Ok, now that you've got your tongues back, wipe that drool off your keyboard. We have two lil' announcements. Ready?

~Sulu's Birthday

Happy (belated) Birthday to a wonderful friend, whom it seems I have known all my life. Hope you had a wonderful Birthday, and I'll try not to be so late next year. :-)

~ Deepavali
To talking Manglish with a mouthful of murukku. To stealing sweets at any given opportunity, and running away before you get caught. To listening to ol- elderly telling you stories about their Deepavalis. To dodging as many marriage proposals as possible. To loving every minute of it.

HAPPY BELATED DEEPAVALI.

Now, onto Pancakes. Nothing quite says 'I Love You' like a tray of these in the morning,drenched in syrup. However, why limit yourself? Throw in fruit, nuts. or even better, chocolate. :-) By way of my first and favourite cook book, 'How to Be a Domestic Goddess' by Nigella Lawson.

Pancakes
~225 g all purpose flour
~1 tbsp baking powder (yes, that actually reads 1 tablespoon)
~pinch of salt
~1 tsp sugar (the syrup will make up for it)
~2 eggs
~1 tbsp butter, melted
~3oo ml milk
~butter, for frying.



If you're not exactly a morning person, just measure everything out into a blender and let rip. If you like morning rituals, Mix dry ingredents in a bowl. Whisk melted butter, milk and eggs together, then add to dry stuff. Whisk well. Leave covered for 15-30 minutes. Heat up your flat pan. When ready to cook, melt a little butter and move around to coat. Dollop on batter. You'll know the pancake in ready to be flipped if the top surface starts looking like an unmaintained Malaysian road. Bumpy that is. Infact, now is a great time to add those fruits, nuts or chocolate. When top resembles toad skin, flip pancake and cook for another 30 seconds or so. Dish up. Indulge.
