Week 8 - S'Mores pancakes

11/17/12 - Now that we are well in to fall, I think more about heartier meals that really warm you up.  And sitting by a toasty fire does just that.  So that quickly led me to think about S'mores because let's be honest, no outdoor fire is complete without some toasted marshmallows.

I found a graham cracker pancake recipe, made a few tweaks, mixed in some chocolate chips, and sprinkled mini marshmallows on top.  I have had a bag of mini marshmallows (not the kind you get that are soft and chewy, but the tiny harder ones you find in instant cocoa powder packets) in my cupboard for what seems like forever.  Finally, a good way to use them up!

Hope you enjoy these, we sure did.  As seems to be the case each week, these are at the top of my husband's favorite pancake list!   Jó étvágyat!

Ingredients
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup graham crackers, crushed, plus more to sprinkle on top of the pancakes
1Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, separated
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2Tbsp butter
3-4 handfuls of chocolate chips
1/2 cup marshmallows

1. Mix the flour, 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl whisk the egg whit with buttermilk.
3. In another separate bowl whisk together the egg yolk and butter.  Combine the egg white and egg yolk mixture, then pour over the dry ingredients.  Mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.  Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Lightly butter a hot griddle or pan and ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle.  Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top and gently press them in to the batter.  

5. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.  Serve with syrup.
