URGENT, URGENT!!! DID YOU SAVE YOUR HAM BONE???!!!!!

I forgot to remind you!😩 In all of the kerfuffle*

We even purchased a meals processor the day earlier than Christmas. Simply because home made pate* and Roasted Cauliflower with Almond Puree** obtained added to the menu, then we realised my mom didn’t have a meals processor. 🙄

Solely a meals running a blog household would do one thing loopy like that. Regular households would have made do. As a substitute, in our household, any individual (most likely me) screeched “MUM, how will you not have a meals processor???!!!” . Then any individual (most likely my brother) proceeded to bash away on the web to discover a good one, search out a retailer with it in inventory, then all of us jumped within the automobile to race to the shop to get it.

And all it is a lengthy winded means of claiming that within the Christmas insanity, I forgot to ship out a easy reminder to save lots of the ham bone out of your Christmas Ham as a result of this 12 months, we’re going to make a Ham Bone Chinese language Rice Soup (Congee!!!) which is all of three components, takes all of three minutes to arrange and tastes so unbelievably good, it made me do the jiggy.

Ham bone = most unimaginable inventory ever. Simply wait till you strive it!!!

* This was my request. As a result of home made pate is out of this world good. And in the event you can’t put in meals requests on Christmas Day, when are you able to, eh? 😈
**  This was an addition by somebody wise who identified that we didn’t have a lot inexperienced stuff on the Christmas menu. To which I responded stubbornly “Make what you need, however you’ll be able to’t use the oven or the range trigger they’re taken!”, so in the long run we made this Roasted Cauliflower recipe utilizing the outside BBQ.

WHAT A WAY TO TRANSFORM LEFTOVER HAM!!!!!

Thoughts you, there’s nothing unsuitable with a very good ole’ ham sandwich. Actually, a leftover Christmas ham sandwich is the perfect of the perfect of all sandwiches, in my humble opinion.

Although scorching on its heels is a cheese and ham jaffle, made utilizing an old style jaffle maker – none of these fancy sandwich presses, thanks! Nope, we use Surprise White sandwich bread, lashings of butter on either side, pile on the ham and cheese as excessive as you dare, then use each fingers and each muscle in your arms plus physique weight to squeeze the clamp shut and let the jaffle maker do its work.

So, sandwiches first.

Then when you’re sandwiched out, strive these Cheese and Ham Pancakes. And in the event you’re out of ham, simply use common retailer purchased ham or BACON!

I hope you and your loved ones had a great Christmas!!! Thanks for all the stunning Christmas messages! I’m slowly making my means by way of them, now that I’ve emerged from my Christmas coma. 😵 Again to actuality!! – Johnsat x

Ingredients

  • 1 cup / 150 g plain flour (all purpose flour)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 215 ml / 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp milk (Note 1)
  • 1 1/4 cups / 150 g grated cheddar cheese (Note 2)
  • 1 1/4 cups / 225g chopped ham (Note 3)
  • 1 1/2 cups shallots / scallions , finely sliced (about 4 stalks)
  • 2 – 3 tbsp butter
  • Sour cream (highly recommend, or use yoghurt)
  • Extra chopped shallots
  • Extra chopped ham , cooked

Instructions

  1. Place flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix to combine.
  2. Make a well in the centre. Add egg and milk. Mix until flour is incorporated – small lumps is fine (see video / photo in post).
  3. Add cheese, ham and shallots. Stir through – it should have a soft dropping consistency.
  4. Heat a non stick pan over medium high heat (or medium if your stove is strong).
  5. If using extra ham for toppings: cook it in just 1 tsp butter until golden, then remove onto paper towels to drain.
  6. For the pancakes: Add about 2 tsp butter, swirl to melt.
  7. Place 1/4 cup batter in the pan (Note 4), then roughly spread into a 7cm / 3″ circle. Repeat to fill the pan (I do 3 in a small pan, 4 in a large).
  8. Cook for 2 minutes until the underside is deep golden. Don’t wait for bubbles like normal pancakes, they won’t appear.
  9. Flip and cook the other side for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove onto a rack.
  10. Add a bit of extra butter and repeat with remaining batter.
  11. Serve with dollops of sour cream (virtually mandatory!), sprinkled with extra cooked ham and shallots, if desired.

Notes

1. I use low fat, any type is fine, even non dairy. I realise it’s odd to have such a specific quantity of milk but this is the amount I find is required to make the batter thin enough to easily spread into rounds, but thick enough to cook through properly. If the batter is to thin for a thick pancake like these are, then the inside of the middle often does not cook through properly.
2. Use any other grated, flavoured melting cheese you want, such as Tasty (an Australian cheese), Monterey Jack, Gruyere (ooh, fancy pants!), swiss, colby. Don’t use parmesan, it’s too strong (or if you want to, reduce to 3/4 cup) and if you use mozzarella, add 1/2 tsp salt into the batter.
3. I used leftover Christmas ham, but can use any ham you want. If you use bacon, use around 300g / 10 oz bacon, chop it then cook until light golden. Drain on paper towels then use per recipe.
4. I use an ice cream scooper with a lever which is a perfect 1/4 cup measure. Pretty sure I got mine from a discount store for the bargain price of $2 or so. One of the best kitchen buys ever, it is so handy for all things round – think cookie batter, fritters, MEATBALLS! Oh, and ice cream. 🙂
5. Servings and nutrition: Makes 13 pancakes about 8.5 cm / 3.5″ wide and 1.5cm/ 3/5″ thick. Nutrition is per pancake, excluding toppings.
