Pancakes with honeydew honey


Ingredients
  • 125 grams of White wheat all-purpose flour
  • 25 grams of Butter
  • 1 dash of Table salt
  • 2 Egg
  • 200 milliliters of Whole milk
  • 6 grams of Dry baker's yeast
  • 15 grams of Sugar
  • 4 teaspoons of Honey, honeydew honey



Directions
  • Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the yolks in a bowl and, mixing with a fork, add the milk and melted butter. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly and then add the combined yeast and flour, already sieved.
  • Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks along with a pinch of salt and the sugar, then gently fold them into the milk, egg, butter and flour mixture.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed non-stick pan of around 10/12cm in diameter over a medium flame and brush it with a knob of butter. Pour a ladle of pancake batter into the middle of the pan and allow it to spread out and settle: when the pancake is golden, flip it using a fish slice or spatula, then cook until golden on the other side too.
  • As soon the pancakes are cooked, remove from the pan and stack them one on top of another on a plate, serving them hot, drizzled all over with honeydew honey. You can serve the pancakes accompanied with fruits of the forest or other fruit.

Kimchi Pancake


Ingredients
  • .5 cup of White wheat all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of  Kimchi, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons of  Kimchi juice
  • .5 cup of Water
  • .25 teaspoon of Sugar
  • .25 teaspoon of Table salt
  • 2 tablespoons of Canola oil


Directions
  • Take a large bowl and combine kimchi, flour, kimchi juice, water, sugar, and salt. The batter will look fairly thick. 
  • In a large nonstick pan (just trust me), heat oil over medium- medium-high heat. If you are used to using minimal oil for cooking you may be shocked, as I was, by how much oil is involved, but this is really crucial. (Coming from someone who tried to make low-fat pancakes and failed a bunch of times). 
  • When the pan is hot, spread the batter thinly over the pan and press down with a spatula to approximately 1/3″ thickness. It will sizzle.
  • Flip over after about 2 minutes or when one side is completely crispy and browned. To test, just take the pan handle and shake it a little bit. Pancake should slide easily. 
  • Cook the other side for a few minutes until done and serve immediately with a simple dipping sauce. (1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar, some sesame seeds, green onions if desired).

  • 1 tablespoon of Powdered sugar
  • 400 grams of Nutella®
  • 300 grams of Cream cheese
  • 10 grams of Gelatin
  • 25 grams of Water

Directions
  • Grease a non-stick 20 cm (8 inch) cake springform with removable sides.
  • Mix biscuits (could be chocolate or any other kind you prefer) with butter and powder sugar in a small bowl – the mixture should look like moist sand/crumbs. Transfer to the prepared springform and spread evenly on the bottom of the pan. Use a flat-bottomed glass to press the biscuit mixture over the base of the tin. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
  • For the filling: place 10 grams (1 sachet) of gelatine in a small heatproof bowl with 25 ml. water and let it sit for a few minutes. Place the bowl with the gelatine over a small saucepan with simmering water. Let the gelatine heats until liquid smooth, crystal clear like water, only little yellowish. Set aside. In a large bowl combine the cream cheese and nutella, beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the gelatine to the nutella mixture and beat for another minute until gelatine distributes evenly throughout the nutella mixture. Pour the mixture over the biscuit layer. Put back in the fridge for 6 hours (or overnight) to firm up. Before serving, gently remove the sides of the cake springform.
  • Serve with candied hazelnuts, shredded chocolate or other decorations of your choice.
