Combine all ingredients (except butter and nuts) in a mixing bowl. Stir until combined.
Heat griddle or frying pan on medium heat. Drop the butter on the griddle and spread to coat the cooking surface.
Spoon about a quarter cup of pancake batter onto the griddle. Cook on each side for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.
Top with cranberries if desired. Serve with maple syrup or honey.
Notes
Watch for small air bubbles to start to appear on the surface of the persimmon pancakes and a dullness around the edge near the cooking surface. These are both signals that the pancakes are ready to be flipped.
