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!

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...
