MEXICAN POPCAKES - Replace flour with mixture of 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flou r and 3 tablespoons masa harina. Proceed with recipe. PANCAKES - Follow recipe, except barely stir ingredients together. Bat ter should look wet and shiny, like bowl of thick-curd cottage cheese. Don't worry about streaks of flour and lumps. Heat skillet and melt just enough oil or shortening to cover bottom. Drop batter by heaping tablespoon into skillet and gently pat each mound of batter down; don't flatten clumps of batter. Turn as s oon as edges of pancake look dry; don't wait for bubbles to break over top before turning.

Times Home Cook column, "Pop Goes the Pancake", 12/1/94, page H8. "If you are like me, you probably cook your favorite dishes again and again. It is easy to get into a rut. But the other day, quite by accident, I had a breakthro ugh when I was making one of my old favorites - pancakes. "This basic pancake recipe is made with the plainest ingredients yet always produces the tenderest little puffy pancakes you can imagine. On a whim, I deci ded I would make another batch and try baking them in muffin cups. . .just to see w hat would happen. Amazingly, they turned out wonderful - high, moist, golden little domes, a cros s between popovers and pancakes. My daughter calls them 'popcakes'. "Curious, I went a step further and tried a variation with the popcakes, replac ing several tablespoons of flour with an equal amount of masa harina.
