Pancakes and more



Everyone in the house loves "Good Old Fashioned Pancakes".
They're so good my parents kept requesting for more. They don't usually ask for dessert food.

I've finished my entire pack of flour because of the countless requests and each time, we make more than 15 pancakes.
And my dad actually asked me to teach him how to make it!


My very first try.
I'd say it turned out pretty well.
The recipe was easy to follow and the pancakes were really delicious!




Then I tried out another recipe - Blueberry pancakes.
The batter was not as good though the tinge of blueberries in the pancakes was what I wanted.
So, I'm sticking with the "Good Old Fashioned Pancakes" recipe and the next time, I'll just add blueberries to this recipe.



This blueberry pancakes looks like a fried egg.
But I love the colour of blueberries in my pancakes!



We've mastered the art of making pancakes!



The stack of pancakes my dad made.


The pancakes go really well with lemon curd.
Way better than maple syrup.
Now I don't have to visit MacDonald's to satisfy my cravings for pancakes.
Because these pancakes are equally good!

Good Old Fahioned Pancakes



My sister has been saying she wanted to have some pancakes for breakfast, so I got a recipe off all recipes.
They have a variety of recipes for pancakes, like blueberry pancakes, canadian pancakes etc, but good old fashioned pancakes caught my eyes.


I'd imagine the traditional pancake taste.
Plus I had all the ingredients needed and the steps were easy to follow!




Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

The recipe stated that this would make about 8 pancakes, but it gave me only 4 1/2.
The number of pancakes you can make is dependent on the size of your pancakes.
I made mine about 6 inches in diameter and thick, similar to MacDonald's pancake size.


All you need to do is to sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a large bowl, make a well in the center and pour the milk, egg and butter in.
Mix everything together until smooth.




Heat your pan and oil it lightly with either cooking oil or butter.
I used butter just because I like the smell of it.


The recipe said to fry the pancakes over medium heat, but I fried mine over small heat.
I'd prefer to watch the pancakes cook slowly to prevent overcooking them.
Wait for bubbles to be formed on the batter before flipping the pancake over (like the above).




And you'll achieve pancakes like this!




I had a little batter left so I used my heart-shaped mould just for fun.






There you go!
Easy and tasty pancakes for breakfast the very next day.
