Wild Rice Griddle Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients.
• Add the baking powder and flour, stir well.
• Add eggs and stir.
• Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add oil.
• Drop mounds of batter into pan and flatten slightly to make cakes about 3-inches across.
• Cook until browned on bottom and crispy.
• Turn cakes and cook until browned on the other side (about 3 minutes).
• Set aside and keep warm.
• Continue frying until all the batter is used.
• Add more oil as necessary.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a fine sieve rinse rice under cold running water and drain. In a small heavy saucepan bring 2 cups water to a boil and stir in rice. Simmer rice, uncovered, until just tender but grains are not open, about 40 minutes. Drain rice in sieve and rinse under cold running water. Drain rice well and transfer to a bowl. Rice may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring rice to room temperature before proceeding.
• Lightly beat egg and stir into rice with chives and salt and pepper to taste.
• In a large non-stick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Drop heaping teaspoons rice mixture into skillet without crowding and cook, flattening griddlecakes slightly with a spatula (griddlecakes should be about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter), until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer griddlecakes as cooked to paper towels to drain and season with salt and pepper. Make more griddlecakes in same manner with remaining rice mixture and oil.
• Cool griddlecakes slightly and top with sour cream and caviar. Garnish griddlecakes with chives.

Steps:

• Boil the rice and drain thoroughly.
• Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together.
• Rub the butter into the flour and add the rice.
• Beat the egg and add with enough milk to make a soft dough that will drop off a spoon.
• Drop a tablespoonful of the mixture at a time on to a hot greased griddle.
