{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.

Ki Ngombo = Okra

In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks! The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo . Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything. In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes. I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
