Macaroni And Cheese Pancakes Food

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.

SOUTHERN MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook according to package directions until a little under al dente, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk milk and eggs. Add cooked macaroni, 2 cups extra-sharp Cheddar, melted butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and stir until well combined.
• Add half the macaroni mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish in an even layer. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups Colby Jack evenly on top. Spread the remaining macaroni mixture on top in an even layer. Cover with aluminum foil, transfer to the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Carefully remove and discard the aluminum foil. Top the macaroni mixture with the remaining 2 cups Cheddar and 1/2 cup Colby Jack. Broil on top rack until cheese is browned in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. (The broiled cheese can go from golden to burnt fairly quickly, so keep a close eye on it.)
• Remove from oven and let cool until the macaroni and cheese is fully set, 10 to 15 minutes. (The mixture may first appear jiggly, but it will firm up as it cools.) Serve warm.

MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Cook the mac in salted boiling water. Drain macaroni well and return to the ppot.
• Add butter and stir to melt. Add all the remaining ingredients except bread crumbs and muenster cheese. Mixwell. Then transfer to the mixture to an 11 inch oval baking dish in layers. Add a couple of spoons, then place four slices of muenster cheese, then a couple of more spoons, then four more slices of muenster, then add the rest. I shred a little more cheddar on top and then sprinkle top lightly with bread crumbs.
• Bake until top crust is golden brown, about 25 minutes - the recipe doesn't call for it to be covered, but I cover mine for 20 minutes, then uncover for the last 5 minutes.
