Cornmeal Pancakes And Sausage Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• To make the pancake batter, place the cornmeal and polenta in a large bowl and slowly pour in the boiling water, whisking to mix it in as you go. Set aside to soften the grains while preparing the remaining ingredients.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and stir together with a fork. Combine the milk and egg in another small bowl and whisk to mix.
• Add the milk mixture and melted butter to the cornmeal mixture and whisk to mix. Whisk in the flour mixture to make a thick, coarse batter. Crumble the sausage and stir it into the batter.
• Preheat the oven to 250°F. Generously grease a heavy, 8- to 9-inch skillet with the butter and warm it over medium-high heat. Ladle about 1/2 cup of the batter into the skillet and cook until golden on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the cake with a spatula and continue cooking until golden on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Continue until all the batter is used.
• Place a pancake or two on individual plates and drizzle maple syrup across the top. Serve.

Steps:

• Cut sausage links into 1/2-inch pieces. In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, cook sausage pieces over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Add syrup; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Keep warm while making pancakes.
• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, cheese, cornmeal, milk and eggs with wire whisk or fork until blended.
• Brush griddle or skillet with vegetable oil or spray with cooking spray; heat griddle to 375°F or heat skillet over medium heat.
• For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook other sides until golden brown. Serve with syrup.

Steps:

• Mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl.
• Beat the egg with the melted butter and milk. Stir into the dry ingredients. The batter should not be perfectly smooth.
• Heat a griddle or skillet, and brush with butter. Drop a generous tablespoonful of the batter into the pan, cook over medium heat until lightly browned, turn and brown the other side. If this first pancake turns out well, put it on a warm serving platter. But often, the first pancake serves to season the pan and does not brown evenly. It is best discarded before getting on with cooking the rest. Brush more butter on the griddle or skillet as needed.
• Serve the pancakes with butter and maple syrup.
