Wild Rice Pancake Recipes

WILD RICE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cook the wild rice according to the package instructions. (Do not add salt or cook it in broth; just cook in plain water.) Set aside.
• Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Mix together the milk, vanilla and eggs in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring very gently until just combined. Add more milk if the batter seems too thick. It should definitely be thick but easily pourable. Add the melted butter to the batter, stirring gently to combine. Gently stir in the cooked wild rice. (Add half at first and see how you like the looks of the batter. Then slowly add in as much as you want.)
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add some butter. Pour large spoonfuls of the batter onto the skillet and cook until the pancakes are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Cook the sausage links according to the package instructions.
• Serve the pancakes with an obscene amount of butter and warm syrup, along with some strawberries, melon chunks and blueberries.

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing well to make a smooth batter. Stir in butter and cooked wild rice.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
• For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter on griddle and cook until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute. Continue with remaining batter.

• Cook pancakes until they are brown on both sides. Serve with maple syrup.

WILD RICE BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs, buttermilk and baking soda together in a large bowl. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt; add to the egg mixture. Stir in the melted butter and wild rice.
• Heat the griddle or skillet until hot. Lightly film with grease. Pour on the batter to make four-inch rounds and cook until dry around the edges. Turn and cook on the other side until lightly browned. Serve with butter and warm berry compote, if desired.

Steps:

• Toss the rice with the scallions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Beat the flour into the egg, and pour it into the wild rice. Mix well. Film the bottom of a large skillet with oil, heat it, and when it is hot, scoop up half the wild-rice batter and plop it into the pan. Quickly flatten the cake out with a spatula. Do the same with the remaining batter. There will be lots of spluttering and popping, so beware. When one side has crisped, turn each cake over with a spatula as best you can, and brown the other side.

WILD RICE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan combine the rice, the water, and the salt and simmer the mixture, covered, for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and let it cool. In a heavy skillet cook the carrot, the celery, the onion, the scallion green, and the thyme in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, for about 10 minutes, or until the carrot is just tender, and transfer the mixture to the bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the eggs and the milk, stir the egg mixture into the rice mixture, and stir in the flour and salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat the griddle over moderately high heat until it is hot enough so that drops of water scatter over its surface and brush it with some of the oil. Working in batches, scoop the batter onto the griddle by 1/4-cup measures, flatten the pancakes slightly, and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden. Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked to a heatproof platter and keep them warm in a preheated 200°F. oven.
