Cinnamon-Hazelnut Pancakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/4 cups hazelnuts (about 6 oz.)
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    3/4 cup whole wheat flour
    2 tablespoons sugar
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 large eggs
    3 cups buttermilk
    3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
    salad oil
Preparation
    Toast hazelnuts in a 10- by 15-inch baking pan in a 350\u00b0 regular or convection oven until golden beneath skins, 7 to 10 minutes.
    Pour onto a clean linen towel. When nuts are cool enough to handle, rub in towel to remove loose skins. Whirl hazelnuts in a food processor until finely chopped, or finely chop with a knife; you should have 1 1/4 cups.
    Reserve 1/4 cup to sprinkle over cooked pancakes.
    In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, and butter until blended. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until evenly moistened, then gently stir in remaining 1 cup hazelnuts.
    Place a nonstick griddle or a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat (350\u00b0).
    When hot, coat lightly with oil and adjust heat to maintain temperature.
    Spoon batter in 1/3-cup portions onto griddle and cook until pancakes are browned on the bottom and edges begin to look dry, about 2 minutes; turn with a wide spatula and brown other sides, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer.
    Coat pan with more oil as necessary to cook remaining pancakes.
    Serve pancakes as cooked or keep warm in a single layer on baking sheets in a 200\u00b0 oven for up to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved hazelnuts.
