Ingredients
For the pancakes
- 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 2 tbsp browned unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp orange zest
For the rhubarb sauce
- 2 cups diced rhubarb
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup fresh orange juice
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- To prepare the brown butter, in a small skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Bring the melted butter to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the bubbling subsides and tiny pieces of brown solids form, about 6-8 minutes. Set off the heat to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, slightly cooled brown butter, and orange zest.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until just combined with a few lumps remaining. Set aside and prepare the rhubarb sauce.
- In a 4-quart saucepan, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, orange juice, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer until the fruit has broken down and thickened into a sauce, 14-18 minutes. Keep warm while cooking the pancakes.
- To make the pancakes, preheat a griddle over medium-low heat for 6 minutes. Once heated, melt 1 tablespoon butter.
- Using a scoop, measure ¼ cup of batter and drop on griddle. Cook until bubbles form around the edges and the bottom is lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Flip over and repeat on opposite side.
- Once cooked, remove from the griddle and place on a baking rack fitted in a baking sheet. Keep warm in a 200°F oven until all the pancakes are made.
