BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

You can make the batter up to 48 hours before using. And whatever batter is leftover, you can freeze. 

1. - Step 1Mix all the dry ingredients well: flour (use any flour or mix of flours. Spelt, buckwheat, white, pastry), bicarbonate, baking powder, sugar and 5g of salt .
2. - Step 2Separate the egg yolks and whites of 2 Rich Yolk eggs. Whip your egg whites into a foamy mass (leave whites to the side). Then melt your butter and let it cool.
3. - Step 3Mix all wet ingredients: 225g of buttermilk, melted butter, egg yolks
4. - Step 4Add the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Use a spatula and make circular movements, folding the wet into the dry until you have a lumpy mass – you still want to see some flour un-mixed.
5. - Step 5Add 100g of the cooled melted butter into the mixture and fold slowly with a spatula until the butter is mixed in.
6. - Step 6With a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks, then fold these gently into the batter.

CORNFLAKE FRIED CHICKEN

The night before cooking, marinate the chicken thighs in the remaining 150ml buttermilk, and 10g of salt & 10g of pepper.

1. - Step 1Heat oven to 210 degrees.
2. - Step 2Remove the chicken thighs from buttermilk, cover well in the chicken spices and pop the chicken thighs back into the buttermilk.
3. - Step 3Put the cornflakes in a shallow flat bowl or oven pan, remove the chicken thighs from the buttermilk and press the chicken down firmly into the cornflakes whilst flattening the chicken and covering it all over with the broken cornflakes.
4. - Step 4Place chicken on paper in metal tray. Spray oil on top of the cornflaked chicken, cover loosely with a lid or foil & oven-cook for approximately 20 minutes.

Whilst the chicken is cooking:

1. - Step 1Heat a large pan to a medium/high temperature, with a brush add the melted butter and when bubbly add the batter. A small ladle (120ml) per person.
2. - Step 2When the underside is golden and the top has no more visible liquidity, flip and cook till done.

The final steps:

1. - Step 1Fry the eggs the way you like them best, but our preference is sunny side up fried in a bit of butter & olive oil.
2. - Step 2Plate up your pancakes, add rocket, add the crispy chicken, then top with your fried egg. Voila, here is your CFC is served!
