Pancakes

                                                                   
What better way to start the day, right? :D I rarely wake up before 10 but on the days I manage to, I like to start my day with something nice. Pancakes are probably the most easiest thing to make but I posted this recipe  anyway.Even if you never made pancakes ever in your life I guarantee this is easy and does not require any technique... all you have to do is mix, pour and flip!

Stuff you need
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 cup milk (or a little bit more if the batter is too tight)
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tablespoon of sugar (or more if you like it more sweet but this does turn out little sweet)
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbs melted butter
1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1. In a large bowl, mix in flour, sugar, salt, baking powder. Mix it a little and then add vanilla essence, melted butter, milk and egg which is beaten.
2. Gently fold it in (and not wrestle and beat the life out of it because that would just make the whole thing dense and too heavy and your pancakes won't be fluffy) until the batter is smooth.
3. On a medium to low flame,heat your non stick pan and very lightly grease it with a little bit of butter, just so that nothing sticks later on.
4.Once the pan is hot, use a ladle to pour the batter. If you hear a faint sizzle, then you know it's right. wait for a minute or two until bubbles start forming on the surface. ( the first two pancakes usually turn out a bit too pale)
5. Once you see the bubbles flip the pancake onto the other side and wait for half a minute or so until its golden brown.

If you are the kind that likes to have pancakes with maple syrup or honey, then its better you reduce the amount of sugar in the batter and increase the salt a little bit more. I love having pancakes with strawberries or cherry jam so I prefer them to be slightly sweet.
Try it and let me know how it turned out.
