AGENT COOPER, SEASON ONE, EPISODE: REST IN PAIN
I am completely late to the game when it comes to the show, Twin Peaks. Granted, I was only a baby when it first came out but I haven’t heard of the show until a few months ago. To my surprise, the show started 26 years ago and they’ve started the show again on Showtime after all these years. Thankfully, the first two seasons are available for free on Amazon Prime and I’ve been playing catchup for the last few weeks. I am now absolutely obsessed with the show.
What makes this show even better is that there was so much food mentioned in the series. This recipe for a short stack of griddle cakes and a slice of ham is inspired by the episode, Rest in Pain, in the first season. This is a really simple recipe you can add to your Twin Peaks viewing party. Please enjoy!
Twin Peaks: Griddle Cakes with Ham
Ingredients
Griddle Cakes
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 whole eggs
- 3 tbsp melted butter + more as needed
Ham
- 1 slice thick slice ham
Instructions
- To prepare the griddle cakes, combine the dries together in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the eggs, buttermilk, and 3 tbsp melted butter.
- Place a cast iron pan over medium high heat. Add about 1-2 tbsp of butter to the pan to melt. Stir the wet griddle cake ingredients to the dries and combined. Ladle a small about of the batter to the hot pan. Each griddle cake should be around 4-5" wide. Cook until the edges start to set and bubbles form at the top. Flip it over and cook on the other side for another two minutes. Keep the rest of the cakes warm as you repeat with the rest of the batter.
- In the same pan over medium high heat, add one tbsp of oil. Cook the ham on both sides until brown. Serve with the griddle cakes.
- Serve with butter and warm maple syrup.
