There is this very interesting information which I had come across in my early cooking days when I used to start my cooking by searching the net. On one of those days, I was searching for a recipe for making pancakes!! (yeah you read it right!!) and I found this very interesting piece of information about pancakes. There is a tradition of a "pancake race" in Buckinghamshire where the contestants have to participate in the race carrying a frying pan, and race to the finishing line wearing an apron and tossing the pancake as they race. (Source: Wikipedia) !! :)
Coming back to my recipe, I had seen this recipe by Tasty where the pancakes were stuffed with nutella, and really liked it. I made some changes to suit my child's palate, and the recipe is as follows:
Ingredients: Makes: 3 to 4 pancakes
Maida: 1/2 cup
Baking Powder: 1/4 tsp
Egg: 1
Milk: 1tsp ( u may adjust the milk to get a flowy paste like consistency)
Sugar: 2 tbsp ( i like it sweet)
Vanilla essence: 1/4 tsp
Nutella: 2 tbsp
Honey: to drizzle
Method:
1) Sieve the Maida and baking powder 2 to 3 times in a bowl.
2) Add sugar ( u may powder the granulated sugar for convenience, I sometimes use it for ease; also adjust the sugar according to your taste, I like it sweet);
3) Add egg, vanilla essence, milk and beat it to a smooth paste like consistency.
4) Now in a frying pan put oil, and pour or scoop a portion of the batter into the frying pan, and wait for a second.
5) Here comes the twist, immediately scoop Nutella and spread on the pancake, and then scoop a little more of the pancake batter and pour it over the Nutella,kind of making a sandwich of Nutella with the pancake batter. This has to be done dexterously.
6) Now wait for the bubbles to pop up, and then flip the pancake on the other side.
7) Wait for few seconds and serve it on the plate.
8) Drizzle with honey (generously).
9) Enjoy your pancake with the taste of Nutella in every bite.
