1 lg Red onion, julienned
1 tb Ancho powder
2 ts Cumin powder
2 c Flour
1 c Corn meal
2 ts Salt
1 tb Lemon juice
1 tb Sugar
2 c Beer
In a large mixing bowl, combine onions, ancho powder, cumin, flour, corn meal, salt, lemon juice and sugar. Stir well to combine.
Add beer, stirring to form a pancake-thin batter.
Coat a griddle with a little oil and heat over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter out at a time to form cakes, flattening if required. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip cakes and continue cooking until second side is browned. Reserve cakes on a warmed plate.
Serve with chili.
