Pile of Lemon Pancakes



Very often we have to start shoots early in the morning at the workshop. My best trick to make sure everyone gets here on tome is to text them that I will be making pancakes for everyone. This last time we had a bit of a surplus of lemons and a case of little bottles of maple syrup we hadn't even opened yet. I figured it was time to make everyone Lemon Pancakes.

While we were at it I decided to take a survey with everyone to find out how they liked this new brand of maple syrup. The brand name is Stonewall Kitchen and it's labeled as 100% New England Maple Syrup. I have to tell you that it has become one of our favorites we've ever reviewed. It had a very pleasing dark color that can only come from being cooked the old fashioned way, without rushing it. It was sweet without hurting your teeth so it allowed the lemon zest in the pancakes to come through.

The batter I used was my go to simple griddle cake batter. Here is the recipe I used. I hope you try it and love it.

As we always say a picture is worth 1000 words so send us a picture of how your pancakes turned out to my facebook page or instagram.

Ingredients:

1 Cup All Purpose Vegan Wheat Flour (Sometimes I use gluten free but not this time)

2 Tablespoons Raw Sugar

2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil (Peanut oil is my favorite if I'm using nuts in the batter)

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1 Cup Almond Milk

1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

1/2 Cup Pecans finely chopped

Instructions:

1. Use a large bottle with a good lid and pour all the ingredients in it

2. Screw on the lid and shake vigorously for a few minutes until everything is well combined

3. It's very important to let the batter rest for a few minutes

4. Heat up the griddle to medium

5. Pour the batter in same sized increments directly from the bottle to the griddle

6. When the pancake starts to bubble and burst it's time to flip

7. Cook for a couple of extra minutes and serve warm with the maple syrup or favorite toppings

Note:

You can keep the pancakes warm in the oven until you are ready to serve. Some of our favorite toppings include chopped fruit, marmalade or Mexican Chocolate shavings.

Pesto Pizza with Pizzazz

Last week was a very busy week setting up the workshop for a series of cooking videos that will be coming up in the next few months. It left the crew tired and very hungry at the end of the day so when someone suggested ordering a pizza, I knew it was time to spring into action. While everyone was arguing about the toppings and which restaurants had vegan options I went to the fridge and took out some of the dough I keep for just an occasion. The dough is very simple. If you are like me, you’ll keep some on hand in the fridge or in the freezer where it can last for months. In a few minutes the smell of fresh pizza permeated through the shop and everyone was munching on fresh pizza that satisfied everyone since they got to pick exactly the toppings they wanted. Ingredients: Quick Dough: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 Tbs sea salt 1/2 cup filtered water 1 Tbs coconut milk (family’s secret ingredient) Pesto: 1 bunch of basil 3 garlic cloves 1/4 Tbs sa...

Esquites - The Best Street Food I Grew Up With

Whenever I've visited México, one of the first things I look for is the street vendors who sell Esquites. To see the care that goes into one of these little cups is nothing short of wondrous. Each vendor has their own way to prepare them as there are long discussions among our family as to who has the best ones. Unfortunately, many of the ingredients offered are not plant based like the crema or the cheese so when I'm home in San Francisco, I can't help but make my own, This is how I usually prepare mine but feel free to experiment with different layers. If you tried and you liked them, send me a picture on facebook or instagram . Ingredients: 2 Ears of fresh corn 1 Avocado 2 Limes 1/2 Cup pressed and diced tofu 1/4 Cup vegan mayonnaise My ready to go Red Salsa My ready to go Green Salsa Salt Pepper Instructions: 1. Roast the ears of corn in the oven or if you have the grill on, it's even better when you char them. 2. Slice the kernels o...
