any size you like. Add cherries on top of the batter. When you see the batter bubbling, flip it over. Let it heat through for another minute. Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining batter.
6. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
They were indeed perfect, fluffy and lightly sweetened. It needs nothing else, even for a maple syrup lover like Lon. Thanks Kelly!

sundays are made for pancake-eating. these look fabulous, but i would definitely require some maple syrup. what can i say, i'm a creature of habit, and pancakes belong with maple syrup. :) |

that's funny: I made pancakes with cherries a few weeks ago. But I used a boxed pancake mix. Still, they were deliciuos! |
