Lets begin this kids special week with our very own Pan Cake. I know and am sure you all must have tried making pancake at home for your kids several times. It is one common breakfast meal for your little ones and for the elder ones as well. It is healthy as it has egg & milk. Lets make it more healthier with some hide and seek tricks !!
Ingredients:
Maida - 1 cup
Sugar : 2 tbsp.
Eggs : 2 eggs
Milk : 1/2 cup
Baking powder : 1/2 tsp
Vanilla Essence: 1 tsp
One small ripe banana
oil to shallow fry the pan cake
Few chopped cherries
Honey for garnish
Method:
In a large mixing bowl, sieve the maida (flour), Baking powder well. In another bowl, mix the eggs and milk until it gets smooth. Add the vanilla essence, sugar and beat them well to get a smooth fluffy texture. Now in the maida and baking powder mixture, add one ripe nicely mashed banana and mix well. Pour in the milk and egg mixture now to the maida,banana, baking powder mixture and beat them well again till we reach a smooth texture.
Now in a non-stick pan, heat small quantity of vegetable oil . With the help of a round big spoon, pour the mixture into the pan. Size of the pan cake depends upon your choice and the spoon size as well. I normally like to make large round pancakes and give them different shapes with the help of different cookie cutters available these days in market. After pouring the batter into the pan, sprinkle the chopped cherries on to the upper side. Cook it till the lower side is golden brown. Once it changes its colour, flip upside down. Cook the same till the other side too is golden brown.
Transfer the ready pancake now to a dish. Make the rest of the pancakes as well ..Did you notice how we used the cherries in the pancake . This is going to give the regular pancake a nice colour on the top and a little crunchiness while eating the pancake. You can use other fresh/canned fruits like blue berries/apricots/black berries . Also like I used banana to add a health factor and flavour to this pancake , you can use par boiled mashed apples, pears etc. according to your kid's choice of fruit.
Serve these hot pancakes with honey/chocolate syrup/strawberry syrup/Jam etc in their breakfast or their lunch box to school. I give my little girl pancakes with honey with icing sugar dusting on it, as you can see in the picture, again to make it more healthier.
Enjoy !!
