Masa Pancakes With Spiced Butter Recipes

SPICED MAPLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Whisk milk, egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a separate bowl. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just blended.
• Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil on a griddle over medium heat; pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form on top of pancakes, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until second side is golden brown, 3 to 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

MASA PANCAKES WITH SPICED BUTTER

Steps:

• Make the spiced butter: In a small bowl, using a fork, blend together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, chile powder, salt and nutmeg.
• Make the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, masa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and oil. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture just until combined.
• Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Brush the skillet with oil. Scoop three 1/3-cup mounds of the batter into the skillet, spreading them slightly. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until they are golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and put it in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet if needed.
• Serve the pancakes with the spiced butter and warm maple syrup.

SPICE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients.
• Lightly coat a large skillet with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Flip the pancakes when they start to bubble.
• This makes a large batch that freezes and reheats well and they smell wonderful!

MASA CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until blended.
• Let mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the masa, then stir again.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Pour 1/2 cup batter into the skillet. When the pancakes appear dry around the edges and start to bubble up, flip and cook until done, about two minutes.
• Keep pancakes in a warm oven until ready to serve.

MASA HARINA PANCAKES

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.

BASIC MASA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Beat the remaining ingredients together in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and mix until all the ingredients are moistened.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium flame. Add about 1/2 cup of batter at a time to the pan. Brown the pancakes on one side, then flip and brown on the second side.
• Remove the finished pancakes to a warm oven to hold while you continue with the rest of the batter. Serve with butter and Mexican-style sour cream.

CHICKEN AND CHICKPEA CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until rendered but not crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, celery, poblano, garlic and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and just start to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and coriander and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, transfer the tomatoes and their juices to a medium bowl. Using your hands, gently crushed the tomatoes into chunks. Add the tomatoes, stock and chipotles to the pan and bring to a simmer.
• Remove and discard the skin and bones from the chicken. Coarsely chop or shred the meat. Stir the chicken and chickpeas into the pan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring gently, until the chicken and chickpeas are heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Season the chili with salt and pepper. Serve hot, topped with the cheese.

PORK PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until shimmering. Add half of the pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned but not cooked through, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork.
• Spoon off the fat from the skillet or Dutch oven, then melt the butter in the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Add the onion, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in both paprikas and the cayenne, then stir in the flour and cook until fragrant and the mixture starts to stick to the bottom, about 1 minute.
• Gradually stir or whisk in the broth and tomatoes until incorporated. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, add the noodles or pappardelle to the boiling water and cook as the label directs; drain.
• Nestle the pork in the sauce and cook, stirring gently, until the pork is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the 1/4 cup of sour cream. Serve over the cooked noodles or pappardelle, topped with sour cream and dill sprigs.
