Yes, wholegrain pancakes can be fluffy, tender and tasty. Letting the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking your pancakes allows the whole wheat flour and oats to absorb the liquid, which keeps the batter light and delicate. I usually prefer regular rolled oats in baking because they hold their shape and texture, but quick-cooking oats work equally well here because they soak up the liquid quickly and still make a fluffy pancake.
Fiery harissa roasted chickpeas pair perfectly with creamy tahini-flavoured yogurt in this recipe. The chickpeas on their own are great as a crunchy snack or paired with a hard-cooked egg, warm toasted pita bread, roasted cauliflower and sliced cucumbers.
This blueberry-filled breakfast and brunch dish is a lazy cook's dream. You can prepare it entirely ahead the night before and then just bake it in the morning. Serve warm with maple syrup and grilled bacon or sausage alongside. (Recipe adapted from Best Summer Weekends Cookbook by Jane Rodmell).
Whether you are going to the Coronation (like Donna-Marie) or not, or planning on watching it on TV (or maybe not), King Charles has launched his choice of recipe for the upcoming Coronation on May 6. Chosen personally by Their Majesties, they have opted for a simple, traditional quiche to commemorate the big day.While quiche might seem more French than British, they chose it because it's a good sharing dish as the Brits are encouraged to gather after the ceremony for The Big Lunch with friends and neighbours. The Royal Family's website shared the full recipe of the dish which involves spinach, broad beans (which we refer to as fava beans), cheddar cheese and tarragon. We have substituted leeks in place of the broad beans as they are harder to find here in Canada and we've adapted some ingredients to make it a little more "Canadian recipe-friendly".
Cherry lovers rejoice! This simple and classic French dessert recipe features fresh cherries baked in a custard with slivered almonds. Traditional clafoutis is made with cherries that still have their pits, that give it some extra almond flavour. But it can be a little more difficult to eat, so we've pitted the cherries first. For a pretty finish, dust lightly with powdered sugar.
