A soft and sweet heaven.... mmmmm...Oat meal and Flour pancakes...
Hi,
Its been ages since I have been meaning to blog... Well... here goes nothing....
I never imagined the world of internet to be so tempting , delicious and a sight for sore eyes... What with all those beautiful blogs... ever since i have been trying out so many of the wonders from these blogs.... I want to thank all those out there who take the time and effort to come up with these delicacies and have a heart to post them and share them with novices like me....
This sweet stack of pancakes are a dedication to those sweet bloggers....
As u must have guessed by my name... i have a sweet tooth... and like my mom says... '' If u paint sugar on a stone I'd probably gobble it up" ;-). And so here is something sweet to begin with... I found a recipe for pancakes in a book from the food network kitchens. They had used corn meal. I substituted it with oats and it turned out pretty good.
So here is th recipe with my modifications :
Ingredients :
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup oat meal ( I used the quick cooking one)
3 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp baking powdr
1/4 tsp salt
a pinch of baking soda
a pinch of ground nutmeg
2 eggs separated
1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Whisk the dry ingredients (flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking pwdr, baking soda, nutmeg)
- In another bowl whisk wet ingredients (egg yolks, yogurt, water, milk, butter, vanilla)
- Whisk dry n wet mixtures together to form a batter
- Whip the egg whites to form soft peaks.
- Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter
- For each pancake I used approx. 1/4 cup of batter on a hot girdle
- Cook till bubbles break the surface . Turn and cook for another minute.
Your pancakes are ready. Its better served right off the stove with maple syrup and a tab of butter. Its a bit rich, so you can lessen the amount of butter used. Also if you do not enjoy the slight eggy flavour of a french toast, you can use one egg yolk instead of two. I do like to experiment with things and I guess cardamom instead of nutmeg and vanilla will give an Indian punch to the pancake. I'll let y'll know when I try the modification...
Cheerios!!
