Grandmas Soul Food Pancakes With Plantains Recipes

Steps:

• Mash the plantains in a large bowl with a potato masher until slightly chunky. Add the cornmeal, buttermilk, flour, butter, scallions, onion, ginger and salt and mash and stir with the potato masher until combined but still slightly chunky. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Put a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat; brush with some of the canola oil. Ladle 1/2 cup of the plantain batter onto the griddle and spread it into a 4 1/2-inch circle. Make as many pancakes as you can, leaving some space between each. Griddle the pancakes until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the baking sheet to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining canola oil and batter until all the batter is used. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a cast-iron pan or griddle with vegetable oil, wiping off excess with a paper towel. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks into the buttermilk, then whisk in the butter. In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then sift these dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture. Lightly whisk together until the batter is just mixed (a few lumps won't hurt). In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk until soft peaks form. Use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter. Don't overwork the batter; keep it light and fluffy.
• Heat the griddle over medium-high heat until hot. (To test, flick a bit of water onto the pan; it'll bead up and dance if it's hot enough.) Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until little holes appear on the surface and the cooked side of the pancake is golden brown (lift the edge to check), about 1 minute on each side. Don't worry if the first one or two don't turn out well-that's normal. Continue making pancakes, regreasing the pan as needed. Stack pancakes on a plate, slather generously with butter, and pour on a few good glugs of real maple syrup. Makes 4 batches of 3 pancakes (4" in diameter).

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; saute plantains until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer plantains to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.
• Beat egg in a large bowl until fluffy. Stir milk and margarine into egg; add flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir mixture until batter is smooth. Fold plantains into batter.
• Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a heavy griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Griddle is ready with a drop of water breaks into several smaller balls that dance around griddle. Pour batter, about 1/4 cup per pancake, into hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
