Everyone has probably experienced an unexpected lack of a basic food ingredient at home. Luckily, most can be effectively replaced by an equivalent. They say necessity is the mother of invention. In my opinion, it is also the mother of the best chefs. A lack of flour at home can lead to many new, great recipes.
Kurt Scheller, a popular chef from Switzerland, often says that there's practically no flour in his kitchen. Sure, there are exceptions where the white powder simply must be used. Apart from these rare cases, Scheller tries not to use flour. Maybe it’s a matter of culinary preference? Or perhaps it’s due to the genetic changes in grains we've witnessed for many years? I don’t know how it was for Scheller, but I know how it was for me. I simply ran out of flour.
It wouldn’t have been a big deal if I was just cooking for myself. However, the kids wouldn’t forgive such an oversight with any argument. I had to figure something out because there's no joke when the little ones expect pancakes. Luckily, I found a great recipe for pancakes made with farina. There is no flour, and the result is astonishing!
Farina pancakes
Ingredients:
- 7 ounces of quick-cooking farina
- 7 ounces of milk
- 1 banana
- 2 eggs
Preparation:
- Pour the milk over the farina. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- Peel the banana and mash it with a fork. Break the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Add the yolks to the banana immediately, and beat the egg whites until stiff.
- Now add the soaked farina to the banana with the yolks, and after a moment, add the beaten egg whites. Mix well.
- Fry for 1.5 minutes on each side. Serve with powdered sugar or a dollop of cream. Enjoy.
