Foodie Friday: Banana & blueberry pancakes

Nothing says “the weekend” like homemade pancakes for breakfast! This easy recipe from Australian Bananas puts a delicious (and healthy) twist on a traditional batch.

Makes: 12 |  Prep: 20 mins  |  Cooking: 25 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups plain flour
  • 1 ½ tbs baking powder
  • ¼ cup caster sugar
  • ¼ tsp sea salt flakes, crushed
  • 600ml buttermilk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 60g butter, melted plus extra for greasing
  • 4 Cavendish bananas
  • 125g blueberries
  • Thick greek yoghurt, extra banana slices & honey to serve

Method

  1. Sift the flour and baking powder together into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and salt.
  2. Combine the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract and melted butter in a jug. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined.
  3. Set the batter aside for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Brush base with extra melted butter.
  5. Grease 3 x 11cm ring moulds with spray oil and place into the pan.
  6. Fill each ring mould with a 1/3 cup of the batter and spread evenly in the moulds.
  7. Press a few blueberries into each pancake then top with a few slices of banana.
  8. Cook pancakes for 4 minutes or until the underside is golden and the top surface forms bubbles. Carefully remove the ring mould.
  9. Turn the pancakes over and cook a further 3-4 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove to a board. Repeat with remaining batter, berries and bananas.
  10. Serve warm topped with yoghurt, banana and a drizzle of honey.

Tips

  • Buttermilk is low-fat and makes light fluffy pancakes. If you don’t have buttermilk you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice to 250ml (1 cup) full cream milk.
  • To reheat pancakes, place between baking paper and warm in a sandwich press.
  • If you don’t have rind moulds, spoon 1/3 cup of batter per pancake into greased frying pan.
  • These are great packed in a lunch box as a snack, cut pancakes into 4 wedges, sandwich 2 together with a little cream cheese.

Foodie Friday: Spelt crepes with mulled wine poached pears

foodie friday logo

This week’s recipe is by Jennifer Jenner, photographer, stylist and commercial recipe developer. She blogs unprocessed, allergy-friendly recipes with a creative twist over on 84th & 3rd.

Jennifer says: ” I am unapologetically addicted to brunch. There’s something so perfect about a meal that can be eaten any time from mid-morning well into the afternoon — and to me, brunch has always carried a relaxed connotation. The weather in Sydney at the moment is still unseasonably warm, however the gradually cooler evenings are a persistent reminder that winter is well on the way. There are few better ways to hide away from the cold than with hot mulled wine — and using it for brunch may be one of the best ideas I’ve had in ages!”

DSC_0159-800-w

Serves 4

Ingredients

For the crepes:
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk (370ml)
  • 3/4 cup water (187ml)
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tsp oil
  • 1 1/2 cups white spelt flour (165g)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
For the pears:
  • 4 firm pears
    1 cup red wine (250ml)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice (125ml)
  • 2 cups strong tea (500ml)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 5 whole cloves
  • 5 black peppercorns
  • 1 slice fresh ginger
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup (40ml)

Method

To make the crepe batter whisk together milk, water, eggs and oil. Add dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Allow batter to rest while you make the pears.

Peel pears, cut in half and remove core. Place in a medium saucepan with all remaining ingredients (wine through syrup) and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a very low simmer and cook for approximately 20 minutes until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.

If you have time, cool pears in poaching liquid before removing – if not remove while hot – then bring poaching liquid back to the boil. Boil 20-30 minutes until syrupy and reduced to about 1 cup. Pour a spoonful or two of the syrup over the pears and strain the rest into a serving jug.

Preheat a crepe pan or non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and wipe with a lightly oiled paper towel. Pour in a scant 1/4 cup crepe batter and swirl pan to coat evenly. Cook 90 seconds, flip and cook a further 90 seconds. Repeat process until all batter has been used.

To serve, fold crepes in quarters and stack 3 or 4 on a plate. Top crepes with slices of poached pear, mulled wine syrup, and a dollop of yoghurt/coconut cream/ice cream/whipped ricotta if you wish.

Cook’s notes

  • Black tea or chai tea work well, but for a deeper red colour use a fruit tea that contains hibiscus flowers.
  • Wine can be substituted with an equal quantity of tea or fruit juice. If using juice you may want to reduce the maple syrup.
  • Pears and crepe batter can both be made in advance – reheat pears in syrup before serving, allow batter to sit at room temperature for 30 mins before cooking.
