Mexican Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• For the sauce: Whisk the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt and cloves together in a small saucepan. Whisk in the coffee, milk and vanilla and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, whisking until the sauce begins to bubble and thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the sauce into a serving bowl and keep warm.
• For the pancakes: Whisk the flour, cornstarch, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon, the salt and baking soda together in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, butter, vanilla and eggs together in another bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until ingredients are just incorporated and batter is thick (it¿s okay if there are some lumps). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon with the granulated sugar in a large shallow bowl and set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush the skillet generously with butter then drizzle 1 heaping tablespoon of the batter into the pan, moving your hand back and forth to form a 3-inch long pancake stick; repeat to make enough pancakes to just fill the skillet. Cook, until pancakes are golden on the bottom and bubbly on top, about 45 seconds. Flip the pancakes and cook until the batter is cooked through, about 30 seconds more.
• Transfer the pancakes to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toss to coat. Shake off the excess and serve immediately while hot, with the Mexican chocolate sauce on the side for drizzling or dipping. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon-sugar to make more pancakes, brushing the skillet with more butter in between batches.

Steps:

• For the pancakes: Heat a large saute pan over medium heat; add the corn and dry toast until lightly golden brown. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract and eggs. Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix. Fold in the corn kernels and melted butter. Rest the batter for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Add a few tablespoons of the clarified butter to a large cast-iron skillet or cast-iron griddle set over 2 burners, and heat over medium heat. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup and spoon a scant 1/4 cup into the hot skillet. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on both sides. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a prepared oven-proof plate and cover with a towel. Place in the oven to keep warm until all of the pancakes are cooked and ready to serve. Repeat for the remaining batter.
• For the goat cheese: Put the goat cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk and mix until smooth. Add the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla, and whip until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the bananas and walnuts: Combine the piloncillo and butter in a high-sided saute pan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar begins to melt. Add the cream and whisk until you have a uniform mixture. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt. Then add the bananas and cook until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Stir in the walnuts.
• Serve 3 pancakes per person. Top with a dollop of whipped goat cheese and spoon the caramelized banana mixture over each plate. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and top with fresh mint.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Scatter the peppers, cheese and coriander over 4 pancakes. Season well and cover each one with another pancake to make a sandwich. Place the quesadilla pancakes on baking sheets and cook for 5 mins in the oven until the cheese starts melting (you may need to do this in batches).
• Warm the butter in a saucepan, add the garlic and cook for 1 min until fragrant, then add the cumin and beans. Stir for 2 mins, then roughly mash. Season, stir through half the lemon juice, spoon into a serving dish and top with the chilli, if using. Toss the avocado in the rest of the lemon juice, then serve the quesadillas with the beans, lettuce and avocado.

Steps:

• Beat egg until fluffy.
• Add milk and melted margarine.
• Add dry ingredients and mix well.
• Heat a heavy griddle or fry pan which is greased with a little butter on a paper towel.
• The pan is hot enough when a drop of water breaks into several smaller balls which 'dance' around the pan.
• Pour a small amount of batter (approx 1/4 cup) into pan and tip to spread out or spread with spoon.
• When bubbles appear on surface and begin to break, turn over and cook the other side.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef in a large skillet.
• Drain off fat.
• Add taco seasoning, tomato sauce and water.
• Simmer until flavors are blended and sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Set aside.
• For pancakes, mix together mix, milk, eggs and cornmeal.
• Preheat griddle to 400°F Using 1/3 cup batter for EACH pancake, grill until golden brown.
• Stack pancakes between wax paper.
• Keep warm in 200F oven.
• Continue until batter is gone.
• Spread 1/2 cup filling on half of the pancakes.
• Top each with a second pancake.
• Spread with more filling.
• Sprinkle cheese and other desired toppings on top.

Steps:

• If using masa harina, combine in a medium bowl with ½ cup hot water and, using a rubber bowl scraper, stir and mash together until no dry spots remain. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap and let cool, about 30 minutes.
• If using fresh masa, crumble into a medium bowl.
• Melt 5 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour in buttermilk and remove from heat. Set aside.
• Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl to combine.
• Add eggs and sugar to masa and whisk until only a few lumps remain. Add half of buttermilk mixture and whisk until homogeneous. Add remaining buttermilk and whisk again to combine. Add to bowl with dry ingredients and mix until no dry streaks remain.
• Heat a large griddle or 2 cast-iron or nonstick skillets over medium; brush with butter. Working in batches, scoop ¼-cupfuls of batter onto griddle and cook until bubbles form on the surface and undersides are golden brown, about 3 minutes. If undersides are browning too quickly, reduce heat to low. Flip pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other sides, about 2 minutes. Transfer pancakes to individual plates or a platter. Serve with butter and maple syrup. Do ahead: Masa harina dough can be made 3 day ahead. Once cool enough to handle, wrap tightly in plastic and chill.

Steps:

• Mix 200g self-raising flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp golden caster sugar and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl.
• Create a well in the centre with the back of your spoon then add 3 large eggs, 25g melted butter and 200ml milk.
• Whisk together either with a balloon whisk or electric hand beaters until smooth then pour into a jug.
• Heat a small knob of butter and 1 tsp of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter looks frothy, pour in rounds of the batter, approximately 8cm wide. Make sure you don't put the pancakes too close together as they will spread during cooking. Cook the pancakes on one side for about 1-2 mins or until lots of tiny bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface. Flip the pancakes over and cook for a further minute on the other side. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
• Serve your pancakes stacked up on a plate with a drizzle of maple syrup and any of your favourite toppings.
