Macaroni and Cheese Pancakes

By srumbel

know it seems strange. But you must try these pancakes at least once. They are different and just plain tasty. And they are fun. We got a big kick out of preparing, eating and talking about them.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. coarse salt
• 1 1/3 cup buttermilk (*Note: the original recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups buttermilk, which I felt was a little heavy. Here, I’m cutting it down with whole milk for a milder taste. But feel free to use all buttermilk and no whole milk!)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
• 2 1/2 cups cooked macaroni, preferably elbows or small shells, drained and cooled
• 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar
• Maple syrup and hot sauce for serving

Preparation

Step 1

1.In a large bowl, whist the dry ingredients.
2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the milks, eggs and butter. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (the batter will be slightly lumpy) . Fold in the macaroni and cheddar.
3.Pre-heat and lightly grease a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Scoop batter onto the griddle to make pancakes. Cook until undersides are golden brown and slightly stiff, about 5 minutes.
4.Flip and cook until second side is golden brown.
5.Repeat with remaining batter and serve warm with syrup and hot sauce (if desired).
