Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 6 Eggland's Best Eggs (large)
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3/4 teaspoon maple extract
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped smoked almonds
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

- Orange slices & fresh rosemary sprigs to garnish
Preparation
In a medium saucepan over medium heat combine the zest, orange juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup blueberries, chopped rosemary & cinnamon sticks.
Bring to a simmer, & cook for 15 minutes or until blueberries are broken down.
Let cool for 10 minutes, then strain through a metal fine mesh sieve or double thickness of cheesecloth, discarding solids.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the eggs & milk.
Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, almond extract & salt until combined.
Place a 9 inch non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon butter.
Once butter is hot, add about 1/3 cup of batter. Swirl pan to coat the bottom.
Once bubbles form & pancake appears lightly golden around the edges, flip & cook until lightly golden on the other side.
Repeat with remaining butter & pancake batter. You should have 12 pancakes.
Spread pancakes out over a large sheet of parchment & cool for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, maple syrup & maple extract.
Spread yogurt thinly over 11 of the pancakes.
Place one pancake on a cake stand, yogurt side up. Sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of the almonds & about 2 tablespoons of fresh blueberries.
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon syrup.
Stack with remaining yogurt covered pancakes, topping each in the same manner as the bottom layer.
Top with remaining pancake.
In a medium bowl beat the heavy cream & 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom until soft peaks form.
Fold in the marmalade until combined.
Dollop cream in the center over top of the stack. Garnish with orange slices & fresh rosemary sprigs.
