Johnny Jalapenos Ride Em Cowboy Corncakes Recipes

CORNCAKES ON THE GRIDDLE

Steps:

• Mix the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. It will be particularly convenient if you have one of those 2 quart measuring cups with the pour spout.
• Beat the eggs into the milk or buttermilk.
• Mix the milk-egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture. I find that a fork is a better tool than a spoon for this.
• Note -- the batter will be a bit thicker than ordinary pancake batter but should still pour. Different types of cornmeal will make a thicker or thinner batter and it may thicken on standing as you cook -- making it hard to get the centers of the later batches done. Add more milk a little at a time if necessary.
• Heat your griddle medium to medium-high. Butter it lighly and pour out batter to make cakes 3-4 inches across.
• Cook until bubbles appear in the upper surface and the bottom is nicely browned. Turn and cook until the bottom is brown and the cake is cooked through. Reduce heat and/or add more milk to the batter if the centers aren't cooked before the outsides threaten to burn.
• Butter the griddle very lightly between batches --just enough to prevent sticking and encourage browning but not enough to give them a fried texture.
• Serve with butter, jelly, apple butter, or other favorite bread spread.

Steps:

• BATTER: Mix all batter ingredients well (you should have about 2 cups).

• Top each equally with bacon, jalapenos, and cheddar. When bubbles begin to appear on the edges of the cakes (about 1-2 minutes and making sure the bottom is thoroughly cooked), Carefully flip them over and cook the other side (about 1-2 minutes). Do not pat down the pancakes!
• Flip cakes topping side up onto serving plates. Top each with the butter, picante, & sour cream. Drizzle lightly with maple syrup, and serve.

BUCKWHEAT CORNCAKES

Steps:

• Mix buckwheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, combine mashed banana, maple syrup, vinegar, and milk. Add flour mixture, stirring just enough to remove any lumps and make a pourable batter. Add a bit more milk if batter seems too thick.
• Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle, then spray lightly with vegetable oil. Pour small amounts of batter onto the heated surface and cook until tops bubble. Turn carefully with a spatula and cook the second sides until browned, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
