So in the Saturday Special time kill, today I tried pancakes. To be completely honest I have tried making pancakes before but everytime it ends in a sloppy uncooked disaster but today was different. With the most minimal ingredients available in every single Indian household, this recipe is a sure winner.
2 Eggs
1 cup Flour(aata)
1/2 cup sugar(powdered)
1/2 cup full cream milk
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon butter/ghee
Few drops of Vanilla essence
Cooking oil
Maple syrup
So you beat up 2 eggs in a glass bowl, add the flour, butter and the powdered sugar; constantly stirring and whisking so that no lumps are formed. Now add milk, baking powder and continue whisking, you may want to use those electric ones or you can mix it in the blender for about 2 mins. The resultant mixture should be a viscous paste if you are looking at thick American pancakes, the thinner the paste the more you tend towards crepes. So choose your pick.
Now in a pan, heat about 2 teaspoons of oil/butter. Keep the flame on LOW(in the picture the one in the front was made on low flame and the other one on medium, so the difference is evident) and make the pancakes. You just need to put the dough in the center and not spread it; if the right viscosity it'll spread beautifully on its own. And you've used butter on the pan. it'll be a perfect circle. Flip it! Since aata takes more time to bake ensure that you are cooking well, you can try covering the pan with a plate just make sure the surface doesn't blacken.
Serve hot with butter and maple syrup(I bought at Spar hyper-mart). And love, of course.
