Yield 18 to 20 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the rosemary syrup:
1 cup maple syrup
3 rosemary sprigs
For the pancakes:
2 cups spelt flour (or all-purpose flour)
1/3 cup poppy seeds
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange zest, plus 1/3 cup orange juice (from 1 large orange)
Unsalted butter, at room temperature, for pan and serving

Steps:

  • For the rosemary syrup:
  • In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and keep covered until you're finished cooking the pancakes. When ready to serve, discard the rosemary and transfer rosemary syrup to a serving vessel.
  • For the pancakes:
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. (Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.)
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle to medium and brush it with a bit of butter. Using a 1/4-cup scoop, drop batter onto skillet to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the bottom, about 30 seconds more. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing pan with butter as needed.
  • Serve pancakes topped with butter and drizzle with the rosemary syrup.

Yield Makes about 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 (4- by 1-inch) strips fresh orange zest
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
6 small clusters fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Boil all ingredients together in a 1-quart heavy saucepan until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Cool to warm or room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: Use navel oranges for a sweeter syrup, and blood oranges for a more tart and complex flavor.
  • Use fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary is essential for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
  • Don't boil the syrup: Boiling the syrup will cause it to lose its delicate flavor. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and then reduce the heat to low.
  • Let the syrup cool completely before using: This will allow the flavors to meld and the syrup to thicken slightly.
  • Store the syrup in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks: You can also freeze the syrup for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Rosemary orange syrup is a versatile and delicious syrup that can be used in a variety of drinks and desserts. It's perfect for adding a touch of sweetness and sophistication to your favorite cocktails, sodas, and teas. You can also use it to drizzle over pancakes, yogurt, or ice cream, or to make a marinade for chicken or fish.
