Mama Callies Maple Syrup Recipes

STRAWBERRY PANCAKES WITH MAMMA CALLIE'S SYRUP

Steps:

• Make the syrup: Add 3/4 cup water, the brown sugar and salt to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir until the sugar dissolves. Let simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool before serving.
• Make the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk, eggs and cooled melted butter to a second bowl and whisk to combine.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet mixture. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not over mix or you'll end up with tough and chewy pancakes!
• Heat a large electric griddle or nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add a few drops of vegetable oil and a pat of butter. Once the butter melts, wipe the skillet with a paper towel. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Place a small handful of sliced strawberries on top of the pancakes. Cook until the bubbles begin to burst on the surface, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook until the second side is a nice golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter; put the finished pancakes on a sheet tray and keep warm in the oven as you finish.
• Arrange the pancakes on individual plates and serve with the syrup.

SMOKY SWEET POTATO CAKES WITH MAMA CALLIE'S MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Grate the sweet potatoes into a medium mixing bowl. Add the grated onion, green onions, flour, beaten eggs, paprika, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large, deep cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1/4 cup of the sweet-potato mixture into the hot oil, lightly flattening into 1/2-inch-thick pancakes with a spatula. Fry until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a paper-towel-lined sheet tray to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
• Combine the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and syrupy.
• Don't grate the sweet potatoes until just before you're ready to mix and cook; otherwise, they might turn brown and ruin your beautiful cakes! If you've gotten ahead of yourself, or are serving your brunch buffet-style, hold the cakes warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve.
