How to Make Orange Fig Syrup Drizzled Over Blackberry Buttermilk Pancakes

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 4 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 cup buttermilk.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh blackberries.
  5. Lightly grease a griddle or large skillet and heat over medium heat. Test by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; if they sizzle and dance, the griddle is ready.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.
  8. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while you finish the rest.
  9. For the orange fig syrup: Combine 1 cup chopped fresh figs, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp orange zest, and a pinch of ground cinnamon in a small saucepan.
  10. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened slightly.
  11. Drizzle the warm orange fig syrup generously over the pancakes and serve immediately.
