Cheese Meatless Recipes Pancakes

Cheesy Cornflakes Pancakes

I didn’t realise I have a “thing” for cornflakes until I looked back at some of my previous recipes (case in point here, here and here).

Whether this qualifies as an obsession or not, I beginning to consider cornflakes as my new panko breadcrumbs.  As it seems panko breadcrumbs is always in the “ran-out” status in my pantry, my fall back “crunchy agent” is cornflakes.

It is as if I haven’t had enough cornflakes related recipes, through sheer luck, I found an 80s preloved cookbook showcasing cereals in cookery. How cool is this??

One this you should know about this cornflakes pancakes is despite these are called pancakes, the recipe doesn’t contain any baking powder and bicarb. Therefore don’t expect these to be fluffy like your usual pancakes. The batter (you’ll see it on the photo below) is crepe-like batter. Therefore, these will turn out like thicker-version of savory crepes which will go FANTASTICALLY AWESOME  with bacons ( I can only imagine). If you don’t eat bacon like me, you can try with smoked salmon or in this case with sunny side up eggs.  Any suggestions about the toppings will be very much appreciated! 🙂

Have a good weekend everyone!

Cheesy Cornflakes Pancakes

(tweaked slightly from Cereal Cookbook – from the good grains)

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes (less if you make bigger pancakes)

Serves 3-4 people

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup corn flakes
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • oil to grease pan
  • 1.25 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced

Method:

  • Add corn flakes, flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Use hand to crush corn flakes while combining with the  flour.
  • Add eggs into milk and lightly beat to combine. Make a well in the middle of flour mixture and pour in the egg-milk mixture.
  • Use a fork to gently stir to make a smooth batter.

  • Heat a little oil in a frying pan over low heat.  Use a soup spoon to spread a spoonful of batter onto the pan when the oil is hot.  Try to spread the batter as thin as possible.
  • Sprinkle some spring onion and cheese on the face side up of the batter (like photo below).

  • Cook and turn pancake to brown both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Best served hot with relishes, sunny side up eggs and/or crispy bacon.

    This sounds seriously awesome and looks great with the egg on top. I love the idea of using cornflakes in place of panko. Also, an 80’s cookbook featuring cereal in cooking sounds like so much fun!

    I always run out of panko too. Can’t imagine what these pancakes are like with cornflakes but I am intrigued! Do you think it would work with bran flakes that’s all I have!!:D

      Hi Natalie, I think it would. The cornflakes make the pancake “meatier”, if that makes sense. Using bran flakes is a good idea too! 😀

    I made pancakes this morning too! But mine are totally on the opposite side of the spectrum as yours… Yours are savory, mine were super sweet ube pancakes.

    Just like how I make scallion pancakes. I’ll have to try adding cornflakes!

      Yeah they do remind me of the taiwanese scallion pancakes (the crispy & flaky type). Obviously mine was a crepe-like ripped off from the original one, hehe! Hope you’ll like the taste. 😀

    I’m such a huge pancake lover, but have yet to make a savory pancake. This looks like such a fantastic one to start with! Yum 🙂

      Yeah, I love pancakes too! I rarely make savory pancakes but once in a while I like to shake things up a bit… Also, I feel like I have been consuming too much sugar lately, definitely need to balance things up with some salt and cheese, haha!

    haha, what a clever idea. aren’t cornflakes really high in fiber or something? i don’t quite know. i haven’t had boxed cereal in over a year. this is the cutest idea, and i totally understand your obsession. i went through a phase where i was obsessed with making everything out of pancake batter. it was nuts. i love bisquick though.

      Thanks. Hopefully my cornflakes obsession is temporary and will phase out soon before I rename by blog to “cornflakes cooking”, hehe! 🙂

      I’m like the cornflakes queen in my circle of friends.:P The only place I haven’t add cornflakes is in my stir-fry but you’ll never know…I have gone a bit cornflakes crazy lately, hehe! Hope you’ll like if you try it eventually. 😀

    This looked really delicious when I saw it on pinterest but I made it and wasted 30 minutes and the eggs and ingredients I used because it tasted awful. I did exactly what the directions were and they came out horrible. Sorry.
