How to Make Apricot Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar (if using).
  2. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk and lemon juice; let stand for 2 minutes.
  3. In a third bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
  4. Add the egg mixture, molasses, and vanilla extract to the buttermilk mixture; whisk to combine.
  5. Add the chopped apricots and walnuts to the dry ingredients; toss to coat evenly.
  6. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  8. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  9. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
  10. If the batter becomes too thick, thin it with a tablespoon or two of milk as needed.
  11. Serve immediately with butter and syrup, or top with softened cream cheese.
  12. Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or toaster oven. Do not use a regular toaster due to the fruit content. Leftovers can also be enjoyed cold.
