Categories     main-dish

Time 4h5m

Yield 8 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/3 cups hand-grated sharp Cheddar (see Cook's Note)
1 1/3 cups pre-grated mild Cheddar
Pancake Batter, recipe follows
2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
4 hot dogs, sliced into 1/4-inch circles, optional
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pancakes
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Habanero Maple Syrup, recipe follows
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 habanero pepper
4 cups Vermont maple syrup

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.

Time 30m

Yield 8 pancakes (4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

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.

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly grated cheese, real butter, and whole milk will make a big difference.
  • Make sure the macaroni is cooked al dente. This will help it hold its shape and not become mushy in the pancakes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include maple syrup, fruit, whipped cream, and bacon.
