Not Your Average Pancakes

Hi, my name is Anna and I LOVE pancakes! Usually mommy gives me regular Bisquick pancakes. But let's be honest, they were getting old. So mom went on a hunt for some yummier alternatives. She got very lucky and found a few winners!


Graham Griddle Cakes

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and pecans (if desired). In a separate bowl, stir together milk, butter and egg. Add to the flour mixture and stir well.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.


Johnnycakes

2 cups stone ground cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons boiling water

Cream the cornmeal, salt, and butter together. Add the milk and enough water to make a moist but firm batter.

Drop by large spoonfuls onto a hot greased griddle, and flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. When brown, turn and cook the other side.

Both options are great but my favorite is the Graham Griddle Cakes. I happily chowed down two just this morning! I hope you try them and like them too!
