Pancakes


This is a classic and will never go out of style. Reminds me of Saturday morning breakfast with the family. I love this dish because its so versatile. It can be sweet or savory. It can be served with literally hundreds of accompaniments. My favorite is still the classic way - a dash of butter and a whole lot of maple syrup.


1/2 cup All Purpose Flour (maida
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup milk
1 large Egg


Sugar according to taste
Pinch of Salt


In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk and egg.  Mix until smooth.


Heat a girdle or flat bottomed pan and add some butter. Using a ladle scoop the pancake batter onto the girdle (approx. 1/4 cup for each pancake). Brown both sides and serve piping hot.


Tip: Add some vanilla or cinnamon in the batter to add some extra flavour.  Traditionally pancakes are served with some butter and maple syrup.  Incase you dont find maple syrup, try honey as a substitue. You can also serve pancakes with fresh fruit or jam or some fresh cream.
