Pancakes

I don't usually make entries for breakfast, but this was a special request from an enthusiastic reader , muahaha. ;)

Now that exams are almost here, classes are over and I have more time to spend on cooking breakfast. To celebrate, I decided to make pancakes! :D I remember the first time we tried making pancakes. I must've been about 7 or 8 years old. Following the 'recipe' we obtained from the book about a giant pancake that did not want to be eaten (o.0) Ka Anum actually managed to make a pretty decent batter, with eggs, flour, butter and salt.

Our main mistake, however, was in cooking the pancake. The book said that the pancake was cooked until it was golden brown on one side, then flipped over. We waited patiently for the whole thing to turn golden brown. We saw brown lines on it, but we figured that wasn't enough. So we waited and waited. Next thing we knew...the whole thing was black on one side, but still creamy on the other! A complete disaster. We fed it to our pets, hahaha.

Now, more than 10 years on, we've become smarter, muahaha. We know how to make pretty decent pancakes ;) I never would've guessed that there were so many different kinds. I, myself, prefer crepes (very thin slightly salty pancakes) , coz I'm a salty kinda girl :P That was most likely the one in the book we got the pancake idea from. They don't turn golden brown so easily. But today, I decided to make *real* pancakes. Sweet and thick.

They turned out ok. Hadi certainly loved them, since he has a major sweet tooth. But considering the amount of sugar in them, I don't think I would be making them so often. Crepes are certainly a bit healthier, I would think. The recipe I used was also a bit weird, it used buttermilk instead of milk ... In the end, I had to modify it considerably to get a workable batter. It tasted nice enough though, so that's good. And the whole thing definitely tasted good with a lot of butter *drool* I won't be posting the recipe though, since I had no idea how much stuff I added to modify it. There are plenty of good pancake recipes on the Internet though. Have fun cooking!
