When I am a bit nervous I like to cook. It relaxes me.
So today I made pancakes.
[ Napoli, Italy - February 2009 ]
Here there are my little creatures :D This time I am fully proud of myself, they were perfect: very high and solft, also not so sweet (I don't like too sweet pancakes).
So here I give you my personal recipe:
- 3 cups of flour ( I used normal white flour)
- 1 egg well beaten
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 teaspoons of baking powder
I mixed first the flour with the milk, then added butter, sugar and the egg. Be sure it is well mixed and it is also not too liquid. Then add as last the baking powder.
Heat te frying pan a bit, then put a small amout of the mixture in it slowly, so it creates a circle. - On this step I never put oil or butter in the pan (and my mother complains always about it), but if you put oil or butter it ruins the taste of the pancake, so I suggest using a non-stick frying pan, so all your problems are solved :P
Once it is done on a side you can overturn the pancake.
Oh, the heat must be not too high.
That's it :D Very very easy!
If you try them let me know how it goes ;)
