It's my sister Susan's birthday today! Hooray, Susan!
Thought I was pretty cool when I made muffaletta panino last night for myself, a variation on Rachael Ray's, with salad olives, Candoni Italian onions in Balsamic Vinegar (borettane onions, a cippoline pearl onion, small saucer like onions), capers, pepper flakes, EVOO, small baguette, deli-roasted turkey, salami, and dubliner irish cheese.
Giovanna's Frittelle di Pere (Joanne's Pear Pancakes)
Ingredients
- 1 cup bisquick mix
- 1/2 cup milk (more if you like thin pancakes)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 pear, hand-chopped in small pieces (I used red anjou and was patient for the last several days to make sure it had ripened - but not too soft)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- syrup, or for me powdered sugar and splash extra virgin olive oil on top when serving
Directions
- Heat griddle to 375 degrees
- Stir first 5 ingredients until blended
- Grease griddle if it is a non-stick surface
- Pour slightly less than 1/4 cupfuls onto hot griddle
- Cook until edges are dry. Turn and cook until golden
- Serve with butter and syrup if you are traditional, or with splash EVOO and shake of powdered sugar, if you are like me. I served mine with a couple of fried eggs (love to dip pancake into yolk) and a couple of slices of the pear. I'm sure some caramelized pear slices would make a nice topping too.
