Bonnies Pepperoni Pancakes Recipes

BLINI - RUSSIAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix eggs, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Add milk, flour, and oil. Mix until batter is smooth and thin.
• Heat 2 small nonstick skillets over medium heat. Lightly oil the skillets. Pour in enough batter to just cover the bottom of each skillet. Tilt the pans to spread batter evenly.
• Lift the blini carefully when edges start to brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is browned, about 1 minute more. Stack blini on a plate.

EASY BLINI (RUSSIAN PANCAKE)

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
• Whisk 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon melted butter together in a separate bowl. Mix into the flour mixture until batter is fully combined.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Drop batter, 1 tablespoon at a time, onto the heated skillet. Cook until bubbles form, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until brown, about 1 minute more. Lay on plate lined with a paper towel to help soak up excess butter. Repeat with the remaining batter.

BONNIE'S EASY POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• HOW TO MAKE THE MASHED POTATOES: Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks, and then put the potatoes in a large pot with water and bring to a boil. TIP: At this point, you can turn off the burner, and you can put a lid on them and set them aside for a half hour, don't peek and they will cook by sitting. If you are in a hurry go ahead and lower heat to medium and cook until done.
• Add the butter, chopped green onions, sour cream and salt and pepper to taste, using just a splash or more of milk to get the consistency you want. Mashed potatoes should be on the firm side, not soupy because you need them firm to make potato pancakes. They also need to be well-seasoned.
• These potatoes are now ready to serve with a meal or to refrigerate to make potato pancakes later.
• HOW TO MAKE THE POTATO PANCAKES: It is important to start with chilled mashed potatoes. Put a little flour, about a cup, in a paper plate. Take an ice cream scoop and scoop up the chilled mashed potatoes. Lay the scoop of potatoes on the flour, gently turn the scoop of potatoes over to coat. With your fingers pat the pancake ball down to about a 3/4 inch patty, turning one more time. The pancake should be covered with flour. I scoop and dredge the pancakes as I fry them in small batches. Using a scoop is an easy non-messy way of getting uniform sized potato pancakes.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan with 2 or 3 tablespoons of corn oil over medium heat, drop a few drops of water in it, it will sizzle and pop when it is hot enough to fry the pancake. Drop the floured pancake in the hot oil. Don't turn it until it is nice and brown, then flip and brown the other side. When nicely browned, serve immediately. Enjoy!

PEPPERONI PASTA WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, according to package directions, until about 2 minutes shy of al dente so that the pasta can finish cooking in the sauce. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium. Add pepperoni and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisped and brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• If the pan looks dry, drizzle in a little more oil. Add garlic, fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes (if using) and a large pinch of salt, and cook until garlic is lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook until it darkens, about 1 minute.
• Add the drained pasta, lemon zest and 3/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to the skillet. Stir until the pasta is al dente and well coated with the sauce. Add more pasta water, if needed, until the sauce is glossy and the pasta is cooked to taste.
• Cut the zested lemon in half and squeeze some juice into the pasta. Stir in herbs and taste, adding more lemon juice and salt, if needed. Cut the remaining half lemon into wedges and serve it alongside the pasta, which should be garnished with more herbs and a drizzle of oil, and sprinkled with Parmesan, if you like.
