So I was actually making some normal pancakes in the morning, into which I added coffee and a few other experiments for fun, but actually turned out pretty great!

      The Strawberry whipped cream was made by mixing a bit of strawberry puree with whipped cream. You may use strawberry juice or syrup. The cream and chocolate syrup make an awesomeliciously balanced combination!

 

Hehe, my Pancake Plate looks better than ever in this picture! 😀

 

The chocolate spiral grooves on the pancake were made when chocolate syrup was poured over the wet (uncooked) side of the batter while the pancake was cooking.

Ingredients:

(BATTER)

4 tbsp all-purpose flour-

1 tsp baking powder-

1/2 tbsp + 1 tsp sugar-

1/2 tsp vanilla essence-

1 egg-

1/2 cup + 1 tbsp milk-

A pinch of Coffee powder

Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup

(TOPPINGS: OPTIONAL)

Strawberry whipped cream

Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup

Strawberries

Method:

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and sugar.
2. In another bowl, whip the egg and add the vanilla essence and milk.
3. Now, slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry one, mixing well. Teh batter should not be too thin or too thick.
4. Next, sprinkle the coffee powder over the batter, and mix until only a few marks of teh coffee are left.
5. Heat a skillet or fry pan, and butter it. Now pour the batter into the pan.
6. Only a few moments after you pour the batter into the pan, pour the chocolate syrup over the wet batter in spirals, and let it sink into the batter. When bubbles start forming on one side, or you feel like the other side is done, flip over. When the other side is done too, take off heat.
7. Follow steps 5-6 for the rest of the batter too. Serve warm with toppings (optional).

Real Swedish Pancakes

Real Swedish Pancakes (Pannkakor)

• Servings: 4 pancakes

Also known as Pannkakor, these delicious pancakes should be thin like crêpes. It’s also important that the skillet is thoroughly and evenly hot before starting. Slightly salty, by the way. If you want a sweet*er* pancake, lessen the salt and add more sugar.

Blueberry Pancakes

One word: Delicious!

Makes: 8

1 cup flour

Ingredients:

1 heaping tbs sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
3 tbs melted butter
approx. 1 cup milk (or buttermilk)
1 pint of fresh blueberries (washed, dried and picked over)
extra butter
good (real)maple syrup

Directions:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together with a big whisk.

2. Mix all the wet ingredients. Make sure you let the butter cool or it will cook the egg. I usually melt the butter in a measuring cup and then fill the rest of the way with milk. Use more milk for thinner pancakes. Use less milk for thick, fluffy American pancakes!

3. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid. Use the whisk to combine everything.

4. Use a 3/4 dry measuring cup to scoop the batter onto a medium to low heated skillet. Use lower heat so that the tops won’t burn. Don’t worry if the blueberries seem like they are too big, the batter will rise up to engulf them.

5. I find that the key to making good pancakes is to wait until bubbles rise up through the batter and the edges are about 1/2 the radius cooked towards the center. This is when I flip the pancake over to get them a nice golden brown.

6. While I make each pancake (this recipe makes about 8 huge flapjacks) I like to put a pat of butter on top after it comes off the pan. I also stack the pancakes so that they keep each other warm and then they are still nice and fresh when they get to the table.

7. Apply your maple syrup generously and CONSUME!

Ice-cream Pancakes

We’ve recently begun doing a lot of pancakes, and this one is my own new recipe! Plus, this pancake can be served chilled or fresh (hot), even though I personally prefer the latter. This quick recipe is great for any time of the day, and can satisfy your taste buds and your stomach, both!

Makes: 1 huge, thin pancake.

Ingredients:

1 whole egg

4-1/4 tbsps all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

2 tsps sugar

2 scoops ice-cream (any flavour)10 tbsps milk

Method:

1. First, mix the milk and ice-cream in a blender.
2. Now mix all the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients in separate bowls.
3. Add the ice-cream milk/shake to the wet mixture. Mix well.
4. Slowly and gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Be careful not to form lumps.
5. Oil a pan. On medium heat, pour the batter in the pan in circles. If you want a thin pancake, which is great for an ice-cream pancake, spread the batter all over the pan. Make sure it is even.
6. Flip over when one side is done or when you see bubbles forming on top.
7. When the other side is also cooked, take off from flame.
8. Serve hot or chilled. Goes great with a scoop of ice-cream in the centre, chocolate syrup etc as toppings.
