Golden Raisin Compote

Maple Butter

Method

Prepare the Pancake Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the kefir, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

  3. 3

Make the Golden Raisin Compote

  1. 4

    Cook Raisins

    In a small saucepan, combine the golden raisins, water, lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the raisins are plump and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Prepare Maple Butter

    Mix Maple Butter

    In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and maple syrup. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Cook the Pancakes

  1. 6

    Heat Skillet

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter.

  2. 7

    Cook Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Serve

  1. 8

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the pancakes warm with the golden raisin compote drizzled on top and a dollop of maple butter.
