Ingredients

For the Buttermilk Pancakes:

For the Quick Pear Preserves:

  • 3 ripe pears peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Zest of one organic lemon
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

Prepare the Pancake Batter:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs with buttermilk, melted ghee, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Make the Quick Pear Preserves:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped pears, honey or agave syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are soft and the mixture thickens.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. The preserves will thicken further upon cooling.

Cook the Pancakes:

  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of ghee.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Serve:

  • Stack the pancakes on a plate. Top with a generous spoonful of the warm pear preserves.
  • Optionally, drizzle with a little more honey or agave syrup if desired.

Garnish:

  • Garnish with fresh pear slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of elegance.
