Cookin again

I thought I'd share my pancake recipe since we're in the business of talking about halving recipes. And this one that can be halved, easily.

Pancakes:
1 1/3 cups AP flour
3 tbsp sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

1 1/4 cup milk, 2% or reduced fat (for those that don't get the same milk labeling I do)
3 tbsp oil
1 egg
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Combine dry stuff.

Mix wet really well.

Add wet to dry. Mix well, lumps are fine, no flour streaks. It is thick, really thick if you let it sit.

Pour into hot pan/griddle of your choice 1/4 cup at a time. Give it little smoosh/spin to make more or less round. Cook until bubbly/golden brown and delicious then flip. Maybe two to three minutes per side. A 10 in fry pan can do three pancakes at a time.

You will easily get a dozen pancakes, halving will get around six, and if you scrape the bowel maybe seven or eight.

Additions:
  • 1/4 cup sharp cheddar to the dry. Otherwise treat as normal.
  • bacon bits
  • berries, add to the batter during mixing
  • chocolate chips (honestly not necessary, there's enough sugar)

So this is at Inlay, that Burmese place (I’ve hit now 4 times) that opened near my house recently.

That’s Burmese tea in the upper left, and the main dish is Rakhine Fisherman’s Stew: clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari, mahi and swai in a sweet/savory/spicy sauce. It’s approximately creole spicy, and the seafood was perfectly cooked. All tender treats, no rubber.

The tea has sweetened condensed milk in it, which was a nifty surprise.
 

Took Mom and a couple of her friends* to Saltgrass for lunch yesterday. My steak was good as expected, but I was REALLY happy about their shredded Brussel sprouts. These two recipes are similar enough to work from...and I shall:




* damn near “Other Mom” status
 

Well, I got results back that no chef, cook, or lover of food wants to hear. I’ve had long time health issues, and one of the tests I had done came back and said I have a very high adverse reaction to gluten, dairy, and eggs.

Well, that limits meals significantly lol. I have some experience making these things, but fresh baked bread is one of my most favorite things. I will certainly miss it. Gluten free bread just isn’t remotely close.
 

I may have mentioned before that Mom needs to take some of her meds with food. This is typical of the late night “bento box” snacks I make for her. The ham is rolled up with some Boursin. Baby carrots, San Mariano tomatoes, and some marinated artichoke hearts round it out. A nicely folded paper towel goes in before the 3cup Rubbermaid box is closed and delivered to her bedroom with a tall insulated tumbler of iced water.
