What are your favourite and most interesting pancake recipes?
That is, to make healthy ones from-scratch, not from a packaged mix. This morning I made some with grated apple and besan (chickpea) flour and served them with honey and lime juice. They were really deliciously rustic and took hardly any time at all to make. Now I want some more ideas! Thanks :)
Answers: I want your recipe! I love using lots of different grains and bean flours with my cooking so here's a recipe for you!
Blender pancakes (or just the flour if you have a grinder that can grind beans and grains, but I like the chunk of some of the grains)
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup of grain kernels
1/4 cup powdered milk (could use soy milk in place of water and powdered milk)
1 egg
2 Tbsp. Oil
1 Tbs. honey (or apple juice concentrate)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tbs. Baking powder
In blender, mix water, grain kernels, and dry milk on high for 3 minutes. Add egg, oil, honey and salt. Blend very light. Add baking powder, pulse three times, just enough to mix. Miture should foam up and get very light. Cook immediately.
I like a mixture of all kinds of grains from millet, rye, brown rice, oat groats, barley, amaranth, buckwheat, spelt, quinoa, white bean flour is great too. I love adding a little lemon juice. Oh, and adding banana to the batter would be good too!
As for topping I love mashing up 1 banana and applesauce to taste w/ a little apple juice concentrate, 1/4 teaspoon allspice and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, heat it up and put it on top of your pancakes, if you do dairy you could add a little plain yogurt on top. YUM! I absolutely love The Waffle Shop's banana pancakes with whipped cream and walnuts or the corn pancakes. They actually have chunks of banana or kernels of corn. Yummy! standard pancakes with lots of blueberries dropped on top after you pour 'em in the pan. anything with honey and lime juice will be pretty good!
not sure where you live, in US we use pancake recipes with waffle iron to make breakfast waffles (just need to be sure the batter has some oil in it for no sticking)
my favorite waffle recipe has 3 eggs separated, put the yolks in with the oil and milk, but whip the three eggwhites separately before combining all ingredients (flour, etc)
they come out exceptionally light and fluffy, and you put on butter and real maple syrup, or maybe some fruit plus whipped cream
no, they are not good for you! that's what lunch is for! Cheese Blintzes, here are several recipes:
http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,ch... black berry pancakes! the bisquick mix works ok but even betterare the Joy of Cooking or Betty Crocker buttermilk recipes just add blackberry jam to the mix and make the most mouthwater pancakes you've ever had! I have a friend who makes them with shredded carrots and cinnamon. My Toddler's Favorite Pancakes
1 large garnet yam or sweet potato (preferably organic, should yield at least 4 cups grated)
3 large eggs
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons oat bran (optional)
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons sucanat or granulated maple sugar (or brown sugar)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel and coarsely grate the potato/yam.
Mix all ingredients in a medim bowl, stirring to blend.
Spray a baking sheet with plenty of oil spray (I use butter-flavored).
Drop mixture by 1/4 cup measures onto sheet, and press each down flat.
Bake at 400 for 5-7 minutes, flip the pancakes over, and cook for another 5 minutes. (if they need more time, cook them some more, but watch, since the edges burn quickly).
