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.

With lots of butter, maple syrup and gotta have sausage along side…
I love pancakes spread with butter, sprinkled with sugar, a squeeze of lemon, and roll them up and eat them with your hands!
I love blueberry pancakes, butter, maple syrup, topped off with an egg cooked over easy!
I like to eat my pancakes with dulce de leche!

Never met a pancake I didn’t like. But I have to say the most special were probably the toasted coconut macadamia ones served with coconut syrup I had in Hawaii :)
I have made pancakes 4 times in past month. Although they are getting closer to edible, they are still pretty awful. This is confusing because, believe or not, I’m a a very excellent baker (cakes, biscuits, pizza dough, pies) so I can’t figure out why I can’t make something as simple as a pancake that is not either: raw inside,
burnt, tough, you name it. I hope that out of 77 ways I ought to be able to nail one of them!
Wait so just to be clear, my favorite way to eat them would be homemade and simply, edible. Low bar, huh?
Wowwww!!! :) My favorite style/way to eat pancakes is either one of two ways- traditional chocolate chip, or birthday cake batter pancakes with a little icing syrup on top! (In fact, my husband made me those instead of a birthday cake last year for dinner!!) (I have a bit of a sweet tooth!!!)
Aww, pancakes are the perfect breakfast.
I love them with fruits (berries mostly) and maple syrup. So simple yet so delicious.
The combination bananas/maple syrup/pecans is also to die for.
