Corncake Pancakes

It kind of sounds like a contradiction, doesn't it?

Corncakes pancakes?

When I think of pancakes, I think of soft, fluffy, . . .and yummy.

While the texture may be a little different with the corncake, the end result is still the same!

Yummy!

My boy cherub was up and out of the house early,

and my girl cherub was sleeping in on Saturday morning.

The Mr. and I had enjoyed a morning with a hot cup of coffee and a long rock on the patio.

When the Mr. said pancakes sounded good, I went to gather the ingredients,

which we didn't have what we needed.

But I did have cornmeal!

Sweet corncakes became a real option!

Making my mix, and using my castiron griddle, we ended up with a great Saturday breakfast treat

When I make pancakes, I normally make extra for a quick reheat breakfast later in the week.

These tasty treats, I did not really prefer them reheated.

Corncake Pancakes

1/2 cup potato starch
3/4 cup cornmeal
3 TBSP sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. xanthan gum, optional
2 large eggs
3 TBSP oil
3/4 cup milk
1 TBSP grated lemon rind, optional

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the liquid ingredients. Mix well and allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes to tighten up.

On a greased hot griddle, scoop batter by 1/4 cup full. Allow to cook until edges appear dry and tops begin to bubble. Flip and cook on the other side until done.

Serve warm, with butter, fresh fruit, and drizzled with honey.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
