This is typically one of the lazy and feel’in like having pancakes kind of weekends. Well, everyone deserve to have such occasional sweet treats, right?
I do have an easy recipe (with a special ingredient) to share, check it out:
This makes about 12 medium-sized (serving 2-3 persons), preparation and cooking about 30 mins
Ingredients
– Plain white flour 250g
– 2 tablespoon baking soda
– 2 tablespoon caster sugar (I am using organic coconut sugar)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoon of melted butter (you can substitute it with olive oil too), some extra for cooking
– 1 large egg
– 500ml of milk
– 2 teaspoon of Moringa ground powder (*special/optional)
Moringa powder! This is the special ingredient I like to add to my pancakes. For those of you who are not familiar with Moringa, it is a plant originally found in Africa/South Asia. It a super health food and is known to be rich in anti-oxidants. It resembles the Japanese Matcha (given its greenish color), but with a much subtle taste. You can easily blend Moringa powder into your smoothies or yoghurts too! This would be my pancake hack – adding Moringa for a healthy boost!
Steps
– Sift the flour, baking soda, sugar, salt and Moringa powder into a large bowl
– With a kitchen machine, mix the ingredients. Then gradually whisk in the milk, egg and melted butter until you have a smooth batter
– Let the batter rest for 5 mins
– Heat up a non-stick frying pan and add a knob of butter
– Scope up a ladle of batter into the frying pan and let it cook until you see bubbles appear on the top of the pancake
– Turn the pancake over, cook until both sides are golden brown
– Continue with the batter until it is finished! In the meantime, start layering the cooked pancakes (this is the fun part don’t you agree?) and keep warm with a piece of aluminium foil
Serving
Maple syrup is a MUST to go with pancakes for me. We like to add fresh fruits too, especially blue berries or ananas, which blend in very well with the taste of maple syrup!
Enjoy the recipe and Bon Appétit!
