Pancake

Pancakes are easy to cook and come in a wide variety of styles, but today I am going to share my basic pancake recipe, not to fancy but makes light, fluffy and tender pancakes. I like to serve them with some fresh fruit maple syrup.

Ingredients

For Pancakes

1 1/4 Cups	all purpose flour (Maida)
2	Eggs
1 Cup	Milk
1 tbsp	baking powder
1 tsp	bicarbonate of soda
1/4 tsp	Salt
3-4 tsp	Sugar
1 tbsp	Melted Butter
1/4 tsp	Vanilla essence

For Strawberry/Kiwi Syrup

Method

4-5	Strawberries
1	Kiwi
4-5 tbsp	Maple Syrup
1 tsp	Butter

Pancake

·         Mix all the dry ingredients flour, baking powder, soda bicarbonate, salt and sugar together in a bowl.

·         Then slightly beat the eggs and add it to the bowl. Also add milk, vanilla essence and melted butter. Mix until you have a nice and even pancake batter.

·         Keep aside for 15-30 minutes before you start making pancakes.

·         Heat a non-stick frying pan and grease it with a very small amount of butter.

·         Pour some batter onto the hot pan so you make a round pancake about 15cm in diameter.

·         When bubbles appear on the top of the pancake turn it around and cook it on the other side until it turns until golden-brown. Approximately 1 min each side.

Strawberry/Kiwi Syrup

·         Chop strawberries and kiwis into small pieces.

·         Heat butter in a pan and put the chopped fruits. Cook for 1-2 minute till the fruits slightly cooked.

·         Add maple syrup and simmer for another minute

·         Just pour the syrup over the pancake and enjoy

Tips

·    This is a basic pancake recipe. You can add raisins, nuts, chocolate chips, cocoa powder etc. to the basic pancake batter to try different versions

·    Sieve dry ingredients, such as flour, raising agents etc. into a bowl before combining them with the liquid ingredients. This will ensure your batter is light and airy.
