Uhm… yes. It’s pretty much all I can say. We broke out the hot sauce for these, but ate them just plain because they were that good. I borrowed the recipe from Smitten Kitchen, but adapted it just a little and forwent the sauce. I scaled her recipe down to make 4 good-sized pancakes. They…
Tag: pancake week // semana de los panquques
We went to Dee’s (Bridgeside Diner) for breakfast this morning because we were feeling a little lazy this morning. We allow ourselves to eat out once (or sometimes twice) a week, and Dee’s is one of our favorite places to go because they do all the things we would never. It’s guilt-free and occasional, so…
I do not like to waste things. That is why when we have bread that is about to go stale, we take the ends and put them in a bag in the freezer for bread pudding. I have been doing this for about twenty years. I love bread pudding, and now I think I love…

Pineapple Pancakes
One of my most favorite things about late February is that all the golden things start returning, including pineapples. They’re in season, so they’re on sale. This year I tried a new method to prepping the pineapple. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/technique/how-prepare-and-chop-pineapple I saved the top to plant and juiced the eyes and core, but threw out the skin…

Savory Æbleskiver
Okay. srsly. For the third day of pancake week, my true love gave to me: a lovely plate of savory æbleskiver (or Dutch Pancakes). I started out with the recipe for regular (sweet) æbleskiver, but omitted the sugar (obvz) and added parsley & feta. The recipe is a tiny bit more complicated than a regular pancake because…

Day Two: Classic Flapjacks
I love making pancakes. One egg, some half and half, a little flour and a hefty teaspoon of baking soda thinned with water to consistency; this recipe doesn’t use measurements, it uses sensibility. Some people add a little salt and sugar to the mix, but I don’t see the need for sugar when the cakes…

Desayuno Dia Uno
Pancake Week: Day One Justin & I have been keeping added sugars out of our diet for the past couple of weeks, so I thought that Pancake Week , this year, might prove to be difficult. So far, I stand corrected. When I got up this morning I spied two yellow squash that we’ve been…

Pancake Week 2012
This was probably our most successful and delicious week of pancakes, yet. And maybe even the healthiest. Day One: Banana Pancakes with Maple Syrup & Fresh Strawberries and Orange Wedges. A very simple, classic American-style pancake for which I can’t even provide a recipe with measurements, but they are made in the vein of simple…

Bindaetteok
Bindaetteok is a Korean style pancake made with Mung beans and other ingredients. Keri and I bought some of the beans a couple weeks ago with no set recipe in mind for their use. The other day Keri came across the Mung bean pancake while looking for new and unusual pancakes for pancake week. The…

Spicy Pepper Aebleskiver
Last summer Keri and I found a cast iron Aebleskiver pan at our local Salvation Army thrift store to add to our growing collection of cast iron. We bought it not fully understanding the purpose of such an oddly shaped pan. It turns out these pans, also called a Monk’s Pan, are used to make…

Savory Crêpes
Day Two International pancake week is officially underway. Tonight we decided we would have savory crêpes for dinner with a variety of fillings: home made ricotta | peccorino cheese | asiago cheese | gruyere cheese | scallions black olives | wild salmon | fresh spinach | sauteed mushrooms, garlic &…
[column width=”47%” padding=”6%”] In honor of the final day of Pancake Week, Justin & I thought it would be fun to make Johnnycakes, a traditional New England (Rhode Island) corn cake. There is some discrepancy about from where the name is derived, but in any case, they’re pretty good. This was the first time I…
[column width=”47%” padding=”6%”] Seriously, what a treat this was. I adapted this recipe from one of my favorite bloggers, The Slow Cook. Apparently, they adapted theirs from the Breakfast Book by Marion Cunningham. I will tell you now, this was one of the most surprisingly delicious things I’ve ever eaten. It was not like a…

Danish Style // El Estilo De Danés
[column width=”47%” padding=”6%”] A pancake bonus sent from an iPhone. Technology amazes me. This lovely was ordered from the Lighthouse Cafe in Sausalito, California. This is a Danish style, mixed fruit pancake with blueberries, raspberries and bananas, sprinkled with powdered sugar and slathered in butter and maple syrup plus scrambled eggs, sausage, what looks like…
[column width=”47%” padding=”6%”] Justin and I have a rooted interest in “peasant foods” or foods made with simple ingredients and prepared with craftsmanship; when these kinds of foods are eaten, one can have an extraordinary experience. I believe the lopchanka fits this category. Justin found this recipe a few days ago and thought it would…
