Episode 114 - Pancakes, Pancakes

Guess what I had this morning for breakfast? PANCAKES! It's been a while I haven't make pancakes and they tasted rather delicious plus I was super hungry *teehee*. I think pancakes are rather simple to make, they can be eaten with so many things. They can be eaten with Baked Red Beans or scrambled eggs or they can be simply eaten just like that, all depends on what you have put in your pancake mix. They even have those ready made ones in a plastic bottle where you just need to add water, give it a shake and just pour onto a pan to be cooked! Here's how you can make your home-made yummy pancakes. All you need are:

Pancakes

Ingredients:
3 cups of Self- rising flour
1 egg
1/2 cup of Condensed milk
1 cup of Milk
1/2 cup of Water
Butter (Salted) & Corn Oil

Method:
Sift the flour into a bowl. Make a crater in the middle of bowl of sifted flour. Crack in the egg, Condensed milk, milk, water into the crater and whisk it slowly in a circular motion. The batter should be smooth and medium thin. It should not be too watery. If it is still very thick, add a few more tablespoons of milk until it becomes smooth when you lift the batter with a saddle.

Preheat a non-stick pan on low heat and place some cooking oil first then a knob of butter. Take a full spoon of batter with the saddle and pour into the middle of the pan. Once you see air bubbles poppin up on the pancake and the sides are starting to turn golden brown, flip it and let it cook till it turns golden brown.

Serve the pancakes warm with Jam (I recommend Raspberry!!), butter or more Condensed milk. You can also eat them with ice cream and fresh fruits.
To make a Crepe batter, add another half cup of milk to your batter until it turns thin and use a normal flour instead of a Self-Rising one. When pouring onto a non-stick pan, make sure that the batter is spread thinly all over by tilting the pan in a circular motion.

Splendid! So Enjoy! /(0-,0)\
