Mushroom Hotcakes Pancakes Recipes

VEGAN TOMATO & MUSHROOM PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift the flours and a pinch of salt into a blender. Add the soya milk and blend to make a smooth batter.
• Heat a little oil in a medium non-stick frying pan until very hot. Pour about 3 tbsp of the batter into the pan and cook over a medium heat until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake. Flip the pancake over with a palette knife and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm as you go. You will make about 8.
• For the topping, heat the oil in a frying pan. Cook the mushrooms until tender, add the tomatoes and cook for a couple of mins. Pour in the soya cream or milk and pine nuts, then gently cook until combined. Divide the pancakes between 2 plates, then spoon over the tomatoes and mushrooms. Scatter with chives.

MUSHROOM PANCAKES

Steps:

• Wash and pat dry the mushrooms. Saute all mushrooms in 1 teaspoon of oil until cooked, add fresh herbs and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside, when cool add flour, beaten egg, and chopped fresh herbs. Stir to combine well. Add about 3 tablespoons of oil onto the skillet and drop spoonfuls of mushroom batter (about 3 inches) into the oil. Fry, turning once, until both sides are lightly golden. Add more oil, if necessary, to fry the remaining batter. (Please note because different flour absorbs different amounts of liquid you may need to add more flour.)

MUSHROOM HOTCAKES/PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan (skillet) over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes stirring often until the mushrooms are tender and all moisture has evaporated.
• Remove to a plate lined with paper towel and set aside to cool.
• Wipe pan clean.
• Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
• Whisk buttermilk and eggs in a jug with a fork until well combined.
• Stir buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients until combined.
• Stir in mushrooms and chives (mixture should be the consistency of light sour cream, add more buttermilk if required).
• Brush frying pan with a little of the oil and heat over medium heat until hot.
• Using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per hotcake, spoon mixture into pan and cook for about 2 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surgace and then turn hotcakes and cook for a further 1 to 2 minutes or until golden (you should be able to cook about 3 to 4 at a time).
• Keep warm (in the oven) while cooking the remaining batter.
• Serve - suggestions given are reduced fat cream cheese or a dollop of tomato chutney and cottage cheese.

CRISPY CHICKPEA PANCAKES WITH ROASTED MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Make the pancake batter: Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and gradually whisk in the chickpea flour in small amounts to avoid lumps. Add the salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons oil, and whisk again until smooth. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream. If it's too thick, whisk in more warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time. If the batter is lumpy, use an immersion blender or blender to get it nice and smooth. Set the batter aside at room temperature for about 2 hours.
• Make the topping: Position racks near the top and bottom of the oven, and heat oven to 450 degrees. Roughly chop or tear the mushrooms and toss with 2 tablespoons oil and the kosher salt on a sheet pan. Spread the mushrooms in an even layer and roast on the top rack for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned, mixing the mushrooms midway so they cook evenly.
• Meanwhile, make the pancakes: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in an 8- or 9-inch frying pan with an ovenproof handle over medium. When the oil is hot, swirl it to evenly coat the bottom of the pan and pour in half the chickpea batter. It should be about ¼ inch deep. When the bottom is set, after about 1 minute, slide the pan onto the lower oven rack and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp, but the center is still tender. Use a spatula to release the edges and slide it onto a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the remaining batter.
• Tear the radicchio leaves into bite-size pieces, then add to the sheet pan of slightly cooled mushrooms along with the vinegar and remaining tablespoon oil. Season with the flaky salt and black pepper, and mix well. Cut the pancakes into squares, transfer to serving plates, top with the mushroom mix and eat while still warm.
