Dorayaki, a popular Japanese sweet, is delicious as it is, but you can add extra filling such as Whipped Cream, Butter Cream, OR Peanut Butter if you like it. Matcha Cream is my favourite at the moment. Because Dorayaki’s pancakes and ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste) are very sweet, Matcha Cream shouldn’t be too sweet. And …
The other day, I tasted a store-bought Crepe, and it was absolutely awful. Crepes are basically very thin pancakes, and it is easy to make. You don’t need a specific crepe pan, use a frying pan. The awful store-bought Crepe inspired me to make this treat today. I wrapped Banana and Whipped Cream with them. …
There are some different methods to cook Sweet Potato Pancakes. Some people pre-cook Sweet Potato and use mashed Sweet Potato to make pancakes. I grate fresh Sweet Potato, then mix with other ingredients. This is the easiest method, and the pancakes are soft and fluffy. Makes 8 x 10cm Pancakes Ingredients 1 medium size Sweet …
I often cook savoury ‘Cheesy Potato Pancakes’ with an extra ingredient, that can be canned fish such as Mackerel OR Salmon. Today I used Edamame Beans. Edamame Beans are young Soy Beans. In Melbourne where I live, frozen Edamame Beans already removed from the pods are available from most supermarkets. These pancakes are full of …
Since my discovery of Frozen Sliced Gobō (Burdock Root) at a local Asian grocery store, I have been using Gobō for cooking, but I found the slices are just a little too thick and large for certain dishes. For this popular savoury pancake, you need to pre-cook them if the slices are too thick. I …
My savoury pancakes made with Plain Flour and Potato Starch are different from the typical pancakes. They have rubbery texture like Mochi. Some people who use my recipes think batter is too thick and they add more water. That will ruin the texture. The batter should be thick, and it binds the ingredients like a …
Using ‘Tempura’ Batter, that can be made with Plain Flour, Potato Starch, Egg and Water, you can make a variety of savoury pancakes. Today I used Chikuwa (Japanese Tube-shape Fish Cakes) and Spring Onions. You can use Garlic Chives instead of Spring Onions. Add as much as you want if you can combine with the …
To make batter for this type of savoury pancake, I use Plain Flour, Potato Starch and Egg, just like ‘Tempura’ batter. You can use Plain Flour only, OR you may prefer Self-Raising Flour for softer texture. Today I made a large pancake and cut into bite-size pieces. Of course you can make smaller pancakes. Enjoy …
It seems many people are making Banana & Oats Pancakes. Some people use store-bought Oats Flour, some people grind Oats by themselves, and some people use a blender to make the batter. If you use Quick Oats, you don’t need to process Oats. I use my stick blender to make the batter slightly smoother, so …
Ukraine’s thin Pancakes are called ‘Mlyntsi’. Similar to France’s Crepes, ‘Mlyntsi’ can be sweet or savoury. I have my own ‘Mlyntsi’ recipe. Today I used Orange Juice instead of Milk, because I wanted to eat ‘Mlyntsi’ with ‘Orange Curd’ that I made a few days ago. The result was fantastic. I want to share how …
I have been using a lot of Parsley for cooking lately. The other day I cooked Asian flavoured ‘Parsley Pancake’. Today I cooked Potato Pancakes and I added a lot of Parsley to the mixture. It was delicious. I added firmly packed 1/2 cupful Parsley, which looked too much, but surprisingly Parsley flavour was not …
My Parsley in a plant pot has grown so well. Each leaf is very large and thick, and I have been trying to use the Parsley for cooking. Today I made this simple pancake. The batter is Tempura batter that I use for other vegetable pancakes. I am so glad that I tried. It was …
