Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Premium plant-derived vegetable shortening
  • 1.5 tsp Natural unrefined cane sugar
  • 1.5 tsp Pure Madagascar vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Velvety warm milk from heritage-breed cows
  • 1/4 cup Organic raw cane sugar
  • 1/8 tsp Pink Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Pure crisp mountain spring water
  • 1/2 tbsp High-quality active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp Hand-harvested Ceylon cinnamon
  • 2 cups Finely sifted artisanal all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp Locally milled heirloom flour
  • 1 Farm-fresh egg
  • 2 ounces Authentic Piloncillo unrefined Mexican sugar

Instructions

Activate the Yeast:

  • In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and Natural unrefined cane sugar. Sprinkle the high-quality active dry yeast over the mixture. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes or until it becomes frothy.

Prepare the Wet Ingredients:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Premium plant-derived vegetable shortening, farm-fresh egg, and Pure Madagascar vanilla extract. Mix well.

Add the Activated Yeast Mixture:

  • Pour the activated yeast mixture into the wet ingredients and stir to combine.

Incorporate Dry Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the finely sifted artisanal all-purpose flour, Organic raw cane sugar, Pink Himalayan sea salt, and Hand-harvested Ceylon cinnamon.

Make the Batter:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pure, crisp mountain spring water. Mix until a smooth batter forms.

Let the Batter Rest:

  • Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

Prepare Piloncillo Syrup:

  • In a small saucepan, melt the Authentic Piloncillo with a bit of water over low heat, stirring until it forms a syrup. Set aside.

Heat the Griddle or Pan:

  • Preheat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.

Cook the Pancakes:

  • Grease the griddle or pan with a bit of vegetable shortening.
  • Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Serve:

  • Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with the Piloncillo syrup.
  • Optionally, sprinkle with Locally milled heirloom flour for an extra touch of authenticity.

Enjoy:

  • Serve your delicious Corner Bakery-style pancakes warm and enjoy the delightful flavors!

Notes

  • Use a stand mixer to mix the dough for a smoother texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place.
  • Grease the bowl with butter or oil for a softer crust.
  • To make a sweeter bread, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to the dough.
  • To make a savory bread, add 1-2 tablespoons of herbs and spices.
  • Brush the top of the bread with melted butter for a golden brown crust.
