{Gluten-Free} Banana Buckwheat Pancakes

The boys needed something hearty to start their day. They will be smashing tile, loading boxes, and making a run to the dump later this morning as they help Daddy with the house remodel.

"This is not a relaxing summer vacation!" wailed the Wom this morning.

I know. How about some pancakes?

Pancakes always brighten his day. And, I have to admit that I can't make regular fluffy pancakes to save my life. But, oddly, I have made these gluten-free pancakes a few times and they are a hit. Every. Single. Time.

Ingredients makes eighteen 3" pancakes

4 medium overripe bananas
2 eggs
2 C milk
1 C gluten-free flour blend
1 C buckwheat flour
1 T baking powder
3 T organic granulated sugar
1 t pure vanilla extract
butter for cooking

Procedure

Smash bananas in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Add in the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Stir until just moistened.

Melt butter in a large, flat-bottom pan over low heat. Drop 1/3 C batter into pan and cook until the edges firm up. Flip and cook for another minute. Serve immediately.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
