Seared Peach Pancakes

Seared Peach Pancakes

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

4 medium peaches, nectarines, or apples

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

2 tsp. baking soda

3 eggs

1-3/4 cups milk

2 Tbsp. butter, melted

1 Tbsp. malt vinegar

Butter

Maple syrup

Directions

1. Slice fruit crosswise about 1/4 inch thick, cutting around pit to form rings. For apples, core and slice crosswise; set aside. In a bowl combine flour, sugar, and baking soda. Make well in center of flour mixture; set aside.

2. In another bowl whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vinegar. Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir until moistened.

3. Add about 1 teaspoon of butter to a hot, large nonstick skillet or griddle.

Place a peach slice on hot skillet. Pour or spread a scant 1/4 cup batter over peach slice. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes on each side until pancakes are golden brown, turning when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry. Repeat with remaining batter and peach slices; add butter to skillet as needed. Serve warm with maple syrup.

Test Kitchen Tip: To slice peaches or nectarines into rings, slice the fruit crosswise around the pit, and then peel off the ring. If you use apples, core the fruit first, and then slice into rings.
