Strawberry Pancakes

 

Do you like pancakes? I bet if you asked youngsters that question today, everyone will agree with you.  

Pancakes are very popular in Indonesia now, as restaurant serving Pancakes widely open around the city. Either being part of the mall, or having their own building.  

Such examples are Pancious Pancake, Pancake Parlour, and Mr. Pancake. Those are the most popular Pancake restaurant in Jakarta based on detikfood's review. Though detikfood chose Pancious as its favorite, mine still goes to Mr. Pancake, especially in Setiabudi 1 building.  It's cozy and noise-free environment, good hospitality, and taste, especially it's Pancake topping, made me always chose it when I had a meet up with my ex colleagues. 

Anyhow, It's been a while since I've tasted how pancake melt in my mouth, and I missed it so much, that I'd like to try a recipe which texture and taste gets any closer with my favorite pancake. 

So I browsed some of the Pancake recipes, and I found out that to make your Pancake moist and fluffy, you need to add some buttermilk, milk only, or vegetable oil. 

For today, I chose to use recipe from allrecipes which use vegetable oil in it, but after having read the review, I then decided to use melted butter. 

Ingredients :

- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter

Strawberry Sauce :
- Take 3 tablespoons of strawberry jam, and dissolve it in 2 tablespoon of warm water. 

Directions :

1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in milk, egg and melted butter. Mix until smooth.

2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

3. Pour strawberry sauce and icing sugar on top of it, yummmy
