MASA HARINA PANCAKES

These pancakes have a nice light corn flavour similar to a sweet cornbread. The amount of sugar should be reduced if you like lots of syrup, as these are sweet enough to nibble on their own. The recipe is scaled to be a light breakfast for two or part of a spread.

Time 20m

Yield 4 Pancakes, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup masa harina
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

  • Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Heat skillet or frying pan on medium with a little oil or butter.
  • Mix wet ingredients in a small bowl. Combine with dry ingredients until smooth (masa harina will not be lumpy as wheat flour would be).
  • When the pan or skillet is hot, pour batter using a ladle or 1/4 cup dry measuring cup. Let each side cook until nicely browned and firm, about two minutes each side.
  • If you cook one pancake at a time, the batter will firm up slightly in the bowl. This is fine, and it will not effect the texture of the pancakes. Serve the pancakes hot with butter and syrup or fresh fruit, or nibble them plain when warm.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH MASA HARINA

"These are the best pancakes you will ever have," Alex Stupak says. They're light, fluffy and full of corn flavor from the masa harina (corn flour). The recipe is from his wife, Lauren Resler, the pastry chef at the Empellón restaurants.

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup masa harina (see Note)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for brushing
Butter and pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the masa, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk and melted butter, then whisk into the dry ingredients just until incorporated; add a tablespoon of buttermilk if the batter is very thick.
  • Preheat a griddle and brush lightly with oil. Scoop 1/3-cup-size mounds of batter onto the griddle, allowing them to spread on their own. Cook over moderate heat until bubbles appear on the surface, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the pancakes until they are risen and golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to plates and serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
