pancake

Karena suatu hari pancake mix saya abis, maka bikin deh from the scratch. Ternyata gampil bener.. hemat pula..!, soalnya di thailand ini bw saya gak murah yah kalo beli pancake mix..

Bahan2 :

1. 250 ml susu cair



2. 1 telur



3. 1 tbs baking powder



4. sedikit vanilli



5. 1 cup tepung terigu



6. 2 tbs butter yg dilelehkan

membuatnya :

• kocok telor dan susu



• masukkan sisa bahan lainnya, kocok rata sebentar. Gak usah lama2, lumpy dikit gak papa, justru bikin fluffy



• panaskan pan anti lengket, tuang 1 - 2 centong adonan. Apinya kecil sampe sedeng, gak boleh pakai api besar



• adonan mulai ada gelembung2, tunggu dikit lagi, trus balik. Kedua sisi matang



• Selesai, he..he.. gimana Ita..?, berhasil gak..??

Dihidangkan panas2 biasa saja dengan maple syrup dan butter, atau mau ditambah2 pakai blueberry, banana, dll... terserah. Atau kalau aku seringnya diisi kaya martabak manis, anak2ku paling seneng. Tapi bangunnya harus lebih subuh lagi...!, karena bikinnya consuming time banget.
