Cooking For Mom…
These are the two recipes Camille, Sophie and I cooked on Global TV. The segment will air Saturday morning around 8:15am.
“Momosa”
Make mom’s morning extra special by serving her a delicious “Momosa” in bed while the pancakes are
cooking !
½ cup fresh strawberries stemmed and cut in half
½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
½ cup ice
½ teaspoon honey
club soda, sparkling water or 7-up
Combine strawberries, orange juice, ice & honey in blender. Blend until smooth and serve in a tall glass garnished with a whole strawberry and a splash of club soda.
Banana Pecan Pancakes with Maple Syrup
My secret in this great kid-friendly, easy to make recipe is the yogurt. It replaces the oil you usually have to add to the mixture to keep the pancakes nice and moist. By using a flavored yogurt you can change it up however you like. Try Blueberry yogurt with fresh blueberries, Lemon Yogurt with fresh strawberries, Coconut Yogurt with toasted pecans etc.
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
¾ cup vanilla yogurt
3 tbsp butter, melted
Dash of freshly grated nutmeg
½ tsp vanilla extract or paste
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
1 large over-ripe banana, smashed with a fork
2 firm bananas and 1 cup of maples syrup
Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda & salt in a large bowl, stirring well to combine. Combine yogurt, 2 tbsp. butter, nutmeg, eggs, pecans, and mashed banana in a small bowl, mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture to the yogurt mixture, stirring until smooth.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake into a hot lightly buttered non-stick pan. Cook 2 minutes or until the tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over; cook 2 more minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.
Slice the 2 firm bananas and add to a sauté pan with 1 tbsp. of melted butter. Sauté until warm, add the maple syrup to heat through and spoon over the hot pancakes. Serve immediately.
