Ingredients

• 1 cup your favourite pancake mix (see Old Fashioned Homemade Pancakes in a Mix here in this site)
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup freeze dried potatoes OR cooked and diced potatoes
• 1/3 cup freeze dried peas OR frozen or fresh
• 2 Tablespoon freeze dried chopped onions OR same amount finely diced fresh onion
• 1/2 - 1 cup freeze dried red or green peppers OR same amount chopped fresh pepper
• 1 cup - 1 1/2 cup water
• 2 Tablespoon vegetable oil to fry in
• *optional: 1/4 cup freeze dried sausage crumbles OR same amount cooked sausage
• *optional: 1/4 cup freeze dried spinach

Directions

1. Add pancake mix, curry powder and salt into mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine.
2. Add all the freeze dried vegetables. Go ahead and switch out fresh or frozen as you desire.
3. Don't worry if you don't have something on hand. Substitute as needed.
4. Add water, starting with 1 cup. If you're using mostly freeze dried vegetables, be prepared to add up to 1/2 cup more water if needed. Add a little at a time if needed to make a nice thick (but thoroughly moistened) batter.
5. Stir just enough to moisten, then let sit for a few minutes while you heat oil in skillet.
6. Heat oil to medium high in a skillet. When hot, add a spoonful of batter to the hot skillet. Cook till dry around edges, then flip and finish cooking on the other side.
7. Repeat till all batter is cooked. Expect 5-6 4 inch pancakes.
8. Serve as is, or with a hot sauce dip. Serve alone or as a side. In my house, we usually eat out of hand like a sandwich.
9. *optional: If using freeze dried sausage, refresh FIRST by covering with HOT water, let sit 10-15 minutes till tender. Strain and stir into batter.
10. Breakfast / lunch / side dish for dinner or appetizer for a gathering.
