  • Fluffy Pancakes

    Fluffy Pancakes

    Fluffy Pancakes

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • 2 eggs
    • 10 g of unsalted butter
    • 1 teaspoon of concentrated coffee aroma
    • 1 pinch of salt
    • 20 ml of whole milk
    • 30 gr of wheat flour
    • 40 grams of sugar
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

    Instructions

    • The first step to making these fluffy pancakes
    • We will start by separating the yolks from the whites. Mix the yolks in a bowl with the previously melted butter, the milk, and the teaspoon of coffee flavoring, if you prefer you can use other essences such as vanilla. Now we will mix well.
    • Then add a pinch of salt and the previously sifted flour, mixing it with the kitchen rods.
    • Next, beat the egg whites until stiff, for this put the mixer at full power and, when it starts to thicken, add a teaspoon of lemon and, little by little, the sugar until the egg whites are mounted. If you prefer, you can make it by hand with the rods.
    • Then add the egg whites to the bowl with the egg yolks and, with enveloping movements, mix everything very well using the icing tongue.
    • Finally, as soon as it is ready, preheat a large saucepan with a few drops of oil using a brush on the base of the saucepan, using a small ladle or pastry bag to introduce the mixture.

    Tips for Making Fluffy Pancakes

    Achieving the perfect stack of fluffy pancakes requires attention to detail and a few tricks of the trade.

    Ingredient Ratios

    The ratio of flour to liquid in the pancake batter is crucial. Too much flour can result in dense pancakes, while too much liquid can make them thin and flat. Aim for a balanced ratio to achieve optimal fluffiness.

    Mixing Methods

    When mixing the batter, avoid overmixing, as this can overdevelop the gluten in the flour, leading to tough pancakes. Instead, mix the ingredients until just combined, leaving some lumps in the batter.

    Cooking Temperature

    Cook pancakes on a preheated griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. This allows them to cook through evenly without burning on the outside. Use a non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.

    Conclusion

    Fluffy pancakes are more than just a delicious breakfast treat—they’re a culinary canvas for creativity and exploration. By mastering the art of making fluffy pancakes, you can elevate your breakfast game and delight your taste buds with each fluffy bite.

  • Potato and Egg Skillet Recipe

    Potato and Egg Skillet Recipe

    Potato and Egg Skillet Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • 1 Potato (about 200g or 7 oz)
    • 1 Egg
    • 1 tbsp Butter for frying (about 15g or 0.5 oz)
    • Salt and pepper to taste (optional)

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare the Potato

    Start by washing and peeling the potato. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potato into very thin rounds, about 1-2mm thick. Thin slices will help the potatoes cook evenly and become crispy.

    2. Heat the Skillet

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely, making sure the bottom of the skillet is well-coated.

    3. Arrange the Potato Slices

    Once the butter has melted, arrange the potato slices in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping each other to form a single layer that covers the entire bottom of the skillet. This will form a cohesive “potato crust” as the base of the dish.

    4. Cook the Potatoes

    Let the potatoes cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom layer starts to turn golden brown and crisp. Avoid moving the potatoes during this time to ensure they form a solid layer.

    5. Flip the Potato Layer

    Using a large spatula, carefully flip the entire potato layer. If flipping seems tricky, you can invert the potatoes onto a plate, then slide them back into the pan, cooked side up. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the second side is golden and crispy as well.

    See also  Crispy Eggs – A Street Food Delight! Taste the Crunchiness Like Never Before!

    6. Add the Egg

    Once the potatoes are crispy, create a small well in the center of the potato layer using your spatula. Crack the egg into this well, allowing it to sit in the middle of the skillet.

    7. Cook the Egg

    Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny. If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, cook for an additional minute or two.

    8. Season and Serve

    Once the egg is cooked to your liking, season with salt and pepper to taste. Carefully slide the entire potato and egg layer onto a plate and serve immediately.

    Tips:

    • For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some paprika or garlic powder on the potatoes while cooking.
    • Add grated cheese or herbs like parsley or chives to elevate the dish.
    • To make the flipping process easier, use a skillet that’s not too large so you can manage the potatoes better.

    Banana and Condensed Milk Recipes

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • 2 ripe bananas: Choose bananas that are spotty and soft for the best flavor and texture.
    • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk: This will add creaminess and sweetness to your dessert.
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Optional but it enhances the flavor profile beautifully.
    • A pinch of salt: This will help balance the sweetness.

    Optional Add-ins:

    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Adds a warm spice.
    • Chopped nuts: Walnuts or pecans can give a lovely crunch.
    • Chocolate chips: For a richer dessert.
    • Whipped cream: To top it off.

    Instructions

    • Peel and Slice: Start by peeling the ripe bananas. Slice them into smaller pieces to make them easier to mash.
    • Mash the Bananas: In a mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the bananas until they are mostly smooth, with just a few small lumps remaining for texture. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and creamier your mixture will be.
    • Add Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the mashed bananas. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it now as well.
    • Mix Thoroughly: Use a whisk or spatula to mix the bananas and condensed milk together until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth, creamy, and slightly thickened.
    • Add Salt: Sprinkle in a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. This step is crucial, as it balances the sweetness of the condensed milk.
    • Incorporate Optional Add-ins: If you’re using cinnamon, nuts, or chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture at this stage. Each addition will contribute unique flavors and textures to your final dessert.
    • Refrigerate: For the best taste and texture, cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
    • Serve: Once chilled, serve the banana condensed milk mixture in small bowls or cups. Top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with additional banana slices or nuts for a professional touch.

    Creative Serving Ideas

    • As a Dessert Bowl: Enjoy it as a simple yet delicious dessert on its own.

    1. Gradually pour a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs while whisking continuously. This process is called tempering and helps prevent the eggs from curdling.

      Cooking the Pudding:
    2. Place the saucepan back on the stove over low heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.

    Adding Vanilla (Optional):

    1. If using vanilla extract for added flavor, stir it into the pudding mixture once it’s removed from the heat.

    Chilling the Pudding:

    1. Transfer the pudding mixture into individual serving bowls or a larger serving dish.
    2. Allow it to cool at room temperature for a while before placing it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2-3 hours until it sets.

    Garnishing (Optional):

    1. Once the pudding is chilled and set, garnish with chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch of flavor.
    2. Serve and Enjoy!

    How To Elevate This Smoothie Recipe

    I used 4 basic ingredients to make this smoothie, so it may be a bit too basic for your liking.

    However, elevating this smoothie and making it a bit more interesting is super easy, because lots of ingredients can work well with your core 3 ingredients; banana, apple and kiwi.

    Here are some ideas for you:

    • Add more richness to your smoothie by adding some nut butter. One of the times I made this smoothie I added a tablespoon of almond butter and it worked great!
    • For a totally nut-free smoothie, you can either use coconut water or other dairy-free milk of choice.
    • Add seeds! I love adding chia seeds to most of my smoothies, but with this smoothie, it works even better. Chia seeds will add omega-3 fatty acids and fiber to the smoothie.
    • Make it a super nutritious breakfast by adding oats and yogurt to the blender along with the other listed ingredients. This is of course if you are not vegan.
