Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes


These buttermilk pancakes are deliciously light and fluffy. By allowing the pancakes plenty of time to set and bubble up as they cook adds to the fluffiness of each pancake.


Don't overmix the batter, this causes the pancakes to go flat and chewy, lumps  are perfectly fine.


Ingredients

2 cups plain flour
2 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1.  Preheat oven to 160°C.

2.  In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, make a well in the centre. Pour buttermilk into the well, then add the eggs, butter and vanilla extract. Gradually whisk everything together until ingredients is incorporated. Don't overmix, lumps are fine. Set aside and rest for 10 minutes.

3.  Meanwhile, heat a non stick frying pan or griddle pan over a low heat for 4 minutes. Brush with some butter, increase heat to medium-low. Pour 1/3 cup batter onto heated pan. Don't overcrowd the pan.

4.  Cook until bubbles appear and edges are set, 2-4 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer cooked pancakes to a wire rack on top of a baking tray and place into the oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter until all mixture is done.


Enjoy with maple syrup.

Aussie Pie Floater

With Australia day fast approaching, I had to share this Aussie icon. The pie floater is a meat pie submerged in thick pea soup, the pies are traditionally turned upside down sitting or sometimes submerged in the pea soup. The first time I had ever heard of this was while watching an episode of Billy Connolly's Australian tour. He was doing a show in Adelaide and indulged in one of these south Aussie icons. We tried a similar thing called a tiger pie from Harry's Cafe de Wheels on the Sydney harbour, the Tiger is a meat pie served with scoop of mash a scoop of mushy peas and a scoop of gravy, it was really delicious.  A pie floater put simply is a meat pie on top of or covered in green pea soup with a choice of sauce squirted on top, the usual being ketchup, brown sauce, mint sauce, gravy or bbq sauce, some people also enjoy vinegar over their floater, I suppose the options can be endless, whatever 'floats' your pie!!. I searched a few variou...

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

  I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see  here  and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked  bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...
