Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup masa flour
- ½ cup flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar - I like turbinado
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons butter - melted
- 1 cup corn
- ½ cup Hatch green chile - seeds and stems removed, chopped
Avocado Crema
- 1 large or 2 small avocados - skin and pit removed
- ¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk or buttermilk +/-
- ¼ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
- juice from 1/2 lime - about a tablespoon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt and fresh ground pepper
Garnishes
- eggs - optional cooked any style
- chopped cilantro
- chopped scallions
- cotija - crumbles
- lime wedges
Instructions
- Add the avocado, yogurt, cilantro, salt and pepper, and milk or buttermilk to a small food processor. Pulse until smooth. Check consistency, and add more milk or buttermilk to bring it to a thick but slightly pourable consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the flours, sugar, baking powder and baking soda, and salt. Thoroughly combine.
- Whisk the beaten eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter together. (I do the buttermilk and butter before whisking in the eggs).
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry, and combine thoroughly with a spatula. Stir in the Hatch green chile and corn.
- Heat a griddle to medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Pour 4-5" pancakes (I use a ladle for this task). When pancakes are set, bubbly, and golden brown on the first side, carefully turn with a large spatula. Cook until golden brown on the second side.
- Top pancakes with avocado crema, and garnish with cilantro, scallions, and/or cotija as desired. Enjoy!
