Peach Pancakes - Recipe Video

Peach Pancakes can be made with fresh or canned fruit. I like canned peaches with fruit juice or lightly sweetened. Canned fruit can get very mushy when cooked, but Peaches hold up quite well when mixed into pancake batter and sauteed.

I like to eat the peel on my fresh fruit, which canned peaches remove. Even without the fuzzy texture, sliced peaches, fresh or from the can, have plenty of peachy flavor.

Canned Peaches and fresh ones are still cheap enough for this Budget Epicurean. Make sure to wait for fresh Peaches to ripen soft.

No special tricks to this recipe, I just add sliced Peaches to a lightly oiled heating pan and pour on pancake batter

My recipe is basic; I use premixed pancakes from the box. Nothing special really. The average mix is usually just enriched flour, sugar, dried egg, and milk. Normally, you just add water. You can use your favorite mix, or even a homemade one. If price is no object, then get organic from Whole Foods or from your fave health food market.

I do like to finish my pancake with a pat of real butter. It's up to you if you want to go that far.

Ingredients (2 servings, using a pancake mix)

• 1 cup pancake mix - any favorite
• 3/4 cup water - okay to use milk for a richer pancake batter.
• 1 peach sliced - add as many slices as you like.
• 1 tablespoon of cooking oil - to grease the skillet. Add more when needed, depending on how many pancakes you make.
• Butter and your favorite pancake syrup - add as much as you like.

Directions
Prepare pancake batter according to package directions. My pancake mix calls for 1 cup of flour and 3/4 cup of water.

Mix pancake ingredients in a bowl. When mixed, it will be like thick country gravy.

(If you are using frozen blueberries, it's okay to add them right to the batter. Defrosted or not, as they will warm up during pancake cooking.)

Add a teaspoon of oil to the pan or griddle. Heat the pan over medium heat.

Slice a fresh peach and remove the seed. For canned Peaches, just drain. Okay to slice peaches into smaller pieces. Large slices tend to separate from the pancake.

 Arrange on a hot pan or griddle. Add as many as you like, depending on the size of each pancake.

Brown pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, depending on the pan heat. When you see air pockets, then check the bottom of the pancake to see how it's browning.

The instant box of pancake directions mentions cooking time to brown each side as 1.5 minutes each....hmmm, they must be using a super hot pan! Best to just check the pancake for color as you go.

If you want a dark brown pancake presentation, then cook one side to get the right hue of brown, then cook the other side for a minute to finish. Serve browned side up on the plate.
