POFFERTJES (DUTCH MINI PANCAKES)
An easy, no-yeast recipe for Dutch pancakes, which are called "poffertjes" in the Netherlands. They are traditionally made in a poffertjes pan which has indents, but you can use a large frying pan and scoop a small tablespoon of batter per poffertje into the pan. Serve the poffertjes warm with a knob of butter and powdered sugar.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the baking powder. Whisk to combine. In a second bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/2 cup water. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. (It should resemble the texture of loose mashed potatoes; if not, add a little more water.)
- In a small bowl, combine the onion and okra. Season with remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper. Toss to combine, and fold into the batter.
- In a cast-iron skillet, heat 1/2 to 1 inch of oil to 340 degrees. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, spoon the batter by heaping teaspoons into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove from oil. Drain on a wire rack or crumpled paper towels. Sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.
UN-SLIMY OKRA
Roasting the okra with tomatoes keeps it from being slimy, and a dusting of panko adds a touch of crunch to mimick fried okra without the added fat from frying.

MINI OKRA PANCAKES
After handing guests a drink, I often like to offer them a special morsel of food to perk up their taste buds and to make everyone feel at home. My friend and Austin farmer extraordinaire Carol Anne Sayle shared this recipe, and it warmed my southern gal's heart. (For skeptics, these little pancakes do not suffer from the slime factor some associate with okra.) I served these at my annual garden party for chefs and friends, and people couldn't get enough. The trick is to serve them hot off the griddle, so make sure you have someone to fry them in a skillet, and someone else to pass them around while they're still hot. For this kind of job, I often enlist a shy guest or two. It keeps them busy, and frees them from the stress of having to make small talk. I've found that people will eat as many of these as they can get, but one or two per person is plenty and when they're gone, they're gone. (The recipe doubles easily if you're serving a crowd, though.) I have added a little touch of my own to Carol Anne's recipe. My garden was producing way more jalapeños than I could manage, so I decided to pickle them. I tossed a few chopped, pickled chiles into Carol Anne's pancakes and loved the result. You can leave them out if you like.
Yield serves 8 as an appetizer; about twenty-four 2-inch pancakes

Steps:
- Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and black pepper together in a bowl, along with the cayenne pepper if desired. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, the 1 cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and the mustard. Sprinkle the chopped okra evenly with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the okra, pickled jalapeños, onions, and garlic to the egg mixture and stir until combined. Add the cornmeal mixture and stir lightly until just combined. The dough should resemble a thin pancake batter. If it seems too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of buttermilk.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, drop in 2 heaping tablespoons batter per pancake, leaving room between pancakes so they don't touch. Cook the pancakes, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose tender okra: Select young and tender okra for the best texture and flavor.
- Slice okra finely: The thinner the okra slices, the crispier the pancakes will be.
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will prevent the pancakes from sticking and burning.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will allow them to cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the pancakes carefully: Use a spatula to gently flip the pancakes to avoid breaking them.
- Serve the pancakes hot: Okra pancakes are best enjoyed hot out of the skillet.
Conclusion:
Mini okra pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their crispy texture and flavorful filling, these pancakes are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give mini okra pancakes a try!
