Best 6 Buttermilk Pancakes With Masa Harina Recipes

MASA PANCAKES

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.

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.

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.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES II

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter. Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. You can flick water across the surface and if it beads up and sizzles, it's ready!
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wooden spoon or fork to blend. Stir until it's just blended together. Do not over stir! Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

MOM'S BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat and lightly grease a large skillet or electric griddle.
• Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Add the egg, buttermilk, and butter; stir together lightly, but keep it lumpy. The batter should look thick, spongy, and puffy.
• Drop 1/3 cup of the batter onto the cooking surface, spreading lightly with the bottom of the cup. Cook until lightly-browned on each side, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

BEST BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat griddle to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, and 4 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.
• Heat oven to 175 degrees. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Using a pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon of butter or reserved bacon fat onto griddle. Wipe off excess.
• Using a 4-ounce ladle, about 1/2 cup, pour pancake batter, in pools 2 inches away from one other. Scatter with berries, if using. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around edges, about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.
• Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on a heatproof plate in oven. Serve with Cranberry Syrup.
