CMers Recipes

[saman]

well, here is a recipe from my second cousin once removed (?), who says it's the best pancake recipe in the world. i am just passing on the information.

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons baking powder
mix.
add:

one egg.
stir. mixture should be lumpy.
add:

1 cup milk
stir and let sit for about 5 minutes or longer. while its sitting heat a non-stick pan to medium heat, before adding batter stir in about 1 tablespoon of oil. spoon into pan into small to medium sized pancakes (any bigger and they dont cook/flip well) flip once the bubbles have popped and edges look slightly dry. cook the other side for about the same time, dont move them around or you dont get a nice browned look. serve hot with pure maple syrup.

? i don't know if they're soft, and i'm assuming flapjacks and pancakes are the same thing

I've always wondered that... are they?

[don't ask why]

15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil
15 ml (1 tbsp) grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 to 2 ml ( 1/4 to 1/2 tsp) red pepper flakes
450 g (1 lb) carrots (6 to 8 medium), peeled, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 can (398 ml/14-oz) coconut milk
15 ml (1 tbsp) cornstarch
115 g (4 oz) angel-hair pasta
675 g (11/2 lbs) large shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
60 ml ( 1/4 cup) fresh lime juice
Coarse salt
4 scallions, thinly sliced
How to make it:

In a large (3-l/12-cup) saucepan over medium-low heat, heat oil. Add ginger, garlic and pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, coconut milk and 750 ml (3 cups) water.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 30 ml (2 tbsp) water until smooth; stir into mixture in pot. Bring to a boil.
Break pasta in half; add to pot. Return to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until pasta is al dente and carrots are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add shrimp; stir until opaque, about 1 minute. Remove pot from heat and stir in lime juice; season to taste with salt.
Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with scallions.

I substituted linguini instead of angel-hair pasta. If you choose to do that, cook the pasta separately for 4-5 minutes so the starch doesn't bleed out.

soozy can they be the thick pancakes? we always call them the real ones as you cook them slowly on a medium heat and they rise in the process. they take about 15 minutes to cook but they are soft. I think though you are looking for the thin ones no?

This comes up in a flapjacks search and is what I expected!

[Kathy]

Now that I look at all of the search images that came up, over half of them look like your picture!

Maybe another word that changed meaning when it crossed the ocean?
