Every Saturday, me and my beloved cozin have a habit to dine out. Well not a lux fine dining but we only have a dinner in night market near our house. A bowl of Mie Ayam (Chicken Noodles) and a glass of cheap soda and cheap ice cream as the dessert always be our favorite meal! Haha. Well this saturday, before we went out for dinner, me and my cozin, Amanda, got an idea to make a pancake. She got the recipe from the magz but please note it that DO NOT TRUST MAGAZINE TOO MUCH! especially a teenage magazine. They put a good looking food pictures with a so-so recipe. Yeah i know i am not en expert too, but please help us to make a good dish, with a real ingredients not the instant one! Huff, i will trust my mom and cook book forever rather than magz.
So, here is the simple recipe, I got it from mom's cookbook, so much better than magazine (Kuyper, Ben J, 50 Pancake Recipes, 1966 London: Lutterworth Press)
- 300 g flour
- 15 g yeast (u may use baking powder but for me yeast is better)
- 150 ml warm milk
- 3 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- pinch of salt
- 45 g butter
- Cocoa Powder
- extra butter for frying.
- additional stuffs for garnish like icing sugar, strawberry jam, choco chips, maple syrup etc.
How to make?
- Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk.
- Sift the flour into a big bowl and make a hole in the center. Then put the milk mixture in the hollow.
- Knead together until u have a smooth, elastic dough. Cover it with a cloth and put in a warm place to rise.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together. Then add the salt, melted butter and kokoa powder ( i add kokoa coz i wanna make a choco pancake). Mix the dough with this and knead thoroughly.
- Roll out on a floured board, and cut out round cakes with the rim of a drinking glass. After you cut it then leave it to rise again for a short time.
- Fry the dough in a pan with a plenty of butter or margarine.
- Finishing touch: sprinkle it with icing sugar or add choco sauce or strawberry jam or fruit sauce or vanilla ice cream or choco chips etc :D
Yoom meeh! Its easy right! As easy as cooking instant noodle haha :P Well, maybe in USA or other countries, they eat pancake for breakfast. But here, in my beloved country pancake can be enjoy anytime we want. Like last saturday, me and my cozin ate it in the afternoon with a cup of hot black tea :D Oh yeah, here's the pic that we took, but please remember the pancake on the pic used the recipe from magazine, so it will a bit different with the one that i make from my book, but still its delicioso!
We used Nestle chocochips so its easy to melt with sauce made by Collata white chocolate. Perfect snack in the afternoon :D hhaha, oh yea, we made another shape inspired by Amanda's new cute pig spatula from Ace Hardware!
Look like a pig isn't it? hehe. Maybe i will make another shape later. Well thanks for reading and have a great Sunday!
