      • Pinch of salt: Enhances the flavor of the dough.

      • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk: For a creamy base.
      • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder: For a rich, chocolaty flavor.

      • 1 tablespoon cornstarch: To thicken the sauce and make it velvety smooth.

    Instructions:

    Step 1: Prepare the Churro Dough

      1. Coat the Florets: Working with one cauliflower floret at a time, first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the whisked eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, roll it in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing the coating onto the cauliflower to help it stick.
      2. Place on Baking Sheet: Once coated, place each cauliflower floret on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process for all florets.
      3. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Once all the florets are coated, drizzle or spray them lightly with olive oil. This will help achieve a golden and crispy finish.

    Step 4: Bake the Cauliflower

      1. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy on the outside. You may want to flip the florets halfway through the baking time to ensure even crisping.
      2. Remove and Garnish: Once baked, remove the cauliflower from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.

    Step 5: Prepare the Sauce (Optional)

      1. Mix the Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, yogurt, freshly chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
      2. Serve: Serve the crispy cauliflower bites with the tangy sauce on the side for dipping.

    Cooking Tips:

      • Even Crisping: To ensure the cauliflower bites become evenly crispy, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave enough space between the florets so that they can bake properly.
      • Optional Frying Method: If you prefer extra crispiness, you can fry the cauliflower instead of baking. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the cauliflower in batches until golden brown.
    • Herb Variation: Feel free to customize the seasoning with your favorite herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, for a different flavor profile.
    • Panko Substitution: If you don’t have panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs will work, although panko offers a lighter and crispier texture.

    Storage:

    • Refrigeration: Store any leftover cauliflower bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes to restore their crispiness.
    • Freezing: You can also freeze these cauliflower bites before baking. Simply coat the cauliflower as instructed, place them on a tray, and freeze until firm. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 2 months. To cook, bake from frozen at 200°C (400°F) for 25-30 minutes.

    Quick and Easy No-Oven Yogurt Pancakes

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

      • Egg: 1 large (room temperature is best for even mixing)
      • Sugar: 3 tablespoons (this adds sweetness to the pancakes)
      • Vanilla Sugar: 8g (for an aromatic touch)
      • Oil: 2 tablespoons (plus extra for cooking; can use vegetable or coconut oil)
      • Yogurt: 125g (preferably plain or Greek yogurt for added creaminess)
      • Milk: 80ml (to adjust the batter consistency)
      • Flour: 180g (all-purpose flour is ideal, but whole wheat can be substituted for a healthier option)
      • Baking Powder: 10g (this is what gives the pancakes their light and airy texture)
    • Caster Sugar: (for sprinkling on top, optional)

    Instructions

    1. Prepare the Batter:
        • Whisk Ingredients Together: Begin by cracking the egg into a mixing bowl. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of regular sugar and 8g of vanilla sugar until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy. This helps to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
        • Add Wet Ingredients: Next, introduce 2 tablespoons of oil, 125g of yogurt, and 80ml of milk into the egg mixture. Use a whisk or spatula to mix everything until smooth and well blended. The yogurt not only adds flavor but also contributes to the pancakes’ moistness.

       

      • Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift in 180g of flour and 10g of baking powder into the wet mixture. Sifting helps to prevent lumps and ensures even distribution of the baking powder. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough pancakes—just mix until combined!
    2. Cook the Pancakes:
        • Heat Your Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once heated, lightly grease the pan with a bit of oil. This will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent sticking.

       

        • Pour the Batter: Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour a small amount of batter into the pan to form a pancake. You can choose to make them small or large depending on your preference—just keep in mind that smaller pancakes cook faster.
        • Watch for Bubbles: Cook the pancake until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes. This is an indication that it’s time to flip.
        • Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook the other side until it turns golden brown, approximately 1-2 more minutes. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as necessary to keep things non-stick.

       

    3. Serve:
        • Add Sweetness: Once the pancakes are cooked, sprinkle them lightly with caster sugar for an added touch of sweetness. This will enhance their flavor and give them a lovely finish.
        • Presentation: Serve the pancakes warm, stacked on a plate, and consider adding a few toppings for extra flair. Fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices can add color and freshness. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup complements the pancakes perfectly, adding a delightful sweetness. You might even consider a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt for a rich, creamy contrast.

       

      • Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different flavors! You can add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even spices like cinnamon or nutmeg directly into the batter for a unique twist.

    Additional Tips:

      • Make Ahead: If you’re short on time, you can prepare the batter the night before. Store it in the refrigerator and give it a good stir before cooking. The flavors will develop nicely overnight!
    • Leftovers Storage: These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet or microwave for a quick breakfast on the go.
    • Freezing for Later: If you make a large batch, consider freezing the pancakes. Let them cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen solid. Transfer them to a freezer bag or container for up to 2 months. To reheat, just pop them in the toaster or microwave.
