CHEDDAR & SRIRACHA CORNMEAL PANCAKES

January 5, 2015

These are a very fun concept that gives some nice variety to a pancake occasion, such as sunday brunch. They are savory! They are great with a fried egg on top! I am not even the biggest “brinner” person (breakfast for dinner), but I like these and could do them then! And, they are great for the palettes in your life who love spicy-ness. These also just have a strong “boy food” feel. Have fun with it!

    These are absolutely wonderful and used all ingredients we tend to keep in stock. We pre=made the cakes and ate these for breakfast for a week and never got sick of them. I added a spread of apricot habanero pepper jelly that we canned last summer and really enjoyed the sweet and spicy addition. This was the first recipe we made from your site and will certainly be back for more!

    These smelled so much better than they tasted but I think they could be awesome with more spices, more sriracha, and more cheese. Very interesting idea, thanks for sharing!

    I made this tonight for my husband and I. We LOVED it! Thank you for sharing your creativity and love for food with us.

    Love this, thank you! I wanted to share a tip: The recipe made more than we could eat, so we used the leftover pancakes as mini taco shells.

      That’s a fun idea!
