Basic pancakes

Hello everyone!!!

Thanks for the overwhelming response by all. 

Here is a simple breakfast recipe for pancakes. The day i introduced this for the first time to my hubby , irfaan, he loved it so much that he demanded pancakes for breakfast the entire week...:).

Its adapted from martha stewart. It goes like this.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour, (maida) (spooned and leveled)

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil

1 large egg

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Assorted toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, confectioners' sugar, honey, jams, preserves, sweetened whipped cream, or chocolate syrup

My hubby loves it with maple syrup : )

Method:

1) Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven.

2) In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

3) In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
4) Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.
5) For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet).
6) Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. 
7) Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. 
8)Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.
