Macaroni And Cheese Pancakes Recipes

MAC AND CHEESE PANCAKES (WITH OPTIONAL HOT DOG)

Steps:

• Blend together the hand-grated and pre-grated Cheddars in a bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat griddle to medium heat. Ladle 4 pancakes on the griddle at a time; do not overcrowd. Add 1/4 cup macaroni to each pancake, followed by 1/2 hot dog per pancake, if using, followed by 1/3 cup Cheddar per pancake. When you notice the edges bubbling vigorously, spray the entire pancake and griddle with nonstick spray, then flip the pancakes. Press down on the pancakes with a great deal of force (think panini style).
• Cook until the cheese is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from the griddle, sprinkle with scallions and serve with warm Habanero Syrup. Repeat to make 4 more.
• Mix flour, baking soda, salt, eggs and buttermilk in a bowl until just combined; your batter should look lightly lumpy but combined. Set aside for at least 2 hours.
• Slice habanero in half and place in a saucepan with maple syrup. Bring up to a full boil and turn off right away to avoid boil-over. Let stand for 3 hours. Strain out pepper.

MACARONI AND CHEESE PANCAKES

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.

MAC AND CHEESE PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook your pasta, according to packet instructions and leave to cool.
• Prepare your batter by measuring out the flour in a bowl and add the salt.
• In a separate bowl whisk together the milk and egg then add to the bowl of flour. Whisk to remove any lumps then add the mustard and a handful of cheese. Stir to combine.
• Heat a little oil or butter in a medium-sized frying pan. Add a generous ladle of batter to the pan, swirl to spread and allow to cook on one side.
• Before turning your pancake, drop a handful of cooked pasta onto the uncooked batter then cover with a handful of cheese. Carefully turn your pancake so the batter cooks and the cheese gets nice and crispy. Serve straight from the pan, crispy side up.
