Everyday Adventures #3

  • Posted on July 27, 2012 at 8:30 pm

Yesterday’s adventure was of the culinary variety, I tried out a new recipe! I made corn and potato cakes using a recipe from ‘A Vegan Taste of Thailand’ by Linda Majzlik (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vegan-Taste-Thailand-Cookbooks/dp/1897766920). I have many recipe books, but tend to stick to the same few meals, so I think I will be trying new food as an adventure quite often!

The corn and potato cakes were very good and simple to make. They were quite garlicky though, so definitely one to eat once I’ve switched the phone off for the day! I think I will make these again, and try some more recipes from this book.

Vegan Pancake Day!

  • Posted on March 8, 2011 at 1:15 pm

Hey! It’s Pancake Tuesday! If you needed an excuse to pig out on pancakes, this is it! Not that I usually need an excuse…

“But Steph! You’re vegan! Vegans don’t eat pancakes!”

Oh yes they do! Not your eggy, buttery, milky pancakes – true. They eat scrummy vegan pancakes drizzled with golden syrup!

Here’s the vegan pancake recipe I use, it works!

 
 175ml / 6fl oz soya milk (4fl oz for thick pancakes)
175ml / 6fl oz water (4fl oz for thick pancakes)
175g / 6oz plain flour

2 tablespoons chickpea flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon sunflower oil (not necessary for thick pancakes)

pinch of salt

additional oil for frying

maple or golden syrup, fruit, soya ice cream, sugar, jam or lemon juice to serve

 Pancakes:

  1. Whisk together all of the ingredients to form a smooth batter.   

  2. Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan until very hot. Add enough of the batter to coat the bottom of the pan, or spoon in for thick pancakes.   

  3. Fry on one side for about a minute, flip with a spatula, fry flip side for a further minute or until done.   

  4. Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven on its lowest setting. Repeat steps 2 and 3, adding more oil if necessary.   

  5. Serve drizzled with golden or maple syrup, jam, fruit and soya ice cream, or sugar and lemon juice.
