Masa harina pancakes
Masa harina pancakes are a combination of all purpose flour and masa itself. At a glance, they won’t look any different to regular pancakes, but you can be sure the flavors will win you over.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup masa harina
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour, or whole wheat
- 1/4 cup unflavored protein powder, unsweetened
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter, unsalted
Instructions
- Dry ingredients: in a large bowl combine them masa harina, flour, protein, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk until well distributed.
- Wet ingredients: in a separate large bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and butter until well combined.
- Pour in the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Gently fold until just combined. Avoid overworking the batter, a few lumps are ok. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a large non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Scoop or spoon enough batter to make a medium pancake onto the hot surface and lower the heat to medium-low. Cook until the underside turns golden brown, edges are set and bubbles start to pop. Using a spatula, flip and finish cooking it as the second side browns as well. Remove from the griddle and continue making the rest.
- Serve warm, top with a dollop of butter and strawberry sauce or maple syrup. ENJOY!
