Pancakes for my Sunday!

I love this traditional American breakfast very much. I make Pancakes very often, and these soft, and light treats make for a very warm and comfortable breakfast.
In my childhood, my mother would make the savory pancake kinds, with vegetables and mushroom which were delectable. However, ever since I began making the traditional kinds, I feel that these  with maple syrup or honey are my favorites now. It is so very easy to make..one can say it is almost child’s play..


Ingredients- For 2 people
  • Flour- 1 and 1/2 cups
  • Salt- a pinch
  • Baking powder- 1 tsp
  • Egg- 2
  • Milk- 1 cup
  • Butter- 1 Tbsp; later 1-2 cubes to be placed above the ready pancakes
  • Maple syrup/ Honey- to drizzle over the pancakes
  1. Take the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, viz. Flour, Salt, Baking powder and mix.
  2. To this, add Eggs, Milk and whisk till it forms a consistency which is neither too thick nor too runny. 
  3. Over a flat non stick pan, add some butter to the surface. To this add a ladle of this mixture so that it spreads into a roundish shape (it could be any shape you chose, but traditionally it is round).
  4. Let the surface rise up to form bubbles, then flip over to the other side. The one side will then take a light to medium brown hue.
  5. Let both sides turn brownish, and transfer into plates. Scoop out a small cube of butter and let it melt onto the surface of the pancakes while it is warm. Drizzle some honey or maple syrup or chocolate sauce or all of the above together and serve to your children and loved ones.
Voila!

The bad ass buffet at Global Fusion!

I have been to Global Fusion over eight times and I confess that till date I have never been able to taste all the dish on their menu. Such is the 'vastness' of their buffet! The very first time that we had been to this place, we were in for a surprise with this vast spread, but we learnt this soon enough and for our forthcoming trips we have been relatively prepared, because one cannot be fully prepared for this vast array of Asian food choices. Everything on their menu card happens to be on display, and one can order this together or in portions, for a fixed per head cost. Most of everything that they have on display are interesting options and good and the place is good value for money!  View from our Table 29 at Global Fusion Their display includes a Sushi counter. But my favorite is the Baked Prawn with Cheese and the Prawn Tempura. My husband is very fond of their Prawn Tempura and the Iceberg chicken. Their Tempura’s are perfectly crispy on the outside and m...

Stuffed Bagel with Chicken Teriyaki

This is a double whammy of a dish. It is simply my take on a stuffed Bagel , one could stuff it with their desired kind of ingredients. I for one love the sesame crusted Bagels, to go with my Chicken Teriyaki . It is quite a simple dish, yet full of flavor and serves as a heavy snack.                                           Stuffed Bagel ready to be eaten! A good Teriyaki sauce gives grilled chicken a rich auburn color. Our homemade version includes just the right amount of ginger to give it an equally appealing taste. While you can also use boneless breasts for this recipe, boneless thighs stay moister during grilling. MARINADE for the Teriyaki Chicken 1/4 cup Ketchup 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce 2 tablespoons Soy sauce 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar 2 teaspoons minced fresh Garlic 2 teaspoons minced fresh Ginger 2 teaspoons Sesame oil 400 g boneless, skinless chicken...
