Time 30m

Yield 8 pancakes (4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 1/4 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
1 large egg, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 2 tablespoons unmelted
1 1/2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
1 cup shredded yellow Cheddar
1 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

For the pancakes, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, mustard powder, paprika and cayenne in a large bowl. Whisk in the buttermilk and egg until just smooth. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. Toss the macaroni with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl. Season with salt. Sprinkle with the Cheddar; toss to combine. Stir the macaroni mixture into the pancake batter.
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on the griddle. Scoop the batter with a 1/2 cup measuring cup and add as many pancakes as will fit without crowding. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook to brown the other side, about 1 minute more.
Once all the pancakes are done, warm the syrup in a small saucepan. Serve the pancakes with the syrup and a sprinkling of chives.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 pound elbow macaroni
Salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 package beef or pork hot dogs, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all- purpose flour
1/2 cup beer, 1/3 of a bottle - whatever you have on hand, chicken broth can be substituted
2 cups milk
Pepper
1 rounded tablespoon spicy mustard
2 rounded tablespoons ketchup
3 cups yellow sharp Cheddar, shredded, divided (Buy preshredded cheese. You will need 1 1/2 sacks of 10-ounce packages.)

Steps:

Boil a large pot of water for macaroni. Salt water and under cook macaroni, cook about 7 minutes until just under al dente in doneness.
Preheat broiler and set rack 12 inches from heat.
While pasta works, heat a large deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, then add hot dogs and brown on both sides, 4 minutes total. Remove the dogs with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and the butter. When butter melts, cook onions 4 to 5 minutes, then add flour and cook another minute. Add beer and cook off completely, 1 minute. Whisk in milk and bring to a bubble, then season the sauce with salt and pepper and stir in the mustard and ketchup. Lower heat and add 2 cups of the cheese. Stir to melt, 1 minute. Adjust mustard, ketchup, and salt and pepper, to your taste.
Drain pasta well. Combine pasta and hot dogs with sauce and coat evenly then pour into large casserole and top with remaining cheese. Melt and brown cheese under broiler, 2 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

Choose the right macaroni noodles. Elbow macaroni is the classic choice for mac and cheese pancakes, but you can also use other small, pasta shapes like shells or penne.
Cook the macaroni al dente. This means that the noodles should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked macaroni will make your pancakes mushy.
Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your pancakes. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic mac and cheese flavor, or experiment with other types of cheese like Gruyère, Parmesan, or fontina.
Don't be afraid to add other ingredients to your pancakes. Diced vegetables, cooked meat, or herbs can all be added to mac and cheese pancakes to create different flavor combinations.
Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Mac and cheese pancakes can be topped with a variety of things, such as ketchup, mustard, salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Mac and cheese pancakes are a fun and easy way to enjoy your favorite comfort food. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a new way to serve mac and cheese, give these pancakes a try!
