Raspberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes

¼ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup plus 3 tbsp. milk
1 large egg
1 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
1 cup raspberries
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (add less if you don’t want pancakes too
sweet)
pure maple syrup, heated

In a small saucepan melt 2 tbsp. butter over moderately low heat, stirring. Stir
in milk and heat until just warm. Remove pan from heat. In a bowl whisk
together milk mixture and egg. In another bowl sift together flour, baking
powder, and salt and stir in egg mixture until just combined. Gently stir in
raspberries and chocolate chips.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat griddle over moderate heat until hot
enough to scatter a drop of water over the surface. Add 1 teaspoon butter and
with a metal spatula spread over griddle. Working in batches, drop ¼ cup of
batter onto griddle to form pancakes about 4 inches in diameter and cook until
bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Flip pancakes with spatula and cook until undersides are golden brown and
pancakes are cooked enough. Transfer pancakes as cooked to and oven proof
platter and keep warm, uncovered, in oven. Make more pancakes with
remaining butter and batter in same manner. Serve pancakes with syrup.

Raspberry Recipes
Raspberry Truffle Wedges

½ cup butter or margarine
6 squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
2/3 cup all purpose flour

GLAZE:
¼ cup butter or margarine
2 squares semisweet chocolate
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 teaspoons honey
SAUCE:
2 cups raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
Whipped cream (optional), raspberries & mint for garnish

In a double boiler, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool for 10
minutes. In a mixing bowl beat eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt until thick – about
4 minutes. Blend in chocolate mixture. Stir in flour; mix well. Pour into greased
and floured 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350o for 25-30 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire
rack.

Combine glaze ingredients in a saucepan; cook and stir over low heat until
melted and smooth. Cool slightly. Run a knife around the edges of the
springform pan to loosen; remove cake to serving plate. Spread glaze over the
top and sides; set aside. For sauce, puree the raspberries in a blender or food
processor. Press through a sieve if desired; discard seeds, stir in sugar; chill
until serving. Spoon sauce over individual servings. Garnish with whipped
cream, raspberries, and mint if desired.
