30/10/2015 Friday 核桃煎餅

Happy Friday~~ ^.^

Once again it's Friday and tomorrow has no work....hohoho...

Oh yeah.... Happy Halloween too!!!

This morning I overslept and woke up nearly 6am so I have no time but just cooked simple foods for my gal today.

Last night we did our regular measurement heigh. weight and head size for our 27mo little princess. The result:

13.4kg nett W, 92cm H, 47cm Head circumference

自寶寶満月以來, 每個月底一定會幫寶寶量體高和體重哦~

92公分高, 13.4公斤净重

比上個月重了100克和高了1公分。呵呵呵呵。。。

Breakfast : Walnut Sweet potato Pancake, cherry tomatoes and fresh milk

Lunch and dinner : Beef mushroom porridge

Teatime : Honeydew and young coconut juice

今天的煎餠,續之前(5/11/2014)自己的食譜再更改,依然鬆軟好吃。

補腦核桃煎餅

材料： （18片5-6cm直徑的煎餅）

1個雞蛋

35克 煮/蒸熟的番薯

10克 核桃

2茶匙 米糠油

2茶匙 有機蔗糖（任何醣類）

2湯匙 鮮奶（任何奶類）

3湯匙 中筋麵粉

1/2茶匙 無鋁泡打粉

做法：

1) 用料理棒攪拌所有材料，除了麵粉和泡打粉。 （打10秒）

2) 加入麵粉和泡打粉，用湯匙攪拌均勻。

3) 加少許油在熱的平底鍋裡，再用廚房紙巾擦勻。（我完全沒有放油，因為新買的鍋很棒）

4) 將平底鍋放在濕布上降溫，再放回爐上。（全程用小小火）

5) 用１湯匙的量匙，分別挖一勺麵糊放入鍋中，蓋上蓋子。約30秒鐘左右可見到蛋餅表面出現若干小洞、打開蓋子並可以翻面了。 （我家的鍋一次可以煎7片）

6) 翻面之後也同樣煎半分鐘左右即可出鍋。

7) 重複步驟4-６ ，直到麵糊全部用完。（我一共重複3次）

～＊＊本人的小貼士＊＊～

1）以上食譜大約可以做18個小小的鬆餅，每次勺同樣的分量，鬆餅的大小就會比較均勻啦~

2）油不要放多，可以滴幾滴油在鍋內之後，用紙巾擦勻。

3）一定要用最小火。火一大就容易煎焦。

4）我家平底鍋是28公分的，可以一次煎7-8塊。

5）要煎美美的煎餅，讓平底鍋降溫的步驟就一定不可以省略哦。

根據一些歷史調查，山藥作為一種保健食品，可能已經有2000多年的歷史，早在東漢的《神農本草經》就已經將山藥列為養生保健之上品。到了唐代，《四時纂要》引用道士王所著的《山居要術》更是對稱山藥能夠驅寒補虛，長服能使人耳目皆聰，是比較難得的滋補良方。
