Easy Coconut Cream Pancakes - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

in photography •  7 years ago 

Okay, so it might take me a while to get comfortable using a new camera so it might be a few days before I share photos I've taken with it.

Anyway, there's a lot going on with it being the last week of the year so I'm just going to get to telling you about these pancakes right away.

In case you haven’t noticed, I make pancakes pretty often for the gang and, oh wow, can my family put away some pancakes. The best part of when I make pancakes is that they are always slightly different. Pancakes are so versatile and easy that you can put all kinds of stuff in them. I love using the ends of bags of miscellaneous flours and various dairy products.

These particular pancakes were exceptional. I used one of my current obsessions, coconut cream, and it gave them the most amazing texture, Yum! You really need to try these if you like pancakes at all because these are up there with the best.

Oh, and if you aren’t much of a coconut fan, don’t worry. You really can’t hardly taste coconut at all. It’s more about the texture it adds than the flavor. I put these with some fresh berries, which I’ve told you about how many I have right now, and it was a great combination. You just need to do it!

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.

And, by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21. The key to success on Steemit is to be consistent and persistent.

Pancakes can be your every day breakfast (may be ordinary) but with the way you present them, I'm sure that many people will like them. Nice work!

Thank you so much @hiroyamagishi!

Delicious food. Excellent photography. "Happy hump day"

Thanks and I hope you enjoy it @pariza!

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
2 3/4 cups milk
3/4 cup coconut cream
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional but amazing)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions

Mix coconut oil, coconut cream, sugar, and milk in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in eggs, salt, baking powder, and vanilla. Stir in flour.
Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto griddle and cook for 1 to 2 minutes then flip and cook on other side for 1 to 2 minutes more until done.
Serve immediately.
Notes

You can substitute coconut milk in this recipe if you can't find coconut cream. Just replace the 3/4 cup coconut cream and the 2 3/4 cup regular milk with 1 1/2 cups coconut milk and 2 cups regular milk.

great, now I feel like pancakes at 1am in the morning! lol

Haha, well then I suppose you'll just have to get to bed soon to get up and have breakfast @alexpmorris!

Ah! Here's the recipe! Thank you! Sounds super delicious. My family also eat massive amounts of pancakes. I'll try this one. As alwyas, lovely post!

why are the ingredients in a comment? and not in the post?

Wow, looks so delicious!

thanks @askaran

Oh... Such a delicious food presentation... Photos are fantastic... Did you have made any post production on them?

Thanks so much @wilku

Those pancakes are absolutely amazing... I absolutely lov whole juxtaposition of colors... Great job...

juxtaposition, we don't get to hear that one everyday, thanks so much @wilku

The look so yummy!!

Hi! Thank you so much for your delicious and tempting pictures! A really good start of my day (in a grey and rainy Oslo, Norway). Coconut cream- mmm..

Gringa @gringalicious ... How is it possible to make such incredible pictures ?
You are very talented. Gifted. Have you consider to write severals ebooks and sell them ? (I am not a kind of selling person and never made any money with anything except steem.... but when I see your talent... I can only tell you that you could really write (you already have everything done) cooking ebooks/books.

I have an idea for a cookbook, maybe later in 2018. Right now, my focus is on steemit which includes what I normally do plus much more travel.

Thanks so much for you support! I'll never forget our Saturday in Lisbon. Who knows, maybe Belgium may pop on my itinerary in 2018?

The photos are amazing. The berries help take some of the cold away for this snowy winter we're having. Fantastic photography as always

That's so sweet as always @noboxes!

Wow! Very nice presentation. @gringalicious is one of my inspirations in posting my wife's cuisine. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, that is such a big compliment! Thanks @j-alhomestudio!

they go great with a scoop of ice cream on top

I think that's a great idea @l82matthew182!

Nice shot! It looked so much more delicious by the way you take a photo of it. I’m sure everyone would be hungry just by looking at it. Great work! I’ll also try that the moment I’ll have my free time.

I am glad i was able to inspire you @michaeljn, thanks so much for the comment

Yummy, Always eyes eat first and you an artist.

welcome to steemit @alexarain, thanks so much for the comment

Coconut cream...I will have to look for that. It sounds wonderful! Yes, Yes, Yes to pancakes. Great pics and sounds like you are enjoying your new camera! Have a wonderful day.

I'm finding that coconut milk is more and more available. Oddly enough, it was easier for me to get when I was in Chile than it is now. Do you have a Trader Joes near you? If so, they are a good source.

No, unfortunately we do not. Hoping soon!

They sound delicious I will use coconut milk next time

Hey @sunscape, thanks so much for stopping by. Yes, please give the coconut milk a try, I think you will be hapy with it

Ohh my word.. Im coming right over for breakfast.. Looks so yummy. wonderful job.

thanks so much @lilbit-pudles and welcome to steemit

damm i wan't eat this Pancakes :)

I understand, totally

Great photos. You did a great job, and those pancakes. They look so good. Coconut cream, hmmmmmmmmmmm, have to try that.

welcome to steemit @shevans and thanks for the comment

Looks so tasty! Did you get a chance to eat these? Pancakes get cold fast! Actually i'd probably still eat them cold anyways, they look too good

actually, don't tell anyone, but I seldom eat my own creations. Most of what I make, I make for my family. Starting next week, I will be making creations that perhaps no one will eat. I do not like to be wasteful, but now it is simply an business expense to keep on steeming.

What!? All of your food posts look so mouth watering! How can you resist.. you should express mail them to me :D Express mailed pancakes! I wonder how they would look once received.. lol

These pancakes look amazing. The coconut cremes sounds very interesting. Beautiful

Hope you love them @fullofhope!

What a good post! nice photos, voted and followed, I would love you to go through my blog to see the recipes I publish and I hope you like them if you like, greetings!

you are consistent, I will give you that

Great post there, keep up good work !
