Sorghum Pancake

  

 Fluffy, naturally sweet pancakes whipped up using sorghum flour, mashed bananas, and a hint of cinnamon. Drizzled with pure maple syrup or honey, this nutritious stack works wonderfully as a hearty, sweet weekend breakfast or late-night dessert.

Ingredients

Dry Mix

1 ½cups sorghum/ jowar flour 204 gm

2 tbsp granulated sugar

2 tsp baking pdr

½ tsp salt

Wet Mix

4 tbsp salted butter melted

1 cup buttermilk @ room temperature

1 tsp vanilla 

2 large eggs

½ cup water

 

Preparations

Whisk together the dry mix ingredients in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.  Place a nonstick skillet on a burner and preheat it over medium low heat while you continue to make the wet mix.

Combine all the wet mix ingredients in another mixing bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.  It may look curdled or slightly chunky; that's normal.

Test the pan by flicking in a few drops of water.  If they immediately sizzle, the pan is ready.  Pour the wet mix into the well of the dry mix and whisk until well combined.  The batter should be easily pourable; if it is too thick, add ¼ cup of water and whisk it into the batter thoroughly.

Add batter to the pan approximately ¼ cup at a time.  Cook each pancake on one side until the bubbles that appear in the batter burst and stay open, then flip to cook on the other side until the pancake puffs up in the middle.  Repeat with the rest of the batter.  Note: the pan may start to get too hot as it continues to heat.  If pancakes are over-browning before they cook through, lower the heat slightly.

Remove cooked pancakes to a plate and cover to keep warm, or place in a warm oven until all pancakes are cooked.  Serve immediately.

Apple-Plum-Raisins-Sunflower Egg-less Cake

I wanted to try this cake since some days. My own idea. Plums were not too sweet, I chopped and mixed them with sugar, along with finely chopped apples.

Ingredients

plums 5 finely chopped

apple 1/2 finely chopped, both the fruits were mixed with sugar well and soaked for almost 2 1/2 hours. 

raisins washed and soaked 2 tbsp, mixed with the fruits

sunflower seeds 2 -3 tbsp

all purpose flour about 3/4 cup

baking pdr 1 tsp

baking soda 3/4 tsp

salt little

banana mashed 2 tbsp

sugar 1/2 cup or as needed

vanilla essence 1 tsp

coconut oil 2 tbsp +

milk 2 tbsp

curd 1 tbsp

 

Preparations

in bowl I added the soaked fruits

added baking pdr and baking soda with salt to the fruits, it just started expanding, that I had to shift it to a bigger bowl

then added oil, milk,  flour about 3 heaped tsp at a time, mixing well, added sugar ,added more flour mixed well, continued till I got the desired consistency which should be thinner than the normal cake batter

added essence and seeds, mixed well.

greased 2 micro-safe glass plates, poured the mixture, micro high for 4 minutes, after 1 plate was done, I baked the second plate for 4 minutes.

once removed, with a knife turned around the corners, the cake easily came out when I tapped it onto a plate, cooled a little, then cut into pieces. 

due to slightly sour plum,when you get the plum pieces  mixed with the sweetness of the cake, it tastes better.

One-bowl banana bread, Egg-less

 Ingredients

Ripe bananas 2 mash with rest of the ingredients in the order

Sugar 1/3 cup

Oil 1/3 cup

All purpose flour 1 cup

Baking pdr 1 tsp

vanilla essence 1/2 tsp 

Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 C for 45 minutes 

 

NOTE- As the size of the ovens vary, so too voltage, I request you to keep a watch on your cake right from 15 minutes on wards if your oven is small, bigger will take around 30-40 minutes depending on the size. Best is to keep an alarm accordingly. Mostly you can smell the cake once it is done. Good luck.

 

NOTE 2- I gave my small OTG due to lack of space in my kitchenette here. I bake cakes in my microwave. If I bake in the glass plate to cover the micro-safe dish, then I need just 3 1/2 minutes. But the batter should be more flowing than the normal cake batter, then you'll get a real soft cake.

Cloud Bread is the Latest Food Trend and it is Delicious - No Carbs

I didn't think it possible to prepare bread with no carbs, but this recipe proved me wrong. Known as cloud bread, this carb, and gluten-free bread is soft, airy and fluffy, and so delicious - it practically melts in your mouth. It is an ideal replacement for traditional homemade bread, and it is also high in protein. 

So how do you make it? 

All you need is three ingredients: eggs, cream cheese and cream of tartar. The recipe below includes a couple of optional ingredients too - bits of rosemary were added for a more flavorful kick. The result? Patty-shaped bread, or as the name implies, clouds.

Ingredients  

3 eggs, separated 

3 tbsp cream cheese 

1/4 tsp baking powder (or cream of tartar) 

Optional:  

1 tbsp of honey (or a natural sweetener) 

Salt 

Garlic Powder 

Rosemary

Instructions:  

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Meanwhile, separate the eggs, removing the yolk from the white. 

2. In one bowl, mix the egg yolks, cream cheese, and honey until smooth. 

3. In the second bowl, add 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (or cream of tartar if using) to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy, with firm peaks. The egg whites should have a whipped cream consistency. 

4. Then, fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites carefully and slowly, retaining, as much as possible the fluffiness of the egg whites. Do not let the mixture melt. 

 5. Spoon the mixture into 10-12 even rounds on a baking sheet and sprinkle with rosemary (if using) and put in the oven. 

6. Bake the bread for 17 to 20 minutes on the middle rack, then broil for 1 minute until they become golden brown. 

7. Remove from the oven, leave to cool and enjoy. 

Storage: Cloud bread may be stored in a container for three days on the counter and seven days in the refrigerator. It can also be stored in the freezer. 

Enjoy! This guilt-free treat works great as a hamburger bun or sandwich bread. You can toast it and enjoy with jam for a tasty breakfast.
