Tex-Mex Cowboy Pancakes

These yummy cornmeal pancakes topped with salsa, sour cream and cheese are a great choice for lunch, supper or snack time. Stack any leftover pancakes with wax paper between each one, seal in a freezer bag and freeze for up to one month. Reheat straight from the freezer by microwaving on high (100%) for 30 seconds per pancake.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup (250 mL) cornmeal
  • 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) chili powder
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1-1/4 cups (300 mL) milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • salsa, sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese
    • Directions
  • 1.

    In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, chili powder, sugar and salt. In a 2-cup (500-mL) glass measure, whisk together milk, eggs and 2 tbsp (25 mL) oil.

  • 2.

    Pour milk mixture over cornmeal mixture; whisk just until no dry spots remain. Stir in green onions; let mixture stand for 5 minutes.

  • 3.

    Heat a large non-stick skillet or non-stick griddle over medium heat. When skillet is hot, brush lightly with vegetable oil. Using a 1/4 cup (50-mL) measure, pour batter into skillet to make individual pancakes, spacing them so they don’t touch. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until bottoms are golden and bubbles start to form. Turn pancakes; cook for 30 to  60 seconds, until golden. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing griddle with more oil as needed.

    Arrange pancakes on a plate. Top with salsa and sour cream; sprinkle with cheese. Serve at once.
