Kale Chips
In Zimbabwe, everyone and their mother has some kale and collard greens growing in their gardens. It’s something I grew up eating and, it wasn’t really because of its nutrition, but because it is an easy vegetable to grow.
Nothing like some good ol’ homemade pancakes for breakfast. My picky lil man ‘does not mind’ them LOL and hubby loves pancakes, but only wants to have them once in a while. I, on the other hand, can have pancakes as often as possible but it wouldn’t take long until it showed in all the wrong places – if you know what I mean (wink-wink). So we’ve I’ve settled for at the most, once weekly, preferably on the weekends when everyone is home to have breakfast together.
My pancake making process is not the best one. The pan I use is not big enough to hold more than two. Sometimes I even make one at a time because I don’t want to crowd them. Nothing more annoying than having a batch of cold pancakes when you’re finally ready to sit and enjoy your breakfast. So to keep them warm, I stick them in the oven at the lowest heat setting and cover with foil paper.
You can also freeze pancakes for those days when you don’t feel like mixing up the batter. Something I have not yet done but the Pioneer Woman has here. She also shows us how to reheat them as well.
I also make a pancake mix which I put together by just mixing up a large quantity of the dry ingredients. The next time I need to make pancakes, all I need is to put together the wet ingredients, add the pancake mix and voila. Saves me a little bit of time and a couple of dirty dishes.
I quadruple the quantities in my basic recipe and store in an airtight container.
Here’s my recipe for crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside pancakes:
