Maxs Cornmeal And Bacon Fat Pancakes Food

SWEET CORN PANCAKES WITH BACON

Steps:

• Dice the bacon into 1/4-inch pieces then add it to a large skillet set over medium-low heat. Cook the bacon until all the fat has rendered off. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon from the pan into a small bowl and set it aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat, reserving any extra drippings to cook the pancakes (optional).
• Add the scallions to the pan and cook, stirring, until sautéed, about 3 minutes. Add the scallions to the bowl with the bacon and stir to combine.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a separate medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and melted butter. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. (The mixture should be lumpy.) Stir in the bacon-scallion mixture and the corn.
• Heat a large griddle or skillet then grease it with the reserved bacon fat or butter. Drop 1/4-cup portions of the batter onto the heated griddle. Once bubbles form across the tops of the pancakes, flip them once and continue cooking an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until cooked through.
• Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined to make a thick batter.
• In another bowl, whip the egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Use a rubber spatula to fold the whites into the batter just until no white streaks remain.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with butter. Working in batches, drop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the tops of the pancakes and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until the pancakes are cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer the cooked pancakes to the oven to keep warm and continue to make more pancakes, brushing the skillet with butter as needed, until all the batter has been used. Serve the pancakes with blackberries and maple syrup.

BACON FAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then whisk in the milk and vanilla.

• Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet to form a pancake. Add 1 or 2 more pancakes, making sure they're evenly spaced so they don't touch. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Remove to a plate.
• Brush the skillet with a thin film of bacon fat. Repeat with the remaining batter, forming pancakes and brushing the skillet with bacon fat as needed between batches. Serve the pancakes with warm maple syrup.

MAX'S CORNMEAL AND BACON FAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add liquid bacon fat and vanilla to dry ingredients and whisk briefly to incorporate. Add the eggs and whisk enough to blend, but don't overdo it. Add yogurt and stir just enough to blend, adding water until thick, but not stiff or lumpy. Let stand for 30-60 minutes on the counter, without fail. If you don't let it stand, you will be unhappy with results! Preheat cast iron skillet or griddle for 5-10 minutes and lightly coat with bacon fat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and pour batter by 1/4 cup-fulls onto pan; the batter should drop more than pour, and result in a 4 inch pancake. Flip once when edge looks dull, approx 60 seconds. Cook about one minute more and remove to plate. Center should be moist but not wet. Lower heat if browning too fast and uncooked in the center. Serve with warm pure maple syrup, powdered sugar and lemon juice, nutella, or your favorite topping. You may want to consider skipping the butter, though. Go for a hike, bike, or ski. Enjoy!

BUTTERMILK CORN PANCAKES WITH BACON & MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2 - you'll need the oven to keep the pancakes warm later on. Put the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and half the sweetcorn into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine (you want the corn to be chopped, not puréed). Stir in the spring onions and remaining corn.
• Heat two frying pans over a medium heat, and add about 1 tbsp oil to each. Ladle two pancakes, measuring about 10-12cm across, into each pan. Cook for about 3-4 mins until set and small bubbles form on top. Using a palette knife, flip the pancakes over and cook on the other side for 2-3 mins more. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a roasting tin or baking sheet lined with a double layer of baking parchment, and put in the oven to keep them warm.
• When all the pancakes are cooked, add a little more oil to the pans, then cook the bacon until golden on both sides. Serve alongside the pancakes, with the maple syrup drizzled over and some extra spring onions sprinkled on top.
