Coco Nutty

In the last few days most of my cooking exploits have ended unsatisfactorily. Stuff just isn't nice enough to post in the blog. Today, when I came in from a couple of hours hard labour and as hungry as a horse from missing breakfast I decided to cut the crap and use someone else's successful recipe, just for a change.



Destiny's Kitchen had just produced some of Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Coconut Pancakes and very nice they looked too. So I made them my mark despite the fact the Americans persist in calling pancakes what we would call drop scones. Pancakes, as any fule kno', are more like a crêpe only British.

Then, being me, I threw the recipe away and made my own version, mainly because I have no cup measures here, no maple syrup and so on. You get the picture but because the bits of this recipe that really appeal to me, the nutmeg and the coconut, I'd never thought of before I can't really claim this as my own work. If you'd like to make them I suggest you pop over to Destiny's and start there.

Supremely easy, tolerably quick and delightfully fried sugary carbohydrate, I treated myself to some brewed coffee to go with them and ate the lot. I may have to lie down now.
