Wild Mushroom Pancakes
This recipe is based on one from Clarissa Dickson Wright’s and Jennifer Paterson’s book, Cooking with the Two Fat Ladies. The intro says, “When you have risen from your tent and gathered your mushrooms, this is an easy breakfast dish. You can even make the batter the night before. If there are no mushrooms, just have pancakes.” Prep time doesn’t include the batter’s 1 hour standing time. I confess that I haven't used self-raising flour; I placed a teaspoon of yeast in a cup of warm water and let that sit for 10-15 minutes. Then I incorporated this yeast mixture into all-purpose flour and I have to say THAT result was incredibly delicious. No added sugar. I have moved this from the breakfast menu to the brunch/dinner menu. Enjoy!
