Steps:

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, CHEESE AND HOT DOGS
I always loved it when my mom would make macaroni, cheese and hot dogs when I was young. As I grew up, I found that I liked it to be cheesier than she made it. I have been making this recipe for years and most everyone who has tried it really likes it. It is easy to make and my kids really enjoy having it for lunch.

Tips:
- Use a quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your mac and dogs. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic flavor, or try a different type of cheese such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or Gouda for a unique twist.
- Cook the macaroni al dente: Macaroni that is cooked too soft will become mushy when you add the cheese. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, but taste it a minute or two before the recommended cooking time is up. It should be slightly firm to the bite.
- Add milk or cream for a creamier sauce: If you want a creamier sauce, add a splash of milk or cream to the cheese sauce. You can also add a tablespoon of butter for extra richness.
- Season the sauce to taste: Don't forget to season the cheese sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or cumin, to taste.
- Top with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers for a crispy topping: If you want a crispy topping on your mac and dogs, sprinkle some breadcrumbs or crushed crackers on top before baking. This will give the dish a nice golden brown crust.
