I woke up this morning to the usual cacaphony of cab horns, garbage trucks and jack hammers calling an end to my daily rest.
In a t-shirt and underwear I headed towards the kitchen, passing over our newly painted blue floor by way of a hopscotch of three white squares of dry primer.
Being a little hungry and I wanting to make my self a lunch for work, I made some pancakes and got REALLY experimental! Here's the recipe:
Peach Basil Pancakes made with Quinoa flour:
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
big pinch of salt
pinch of sugar
one glug ( the words of jamie oliver) of olive oil
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 egg
1 peach
3 basil leaves
Combine dry ingredients, then oil, cream and egg
Slice peach thinly, rip up basil and sprinkle with salt and sugar. Combine with batter.
On a hot griddle, melt some butter ( or...ghee like I did) and cook 'em up! Then save a big one for your lunch.
PS.The peaches and Basil are from the my Stanton Street CSA farm share.

Report AbuseHow does that quinoa flour work for you? I'd like to travel wheat-free.

Report AbuseIt's pretty good! It has a little bit of strange flavor on it's own - you need the egg and sour cream to give it a good texture too. But it's healthy, meaning that it's a source of nutrients and not problems.
You could put zucchini, corn, onions in pancakes. Make a bunch and keep 'em around for snacks. OHh you could ven add nuts. NUTS!
