Today we have a recipe for you courtesy of Adrianna Adarme and her new book PANCAKES!!! This book is made for pancake lovers / breakfast lovers, and has 72 awesome recipes for pancakes of all kinds. While Pancakes has mostly breakfast pancake recipes (duh), she also has a entire section dedicated to dinner pancakes which is pretty cool. I picked this recipe because when we were shooting this book (I shot it, and Jenny food styled it!) I ate this and it was delicious. I ate the one we shot for this post also. So good! This recipe is for the huaraches, so you can add whatever toppings you like and it will be delicious. We added carnitas, iceberg lettuce, queso fresco, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice. Done. Easy. Delicious.
We are giving away one copy of Pancakes to a random person who comments on this post and tells us what their favorite way to eat pancakes are. You gotta remember to write your email in the email field so we can get a hold of you if you are the winner. We are taking entrants from now till Monday at 8am. So comment before then if you want to enter! Woo! A winner will be announced on this same post on Monday. Good luck!
Huaraches
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup masa harina
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
- ¼ cup refried beans (canned or homemade)
- Vegetable oil, for the skillet
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a medium bowl, mix together the masa, salt, and warm water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes.
- Add the refried beans to a bowl of a food processor and pulse until the beans become a paste. Alternatively, you could mash them with a fork.
- Separate the dough into 4 balls. Roll each ball into an oval shape. Using for thumb, make a long, deep well in the center. It will resemble the shape of a cigar. Place 1 scant teaspoon of the beans into the well. Pinch the cavity closed, enclosing the beans completely.
- One at a time place each piece of filled dough between two pieces of plastic wrap, Using a rolling pin, lightly press into a 4-inch-long oval that is ¼-inch thick.
- Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat and brush with ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil. Add the huaraches and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, flipping when lightly golden brown. Continue until all 4 huaches are cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Place the skillet over medium-high heat, and pour in vegetable oil until it reaches ½ inch up the sides. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the huaraches to the pan and fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown on each side. Gently turn and cook on the opposite side for 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.

My favorite pancakes are Dutch Pannekoeken. Maybe that’s because my peanut gallery tells me that I don’t make very good pancakes. See, this book would help me!
I like blueberry or chocolate chip pancakes. Either with butter and jelly. Yum.
I love pancakes best when they are hot with a bit of butter…nothing else. However, a very close second would be Pigs in a Blanket. Mmmm…I want pancakes!!
I like a tall stack of tiny pancakes – buttermilk with blueberries is so good!
I love candied pecans, cinnamon and maple syrup pancakes
Whenever I get the opportunity to eat pancakes, I really enjoy topping them with a little molasses.
I love mini pancakes with apple slices in the middle, just yummy with maple syrup and coffee :)
Woohoo! Pancakes are a food group, as far as I’m concerned. My favorite? Carrot cake. The bomb.
This cookbook looks amazing! I love buckwheat pancakes with fresh blueberries in them, and on top. And a little whipped cream doesn’t hurt either ;)
I love pancakes!!! Adding random ingredients and attempting new methods make them so much fun, and most times SUPER yummy.
I’ve never met a pancake I didn’t like. My favorite would have to be with banana slices and peanut butter chips mixed in the batter and served with real maple syrup. Mmm!
I like my pancakes multi-grainy and not at all sweet (generally don’t add sugar), and I like them topped with a poached or lightly fried egg!
This book looks amazing! Lately I have not been able to eat my pancakes without smothering them in Smucker’s Raspberry Syrup!
Blueberry pancakes and bacon,any time of day…Though I’ve recently been venturing more into the savory realm and finding myself pleasantly surprised.
Red velvet pancakes with cream cheese frosting. Love love love.
I love fluffy buttermilk pancakes with chocolate chips! I want to try these huraches – they look delicious! Pancakes for dinner :)
I love blueberry pancakes with warm lemon sauce.
fluffly buttermilk pancakes with a side of brown sugar bacon
I love sharing a pancake with my dad whenever we go out for breakfast which doesn’t happen too often. My half gets tons of syrup of course. Sharing is caring!
Pancakes with chocolate-chips, peanut-butter chips, and diced bananas! Addomg the bananas make me feel like I’m trying to be healthy…
Banana walnut pancakes will always be my favorite. And maple syrup is a must. Actually, it’s an obsession.
Lately my favorite is coconut pancakes with shaved dark chocolate and real maple syrup on top . . . yum yum!
I like to have pancakes with berries, syrup, and yogurt on top!
I’m a sucker for boysenberry syrup on my pancakes!
These huaraches look amazing! I love strawberry pancakes with whipped cream!
