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 Topped Lemon Muffins
    
From Bon Appetit July 2006

1 ¼ cups sugar, divided
4 tsp. finely grated lemon peel
2 cups all purpose flour
2 ½ tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 ½ half pint containers fresh raspberries
¼ cup whipping cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 14 standard muffin cups with paper liners. Mash ¼ cup sugar and lemon peel in a
small bowl until sugar is slightly moist. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Using electric
mixer, beat remaining 1 cup sugar and butter in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg. Beat in buttermilk, then
vanilla and half of lemon sugar. Beat in flour mixture.
 Divide batter among muffin cups. Top each muffin with 4 raspberries. Bake muffins until lightly browned on top and
tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Brush tops of muffins lightly with cream; sprinkle with
remaining lemon sugar and cool.

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.
