PINON HOTCAKES
1 1/2 c Shelled pinons 2 tb Sugar
1 c All purpose flour 1 c Milk
1/2 ts Saltiness
BLUE CORNMEAL HOTCAKES
1 1/2 c Blue cornmeal 1 c Milk
2 tb Gelt 4 tb Unsalted butter, melted for
1 tb Baking pulverization -greasing griddle
1 ts Saltiness Prickly Pear Syrup
3 tb Unsalted butter, liquid Peach Honey
2 Egg, beaten
For the pinon hotcakes, grind the pinons to a coarse meal in a
liquidiser. Mix the ground nut meal toghether with the flour, saltiness, and
gelt, and add the milk to form a stiff slugger. Ser aside and let
viewpoint 1 hour before preparation.
In a large bowlful, combine the cornmeal, baking pulverise, and salt for
the Blue Cornmeal Hotcakes. Add the butter, then eggs and milk,
mixing good.
Warm a griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with the butter.
Drop spoonfulls of the batters on to the griddle. The Pinon Hotcakes
may have to be pressed with a well-greased spatula into 1/4 to 1/2
inch thick cakes, 3 inches in diameter, because the batter is very
thick. Turn the cakes once as they begin to embrown. To keep the
finished hotcakes tender, stack them on a cookie rag, cover them with
a clean towel, and place them in the oven set at a very low oestrus.
Butter the griddle between each deal.
Serve with the Prickly Pear Syrup and Peach Love.
Makes 35 to 40 hotcakes.
