Once once more, I turned them into a pancake. Last 12 months I made a few blue grape pancakes with a blue grape sauce. They had been so scrumptious, I desired to try a baked pancake version to exhibit this valuable fruit. One benefit of baked pancakes is which you do not have to stand in front of the skillet, flipping them in batches and preserving the completed ones warmed at the same time as you go through the batter. They're additionally ridiculously clean to make. But what you'll sincerely admire is the gentle, creamy and slightly chewy texture of the baked pancake ?

One of those ideas took place to me when I turned into looking at my recipe for a pineapple upside-down cake in which butter, brown sugar and earrings of fresh sweet pineapple are baked at the lowest of a easy white cake, after which the cake is inverted so that the cooked pineapple sits on top. Well, what may be simpler than pineapple upside-down pancakes, since the pancakes ought to be flipped in any case? So this recipe became born, with the clean rings of pineapple fried in butter and brown sugar until golden-brown and then placed on top of pancakes proper before they're flipped. These grew to become out to be a scrumptious weekend treat.

Any pancake batter may be used, however I might propose a thicker batter inclusive of the one I used right here to guide the pineapple earrings. A little almond extract is a first-rate addition to the batter as properly.

As an awful lot as it pains me to allow cross of books, cookbooks or in any other case, so frequently the revel in is one in every of renewal and discovery.

My brain turned into humming with proposal. I became discovering recipes I had nearly forgotten about, others simply waiting to be enjoyed once more, and new ideas to strive.

These savoury pancakes I rediscovered in one of the first vegetarian cookbooks that ever occupied a area on my shelf. I have tailored the recipe through the years to make it my personal, however as corn seems best from time to time at the menu, those moist, almost soften-in-your-mouth fritters hadn't been served up for a pretty a long time.

Roasted Balsamic Cherry and Goat Cheese Crêpes

If you were to ask me what my favorite fruit is at any given time, I'd likely say whatever fruit happened to be in front of me. But I do have a special weakness for sweet cherries when they're in season — plump, firm, sweet and so bold and striking in flavor, I buy large bags full of them as often as I can for snacks, breakfasts and treats.

This time around, I've tossed them in balsamic vinegar and roasted them in preparation for a crêpe filling. Roasting softens the cherries and deepens the flavor into almost a cherry pie filling taste without the sugar, and the balsamic vinegar further intensifies the flavor by lending it something like the taste of a robust red wine — definitely not vinegary! Combine with toasted almonds and tangy soft goat cheese and roll up in a soft, light and chewy crêpe and you have a sweet and savory treat that's perfect for brunch or lunch.

The crêpes themselves — adapted slightly from Joanne at Eats Well With Others — are quick and simple, and work out perfectly every time into a soft, light and easily rollable or foldable crêpes that are ideal for filling or stuffing. They're also unsweetened, and are a great crêpe for any savory or dessert idea.
