Macaroni and Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup whole wheat flour
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. coarse salt
• 1⅓ cup buttermilk
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
• 2½ cups cooked macaroni, preferably elbows or small shells, drained and cooled
• 1½ cups grated cheddar
• Maple syrup and hot sauce for serving

Instructions:

In a large bowl, whist the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milks, eggs and butter. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (the batter will be slightly lumpy) . Fold in the macaroni and cheddar.

Pre-heat and lightly grease a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Scoop batter onto the griddle to make pancakes. Cook until undersides are golden brown and slightly stiff, about 5 minutes.

Flip and cook until second side is golden brown.

Repeat with remaining batter and serve warm with syrup and hot sauce (if desired).
