FRESH CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together the fine and stone-ground cornmeals, the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 tablespoon salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and Sriracha. Stir in the corn, chives, and jalapeno pepper and mix into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until moistened. Don't overmix!
• Heat 1 tablespoon of clarified butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat until it sizzles. Drop 1/4-cup measures of batter into the pan without crowding them. Press each pancake very lightly with a small metal spatula. Cook for 2 minutes, turn, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until both sides are browned and the center of the pancake is firm. Place the pancakes on the prepared sheet pans and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the batter. Continue making the pancakes, adding more clarified butter to the pan, as needed. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm with a sprinkling of minced chives.

PANCAKES FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Mix flour and baking powder together in a small bowl. Mix milk, egg, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil together in a large bowl. Stir flour mixture into milk mixture until batter is smooth. Set aside to allow batter to thicken, about 1 minute.
• Heat about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, add blueberries, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining oil and batter.

• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

PANCAKES WITH FRESHLY GROUND FLOUR

Steps:

• Grind wheat berries to fine flour. I use a Vitamix blender for 1 minute on high.
• Mix all dry ingredients.
• Mix all wet ingredients seperately.
• Combine wet and dry with a fork or whisk just till moistened. Do not over mix. Let it sit 5-10 minutes if possible.
• Cook on 300 degree griddle til lightly browned on each side.

GREAT WHOLE WHEAT (FRESHLY MILLED) PANCAKES

Steps:

• In one bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
• In another bowl mix wet ingredients.
• Quickly mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• Cook's note: I usually "jumpstart" the heat by heating the stovetop griddle on high for about 5 minutes. Then I turn the heat down to 4 (just under medium) while I finish preparation. Then I lightly butter the grill with a cold butter stick on each section where I put pancake batter. I use 1/2 cup scoops for batter (for practicality in serving a large family). I usually bake them 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side. The recipe make 8 large pancakes (1/2 cup batter) or 16 small pancakes (1/4 cup batter).
