Everyone loves pancakes. However it stands important that a perfect pancake be not just round and soft but also tasty. Another important issue while making pancakes is that usually they are made of Maida but the version I make is out of flour or atta making these pancakes much more nutritious. This version of pancakes is a perfect Sunday treat for my family. Bon apetit.
Time Taken: 15mins
Serves: 2-3 persons
Pointers:
1. Perfect circles or near perfect circles are essential for restaurant quality pancakes. You can easily achieve that by using a blender jug or any other jug to pour the batter into the pan.
Ingredients
1. Flour/atta 1 cup
2. Eggs 2 no's.
3. Sugar ( preferably castor) ½cup
4. Chocolate powder (I use Hershey's) ½ cup
5. Oil (refined) ¼ cup
6. Baking powder 1 tsp
7. Vanilla extract ½ tsp
8. Milk ½ cup
9. Strawberries 10-12
10. Chocolate sauce (I use Hershey's)
11. Honey 1 tbsp
Method:
1. Take a blender jug and add flour, eggs, sugar, chocolate powder, oil, baking powder, vanilla extract and milk into it. Blend the mixture into a smooth bubbly consistency. Set aside.
2. Heat a nonstick pan. Once hot add a small amount of the mixture into it.
3. As the round cakes on the pan cook you will find bubbles on the surface. And as the upper surface becomes somewhat dry turn and cook the other side. Don't overcook them. With the mixture I make around 6-7 pancakes.
4. Simultaneously, remove 5-6 large strawberries and finely chop the remaining ones. Take honey in a bowl and add the finely chopped strawberries into it and mix well.
5. On the serving plate place one chocolate pancake on top of it generously pour chocolate sauce and place another chocolate pancake on top if it. Garnish the pancake with chocolate sauce half cut strawberries and strawberry salad on the side.
