Sisters, I know this recipe does not have oats in them; however, you could always grind some oats and throw them in to satisfy our Oat criteria this month!! I just wanted to share this recipe because we use a lot of masa here in the Valley and these pancakes with the citrus sauce are really good. The key is to cook them slowly and throughly. I added walnuts to mine the other day and topped them with frozen blueberries and a dollop of yogurt!! Even some granola on top would be great. It ends up being a dessert as well. Hope you like them!!
Masa Flour Pancakes
2 teaspoons unpacked light brown sugar
1 to 1 1/2 cup masa flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon salsa verde
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Three Citrus Honey Butter Syrup
Combine brown sugar, 1 cup of the flour, baking powder, and the salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the salsa verde, egg, vanilla, and milk. Slowly add the melted butter.
Gently stir the liquid mixture in to the dry mixture until it is fully combined. The batter should be slightly thick. If it is not thick enough, add the remaining 1/2 cup flour (I did not need to add it). Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake onto the griddle, leaving 2 inches between pancakes. When small bubbles form around the edges of the pancakes at about 1 1/2 minutes, flip. The pancakes should be golden brown on the bottom. Repeat and serve with Three-Citrus Honey Butter Syrup.
Three-Citrus Honey Butter Syrup
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 stick butter
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
2 teaspoons grated grapefruit zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1/2 cup honey
Dissolve cornstarch in water. Bring to boil hte other ingredients and add cornstarch. Mix until combined. Serve warm
* I did not make the syrup this way, but I used it more as a guide. I used about 1 tablespoon of butter, about 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, zest of lemon, lime and orange, and the juice of an orange. It made just the right amount. And, it is a delicious syrup for these pancakes.
