Masa Pancakes

For months we have searched for a pancake recipe like we had in Guatemala. The best food at La Casa Grande Hotel was breakfast for us and the pancakes were wonderful. Finally I think we have found it give it a try and let us know if you like them. Enjoy.





3/4 cup masa corn flour (not meal)
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tbsp. corn oil

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, milk and oil. Pour into dry ingredients and stir until blended. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the masa and stir again. Batter should be thick. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp. corn oil to the skillet. (I use a non-stick griddle and no oil) Pour a 1/3 cup batter into the skillet and use a spoon to spread it into a 4 1/2" circle. Repeat until batter is gone.
