Kiwi Pancakes Recipes

OAT AND CHIA SEED PANCAKES WITH MANGO, PINEAPPLE AND KIWI

Steps:

• The night before: Combine the oats, chia seeds and 1 cup of the milk in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Combine the kiwis, mango and pineapple in another bowl, drizzle with honey and 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• In the morning: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two kitchen towels stacked on top of each other and place in the oven. This will keep your cooked pancakes warm. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coconut and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Whisk the flour, cornstarch, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, baking soda and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Stir the oat-chia mixture well, then whisk in the remaining 1 cup milk, coconut oil, eggs and vanilla, breaking up any lumps of coconut oil. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until ingredients are just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. Uncover the fruit and let stand at room temperature while you cook the pancakes.
• Wipe the skillet clean and place over medium heat. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, spreading into a 4 1/2-inch round; repeat to make a second pancake. Cook, until pancakes are golden on the bottom and bubbly on top, about 1 minute. Flip the pancakes and cook until undersides are golden and batter is cooked through, about 45 seconds more. Transfer the pancakes to the baking sheet in the oven, tucking them between the kitchen towels. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more pancakes.
• When ready to serve, place 3 pancakes on each plate. Stir the fruit salad and divide it evenly among the pancakes, drizzle with accumulated juices and top with toasted coconut.

KIMCHI PANCAKES

Steps:

• Drain kimchi thoroughly through a sieve and reserve the juice. Chop kimchi finely.
• Combine egg, 3 tablespoons kimchi juice, water, brown sugar, salt, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Whisk together. Add green onions and kimchi. Stir in flour just until combined.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a few spoonfuls of pancake batter; any size pancake will do. Cook until edges are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer pancake to a serving plate and repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle bonito flakes on top.

BLINI (RUSSIAN PANCAKES)

Steps:

• Beat together the milk and the eggs. Stir in the salt and the sugar and mix well. Add the baking soda and citric acid.
• Blend in the flour. Add the vegetable oil and pour in the boiling water, stirring constantly. The batter should be very thin, almost watery. Set the bowl aside and let it rest for 20 minutes.
• Melt a tablespoon of butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Pick the pan up off the heat. Pour in a ladleful of batter while you rotate your wrist, tilting the pan so the batter makes a circle and coats the bottom. The blini should be very thin.
• Return the pan to the heat. Cook the blini for 90 seconds. Carefully lift up an edge of the blini to see if it's fully cooked: the edges will be golden and it should have brown spots on the surface. Flip the blini over and cook the other side for 1 minute.
• Transfer the blini to a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel. Continue cooking the blini, adding an additional tablespoon of butter to the pan after each 4 blini. Stack them on top of each other and cover with the kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Spread your favorite filling in the center of the blini, and fold three times to make a triangle shape. You can also fold up all 4 sides, like a small burrito.
