On My Way To Heaven

Saturday is here and as you know, I love big breakfasts on Saturdays; I love the smell of pancakes, coffee and having a slow morning in family.

The pictures for this post have nothing to do with pancakes, 
but much to do with a joyous Saturday!

I found this recipe in a magazine that is printed in Australia; I bought it in Boston, and now I cannot find new issues! The magazine is Donna Hay and I love the recipes in it.

These Coconut Pancakes are great, and the recipe I am posting has few changes that I made to it.

Make sure you have this before starting:

1 1/2 cups self raising flour, sifted. (you can use regular flour and add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, sift them together)

1/2 c superfine sugar. (I used Splenda)

4 eggs, separated.

1 1/2 cups coconut milk (unsweetened, be careful not to buy the stuff you use for your “piñas coladas” )

vegetable oil for greasing.

4 bananas sliced.

1/2 c. orange juice.

The easy steps:

1.Get your prettier bowl, and place the sliced bananas in it with the orange juice. Set apart.

2. In another bowl mix in the flour, sugar, egg yolks, and coconut milk. This is something that your little helpers can do.

3. Get ready to whisk the egg whites, you can do it the old way, or just the way I did it…with an electric beater until beautiful and perfect stiff peaks form. Now with tender care, fold through the batter.

4. Cook just the way you have always cooked those “Aunt Jemima” pancakes. The rule is turn over only once and they will look puffy and golden.

5. Serve with the bananas, and some shaved fresh unsweetened coconut.

Do not forget to have a pot of coffee ready.

Enjoy your saturday, enjoy your family, enjoy the life God has given you today!
