Cinnamon Pancakes



I love cinnamon, the fragrance, the taste and food that contains it.  These pancakes were a natural considering the yearning for more and more cinnamon.

My husband usually turns down pancakes for breakfast and happily has his cereal.  He surprised me, this time, when he heartily agreed to pancakes.  I am, always happy, when we have pancakes so there were two enthusiastic participants, awaiting breakfast.  I debated adding apples to this recipe.  What are apples without cinnamon, what is cinnamon without apples.  Actually cinnamon is just fine without the apples so I stuck to what I expected to be a plain pancake.

Actually, the cinnamon really enhanced the pancakes.  My husband ate them plain and I added a little syrup.  We both left the table, satisfied.

Cinnamon Pancakes (adapted from Taste of Home)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons gluten-free  flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon walnut oil (because I had it on hand...use any oil you want.)
1 teaspoon  pure vanilla extract
Maple syrup (optional)


Method:
In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, oil and vanilla. 

Stir into dry ingredients just until combined.

In a lightly greased skillet, drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls; press lightly to flatten. 

Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Serve with syrup.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
