Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk and flour until well combined. Whisk in the egg, cinnamon and vanilla. Add the baking soda and whisk to combine. Fold in the cranberries.
- Melt 2 Tbsp of the butter in a large nonstick pan over medium heat and swirl to coat the pan. Scoop out ¼ cup of the mixture and pour into one side of the pan, creating about a 4" diameter pancake. Continue until you can't fit any more pancakes in your pan.
- Cook until bubbles form on the top of the cakes and begin to pop, about 3-5 minutes. Check to see if the bottom is brown and crispy, flip.
- Cook the other side about 2-3 minutes, or until browned and crispy on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Continue to cook the pancakes until the batter is gone, adding 2 Tbsp butter to your pan between each batch.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat griddle on medium low heat. Be sure the griddle is fully heated through before adding pancake batter.
- In large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
- In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, zest, buttermilk, and melted butter. Pour wet ingredients into bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir very gently by folding liquid into dry ingredients. You want your batter to be lumpy.
- Grease hot grill with butter. Place large spoonful of batter onto grill. Top each pancake with 8-12 cranberries, then dot the top of each cranberry with a bit of batter to prevent the pancake from sticking to the grill after you flip it. Do not flip until the pancake has lots of bubbles and the bottom is a golden brown. Flip only once and do not smash down with your spatula.
- Serve with pure maple syrup. YUM!

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.
LOW-FAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES
These are from Susan Powter, but don't let the low-fat make you think these are not really tasty. I put all ingredients in a food processor, give it a good mixing, then fry in a hot skillet coated with cooking spray. I don't know why, but the first pancakes poured in the skillet always seem to be "sacrificial" (our dachsies love them). Keep the faith -- subsequent batches will be just fine. I often have a hungry pack of teens at my home on a Saturday morning -- doubling this recipe works great. Leftovers refrigerate well in a zip top bag for a quick reheat in the microwave. These also are delicious as pigs in blankets -- wrapped around cooked turkey sausage links. Cooking time noted is per batch of pancakes. Number of batches varies depending upon the size you make your pancakes.

Tips for Making the Best Lowfat Cranberry Buttermilk Pancakes
- For fluffy pancakes, make sure your buttermilk and eggs are at room temperature before you start mixing.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will brown too quickly and be raw in the middle.
- Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
