Pancakes in Japan Idea

I keep kinako powder-- ground soy bean powder that is typically eaten on mochi-- in my kitchen, because it is tastey in a banana and yogurt smoothie. Today I tried cooking it into pancakes, because I have so much and move through it so slowly, and I don't want it to go bad.

It was tasty, but it would probably be better with white flour (I did it with whole wheat), and no cinnamon.

directions

1. First, put 1 ½ cup flour in a large bowl. Then, add 3 tablespoons sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and a dash of salt. Mix together.

2. Crack two eggs into a small bowl. Make sure there is no eggshell in the bowl. Whisk in eggs and 1 cup milk in bowl. Make your dough soupy, like milk soup.

3. Heat a skillet to medium heat. Drops of water will dance on the skillet.

4. Using a ladle, drip in a small circle of dough. drop 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter onto heated griddle. Repeat, spacing at least 1 inch apart. Cook 1 minute, or until bubbles in batter pop and remain open. Carefully flip pancakes and cook an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.

5.

Transfer to baking sheet in warm oven; repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with butter and syrup or confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Makes 16 small (4-inch) pancakes.

Anna Margaret's Pancakes

Dear Mary,

Here's my family's pancakes recipe:

Mix together:
2 cups flour (I use half white and half whole wheat, but can be any combination, including cornmeal or oatmeal)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup milk powder (or liquid milk later)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Add and mix until crumbly-looking:
1/4 cup oil or melted butter

Stir in:
2 cups water or milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cook in a lightly oiled skillet/frying pan. Flip pancakes when they are bubbly on the top and look solid around the edges.

(serves 3-4)

Happy breakfast!

Love,
Anna Margaret
