Sunday treats

For our Sunday breakfast, we had Dutch pancake (pankoek) with banana, powder sugar & sugar syrup. Yum yummm... ; )


Dutch pancake recipe:
(makes 6-8 pancakes)

• 250g wheat flour
• 5g dry yeast
• 450ml lukewarm milk
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Butter

1. In a bowl, mix dry yeast with half of the milk.
2. Beat the egg in a separate bowl.
3. Pour yeast mixture and beaten egg into the flour. Mix briefly, before adding the rest of the milk, and salt.
4. Stir the mixture - as long as it takes to make a smooth batter.
5. Rest the batter for 30 minutes.
6. To cook the pancake, melt a knob of butter in a non stick pan.
7. When the butter melts, pour in one ladle of batter, swirl it around to make a round pancake. **At this point you will have an idea if the batter if too thick (it does not spread nicely when you swirl the pan) - if this is the case, add some water to the batter.**
8. Once the bottom part is cooked (with brown markings), turn the pancake over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Serve sweet, topped with fruits and/or ice cream, butter, pancake syrup or honey, apple with powder sugar and cinnamon powder.

OR

You can add grated cheese, onion, champignon to the batter while it is cooking in the pan.

OR

Serve topped with smoked salmon and beansprouts, beef stew, etc.

Ikut suka hati. Kalau agak2 nak cicah dgn kari ka sambal belacan ka, silakanlah. Takdak sapa nak marah. Hehehe...

For dinner, we decided to have white rice with tomyam & steamed salmon. Nice & satisfying. Hot & spicy meals go well with cold autumn night - a Malaysian point of view. ;p
