I appreciate everyone’s support on my last post, which as you might notice was quite a while ago compared to my regular posting schedule. With busy (and long) work days I decided to take an impromptu blog break. Although I can’t say I am entirely rested and now miraculously have tonnes of free time for blogging, I just had to come back from my blog break because there were just too many recipes I wanted to share!

The first one being broccoli cheddar corn cakes, made just like you would make a regular pancake.

Category	Mark	Comments	Overall Grade
Convenience		This recipe takes a bit more time then some pancakes because you have to steam the broccoli before you even start making up the batter for the pancakes.	B+
Health		The corn cakes are high in protein and relatively low carb. They have a higher fat content because of the cheddar cheese, however you can try using reduced fat cheese if you are worried.
Taste		These are slightly on the salty side, but full of flavour. They don’t need to be topped with anything because they are quite flavourful on their own.
Texture		These are more on the crunchy side for a regular pancake, because of using course ground cornmeal. The cakes get nicely firm and solid (rather than some pancakes that are floppy)
General Comments The batter is thick, so you will want to spread it on the pan with the back on your spoon to even it out.

 

P.S – You should know, the number of times I initially misspelled broccoli in this post is embarrassingly ridiculous. You should also know that in writing that last sentence I misspelled: mispelled, brocolli, embarrasingly, and ridicolous. I think I need to go back to grade school.

When you are making pancakes, do you most often make single serving recipes, or recipes for multiple people? How is your spelling, are there certain words you always misspell?
