Walnut Griddle Cakes with Orange Butter Recipe

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
  • 2 teaspoons orange juice
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 2 1/4 cups low-fat milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • Nonstick vegetable oil spray
  • Warm maple syrup
  1. Mix all ingredients in small bowl; set aside.
  2. Sift first 5 ingredients into medium bowl. Whisk 2 cups milk, egg, egg white and butter in large bowl to blend. Whisk in dry ingredients. Thin with remaining 1/4 cup milk if too thick. Mix in walnuts.
  3. Preheat oven to 200°F. Spray non-stick griddle or skillet with oil spray. Heat over medium heat. Working in batches, pour batter onto griddle by scant 1/4 cupfuls. Cook until bubbles appear and bottoms of griddle cakes are golden, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet. Keep warm in oven. Serve with orange butter and maple syrup.
