These Masa Pancakes Are Easy Like Sunday Morning

March 28, 2024

These tender, slightly sweet pancakes come together quickly (we've been known to throw them together on a weeknight morning!) and, unlike many other masa pancake recipes we've tried, don't rely on any wheat flour filler. That means they're totally free of gluten, dairy (depending on the milk you use), and refined sugar — and totally delicious. The recipe is lightly adapted from Kate Ramos of Hola Jalapeño. Thank you, Kate!

Ingredients

2 cups milk of choice
Juice of ½ a lemon
1 ½ cups Heirloom Blue Corn Masa Harina
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp kosher salt
2 large eggs
⅓ cup olive oil, plus more for the pan
¼ cup honey

Directions

Combine milk and lemon juice in a large bowl and let sit 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine masa harina, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Whisk to break up any lumps.
Add eggs, olive oil and honey to milk mixture and whisk until smooth. Add dry mixture and whisk until just combined and no dry spots remain. Batter will seem thin at first and then get very thick after a few minutes, but will still cook up light and fluffy.
Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add about ¼ cup of the batter for each pancake and spread into ¼-inch thick circle. Cook until crispy and browned on the edges, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, about 2 minutes.
