Hello again everyone! Here is another recipe for you to try cooking. My young niece, who is 14 years old now, dances with joy every time I serve this to her when I prepare breakfast for them, which is quite seldom, like on Christmas day when they sleep over at home.
Not sure what makes it so special to her, but I have to agree it is delicious, and it is very easy to prepare. It is so easy to buy the ready to cook kind, but it is more fun and delicious when we make things from scratch. :-)
Here are our ingredients then, and you can just double or triple the ingredients based on how many people are eating. If I double the ingredients, 5 people can eat, and they eat a lot.
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk- look at the instructions how to make it
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg, we only the need the white, so separate the yolk
2 tbsp butter, melted
When I cooked this batch, I was cooking at the kitchen of my niece, who just came back from a family vacation in Seoul. I wanted to prepare them breakfast, since their son loves pancakes.
The first thing I do is prepare the buttermilk. Since buttermilk is not very common here in the Philippines, I just make it myself. How? I just squeeze the juice of 2-3 kalamansi over the milk or lemon juice, no stirring, and leave it for a few minutes. The milk should curdle a bit like in the picture, and tada! You have buttermilk.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Set aside.
To separate the egg, when you crack it, you have to have a bowl ready to pour the egg white into and leave the yolk inside the shell. Quite easy to do. Pour the milk and the buttermilk into a mixing bowl. Whisk the egg white into the milk mixture.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients all at once, whisking until just mixed. Again, the flour should not be over beaten, otherwise you will be eating rubbery pancakes. So it okay to have a few small lumps, just squish them with a fork.
Heat your pan, and brush it with the melted butter. I usually just use a big pan and pour about a cup each time, and when we eat we just cut the pancakes into smaller portions.
When you see small bubbles forming on top, you can flip your pancake over. Cook until just a little golden brown on the surface.
If you are in a rush, you can just cook them as big as mine and just cut them when you it. That way, cooking time is much shorter, unless you want to cook for a long time, then you can use a smaller pan and cook them in smaller sizes.
Eat it right after cooking, just spread some butter and syrup over it and its delish. Since they brought home strawberries from Seoul, I sliced some and put it on top. So yummy!
You can also add sliced bananas if you want, according to your preference. Any kind of fruit will do, even blueberries if you have some at home. But they're also perfect and fluffy just as they are. Best eaten with coffee or hot chocolate. Bon appetit!
