Pancakes Pancakes. How many forms?

There are so many different recipes for puffy pancakes, Japanese style pancakes and so forth, and they are all available to follow with and posted in YOUTube, too.  Very convenient and helpful.  Make the cooking more like a science project and experimental.  Make the failure like, "Ta. Da!"  Let's do it again.  But I sure wished this Blogger app never went away.  I sure am not going with some other app, but the Blogger app was definitely so convenient.  So much for that.  This recipe is found in the YouTube.  They were talking about the funfair puffy pancakes very popular in Japan.  I wanted to check out the technique to make it a taller pancake.

Pretty thick batter.    I want to see if using a cake pan with parchment paper and baking in the oven would work?  It says to bake in the oven... really?

Here we go with some for the oven.

These are on the iron skillet.  Also to be baked in the oven.

And the instruction says to pour some more batter on the top.... waaa... it does not look good.  Maybe I am pouring the extra a bit too late.  'Timing' is everything...  The bottom is already too dry?

 

    

           

 

These are the different batch of pancakes tested on the griddle.  Looks much promising.

They are pretty puffy to me.  I would not compare mine to the pancakes being cooked at commercial vendor.  Who knows what's in those batter mix... hmmn?

Looks pretty good to me.

Pour some Bourbon Maple Syrup.

YUMM!!

One single big pancake.

Happy Pancake!

Weekend Cherry Picking Adventure

Great mild weather for cherry picking at Nunn's cherry farm.

Asian Style Bread with Protein

Homebaked Madeleines

Madeleines are one of cookies that many people really enjoy eating - that is most of the time purchased from COSTCO in this clear plastic box and individually wrapped.  After purchasing them year after year during the holiday season, I finally gave it a try baking in the madeleine mold that I had stored away for a long time.  The recipe ingredients are very simple, but its all about the technique one might say.  So, if you want a fine crumb madeleine, beat the butter in room temperature until pale yellow instead of melted butter.

A perfect egg shaped scoop for the job.

Wow! done.

Got to learn to take them out quick to prevent peeling

Very light.

Extra doughs went in the cupcake molds.  I wonder why they don't make Madeleine molds with 24 cups.

Very good with a cup of milk.
