Buttermilk Pancakes with Apple Cranberry Compote image

Provided by Amanda Freitag

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 eggs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
11 tablespoons cold butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Maple syrup, for serving
Apple Cranberry Compote, recipe follows, for serving
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 Gala apples, skin on, cored and diced
1 stick cinnamon
1 lemon, juiced and zested

Steps:

  • Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale yellow, frothy and doubled in volume, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and blend until it becomes a smooth paste. Add in the melted butter. Use a rubber spatula to fold the beaten eggs into the batter. Hold the batter at room temperature until ready to cook.
  • Heat a 14-inch skillet or griddle pan to medium-high heat. Place 1 tablespoon of the butter on the skillet and ladle out 2 ounces of the batter. When the top of the pancake starts to bubble, use a large metal spatula to flip, and then cook on the other side until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat for the remaining batter, about 6 pancakes total, adding butter to the griddle before each pancake. Stack three pancakes on each plate and serve with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, confectioners' sugar, some maple syrup and the Apple Cranberry Compote.
  • In a medium saucepot set over medium heat, add the cranberries, granulated sugar, honey, salt, apples, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, stir and continue cooking until the apples start to break down and the cranberries begin to pop, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm.

MEXICAN RICOTTA CHEESECAKES WITH APPLE AND CRANBERRY COMPOTE



Mexican Ricotta Cheesecakes with Apple and Cranberry Compote image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     dessert

Time 4h5m

Yield 12 cheesecakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 ounces (9 whole crackers) cinnamon-sugar graham crackers
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk (from a 14-ounce can)
1 cup fresh requeson or ricotta cheese
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest (from 1 small orange)
Apple Cranberry Compote, recipe follows
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place an oven-proof container with 2 cups water in the lower rack of the oven (this will create steam and help to prevent the cheesecakes from cracking).
  • Put the graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and process to crumbs (about 2 cups). Add the butter and process until well combined.
  • Divide the crumbs among the 12 muffin cups, patting them tightly with your fingers. Put the pan on a baking sheet and bake the crust until golden, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 10 minutes.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and condensed milk until smooth and pale, and then beat in the requeson and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the orange zest and mix until just combined. Pour the custard into the cooled crusts.
  • Bake until the cheesecakes are puffed and golden and a tester inserted 1 inch from the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool on a rack at room temperature for 35 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Carefully unmold each cheesecake and place on a platter. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Top each cheesecake with Apple Cranberry Compote, if desired, before serving.
  • In a small heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook until thickened, about 4 minutes. Add the apples, cranberries and cinnamon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the cranberries are plump, about 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't peel the apples: The skins add color and flavor to the compote.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen or dried cranberries.
  • Simmer the compote until it thickens: This will take about 15-20 minutes. Don't overcook the compote, or it will become too thick and jammy.
  • Serve the compote warm or cold: Cranberry apple compote is delicious served warm over pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal. It can also be served cold as a side dish or dessert.

Conclusion:

Cranberry apple compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover cranberries and apples, and it's also a healthy and delicious snack. With its tart and sweet flavor, cranberry apple compote is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
