Corn and wild rice pancakes

These pancakes have a great chewy texture with a crisp exterior, and they're very easy to make. The batter can be made several hours in advance, and they can be cooked on a barbecue or in a pan.

  • 1½ cups (225 g) plain (all purpose) flour
  • 1 tsp honey
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp canned pureed or very finely shopped chipotles
  • 1 cup cooked wild rice
  • 6 scallions, chopped
  • ¼ cup finely chopped coriander (cilantro)

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • grilled vegetables and mixed greens to serve, optional

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl combine eggs, melted butter, milk, flour, honey and baking powder to make a batter.  Add the pureed chipotles, wild rice, scallions, coriander, corn and salt and pepper.
  2. Place in the fridge (for up to 4 hours) until ready to use.
  3. Preheat barbecue to 100°C (212°F) or low heat.
