Homemade Low Carb Pancakes Recipe

If you are looking for a healthy low carb pancake recipe, you are in the right place. I have always loved making and eating homemade pancakes but they are usually fat and not too healthy. And that is why I decided to look for something healthier and more nutritious. And I have found the recipe for a fluffy and healthy low carb pancakes.

The pancakes are light and delicious and what is the most important thing about them is that they do not contain flour. They are gluten-free and dairy-free. To make them I used oats which I grinded in the coffee grinder. Low carb pancakes are easy to make and they are low in calories compared to the traditional ones. To top these tasty pancakes I used a sugar-free maple syrup. The taste was amazing and I had a double certainty that I eat something nutritious and low in calories. Here is the recipe for these delicious homemade low carb pancakes:

Home-Made Chicken Nuggets Recipe

Why should anyone bother to make their own Chicken Nuggets, when they can buy them conveniently ready made? Even ready cooked as a fast food take-away. Well, chicken is usually a meat that most kids will eat and for some reason a coating of breadcrumbs makes it even more appealing. If you are concerned with what goes into processed and ready packaged food in the way of preservatives and additives though, you might like to produce your own chicken nuggets for those occasions when your children demand comfort food. These home-made chicken nuggets taste much nicer than bought ones and you know exactly what's in them - that there are no unwanted preservatives, that it really is chicken, if you have a source of affordable organic chicken you can use that and they will also be really fresh.

The preparation time isn't that long, about ten minutes, but the chicken nuggets cook crispier if they have a little drying time in the fridge before frying (yes I did say frying, let's live dangerously on one dietary front!) so the first stage can be done up to two hours before cooking, when you have ten minutes to spare. After that the cooking time is very quick. The quality of the breadcrumbs does make a difference. Fresh, slightly dry, crumbs are definitely better than those powdery packets of 'golden' crumbs that you can buy. On the occasions when I'm being a zealous and organised mother, I whizz up stale (but not mouldy) white bread in the food processor and keep a freezer bag full in the freezer. Hopefully that will last until the next bout of housewifeliness hits me. If you don't have a ready prepared stash of crumbs, whizz up a white roll from the freezer to make crumbs and spread them on a plate to dry slightly.

Chicken Nuggets Recipe

Home-Made Chicken Nuggets Recipe

450g/1lb Chicken breast fillets

30g/1oz plain flour

¼ teaspoon Chicken spice mix (optional or substitute your favourite spice)

¼ teaspoon salt

1 egg

3-4 handfuls of breadcrumbs

These quantities are a rough guide, increase or reduce them according to how much chicken you want to cook.

Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Get four bowls or plates. The first for the sieved flour with mixed in a pinch of chicken spice, salt and pepper. The second for the egg, beaten with a pinch of salt and half a tablespoon water or vegetable oil. The third for the breadcrumbs. The last is to put the finished nuggets on.

Dip each piece of chicken, first in the flour mix so it is coated, shake off any excess. Next into the egg and lastly roll it in the breadcrumbs before laying it on the plate to dry. As you work through all the pieces your fingers will get a thick coating on too, resembling chicken nuggets themselves. When all the chicken pieces are coated put the plate uncovered in the fridge to dry and crisp up a bit. This can be for as little as ten minutes but an hour or two is better.
To cook, heat up approx 3 tablespoons sunflower / vegetable oil in a wide frying pan. When hot add as many nuggets as will fit without crowding. Turn when golden on one side. When all sides are cooked remove onto kitchen paper to drain off some oil. As soon as they are all cooked serve while hot.

You could do the same thing with strips of fish to make your own fish fingers and gain the supermom of the year award! Having said that you do need to have something ready-made as a standby in the freezer for those days when cooking supper is too much and bought fish fingers have that slot in our house.

Homemade Southern Corn Fritters

This is a traditional corn fritter recipe that is super simple and hard to mess up! Corn fritters are soft in the center and a little bit crispy on the edges, which makes them absolutely addictive! Economical, easy to prepare and quick to cook, naturally, they are a staple found on quite a few Southern dining tables.

A basic corn fritter recipe consists of fresh or de-thawed yellow corn kernels, eggs, milk, melted butter and flour. That is it. Simple ingredients list, huh? Despite the simple components, they can be prepared in many different ways: deep fried, gently browned with a bit of oil in a cast iron fry pan, or baked in the oven.

\"smoothie Recipes\"

I like to eat corn fritters with honey, jam or maple syrup in the morning. But, if I am frying them up to go with ham or chicken then putting a pat of butter on them is good. In fact, my mom and I just prepared them for lunch and put goat cheese and red peppers on top. Yum!

Homemade Southern Corn Fritters

Ingredients:

two cups flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

one teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 tsp paprika or black pepper

one cup of low-fat milk

2 eggs

2 tablespoons of room temperature or melted butter (shortening works, too)

1 1/2 cups of fresh, uncooked corn kernels or thawed out and drained corn kernels

To make the fritters:

Mix the dry ingredients in a little bowl until evenly and thoroughly mixed (this will ensure that the baking powder is well distributed in the flour) and then set off to one side while you prepare the rest of the recipe. In another bowl, lightly beat the two eggs then add the milk and butter and stir.

After that, stir in the dry ingredients and blend until all big lumps are gone. It's acceptable for the mixture to have minimal, pea size lumps. The main thing you need to be sure of is to never over blend the ingredients, or the mix could easily get "gummy".

After the wet and dry items are mixed together stir in the corn kernels. Remember, do not over stir.

Pour the oil inside of a fry pan to deep fry or add a few tablespoons of oil to a cast iron skillet to lightly cook and brown the fritters. Heat the oil until a drop of water dripped into the oil forms a soft ball. Never let the oil heat to the point of smoking.

Drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil and cook for 3-5 minutes or until such time as golden brown. Take out the fritters with a slotted spoon and simply let them drain onto paper towels or brown groceries bags. Serve warm.

I hope you enjoy corn fritters at least as much as I do!

How To Make Homemade Dinner Rolls From Scratch

A few years ago, my mother in law was gracious enough to share with me her recipe to make these easy and delicious homemade dinner rolls. You can make them any time of the year or just for special family dinners. You can freeze them (once baked) for up to 3 months in your freezer and then reheat in the oven (for 3-4 minutes) or the microwave for 1-2 minutes once thawed.

Homemade Tasty Dinner Rolls Recipe

\"smoothie Recipes\"

2 packages (envelopes) dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (not hot water)
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon table salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup melted butter
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
vegetable grease

How To Make Homemade Dinner Rolls From Scratch

In a measuring cup, dissolve the dry yeast in warm water. Pour yeast mixture into a mixing bowl and add in the granulated sugar, salt, egg, butter and 1 cup of your all-purpose flour. Mix the dough well. If needed, stir in a little more of the all-purpose flour to make a soft dough.

Shape the dough into a large ball. Lightly grease all sides of the ball and then return your dough ball back to your mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let it rise until it has doubled in size. Punch down the dough and shape into smaller balls and let rise for 20-30 additional minutes.

Place balls onto a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 9 to 13 minutes or until golden brown and done.

Serving Suggestions: Serve rolls slightly warm with a pat of butter, honey butter, jam or fruit preserves.
