Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Masa Harina (corn flour)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the masa harina, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Ensure the butter is slightly cooled to avoid cooking the eggs.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until the batter is just combined and no large lumps remain. The consistency should be slightly thicker than traditional pancake batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon or ladle to spread the batter slightly if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set. Flip gently with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet if necessary between batches.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings: they pair beautifully with savory options like avocado, sour cream, and salsa, or sweet toppings like honey, maple syrup, and fresh berries.
