Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 3 Servings

20 5 25

Ingredients

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
2/3 cup cranberry juice
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
PANCAKES:
2 cups biscuit/baking mix
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 eggs
1-1/4 cups 2% milk
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
Lemon peel strips, optional

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring the cranberries, cranberry juice and brown sugar to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Cool slightly. With a slotted spoon, remove 1/4 cup cranberries and set aside.
In a blender, process the remaining cranberry mixture until smooth. Stir in the honey, lemon juice and reserved cranberries; keep warm.
In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, brown sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and lemon peel. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in cranberries.
Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with syrup and garnish servings with lemon peel strips if desired. Yield: 3 servings.

Whipped Butter for Pancakes

To make whipped butter like that served in some restaurants with pancakes, let your butter soften at room temperature, then beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Some restaurants mix in a little honey, confectioners’ sugar or orange peel for added flavor.
