Buttermilk-Pear Pancakes

By ccavaletti

Ingredients

• Fresh Pear-Cinnamon Topping:
• 2 cups reduced-fat, all-purpose baking mix
• 2 cups nonfat buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 4 pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tablespoon butter

Preparation

Step 1

Toss pears with fresh lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; sauté pear mixture, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Whisk together baking mix, buttermilk, and egg in a bowl. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or large nonstick skillet. Cook pancakes 3 to 4 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry and cooked; turn and cook other side.

Spoon on Fresh Pear-Cinnamon Topping, and serve immediately.
