I missed this as I was only able to enjoy this when I was back to Malaysia (also with the condition the aunty open for business during my stay :P)


I was so happy being able to come across this recipe from Pei-Lin @ Dodol & Mochi.

Take a closer look and oh-la-la.....!!!

- Castor sugar
- Roasted sesame seed
- Canned-style corn

Method:
1. Mix (A). Mix till lump free and cover cling wrap to proof for 30mins or till doubled and bubbly. (Or can let it proof in the fridge the night before and warm up 10 mins next morning)
Please note: If not proof yet, add a bit warm water and rest/cover 15mins


2. In another mixing bowl, mix (B) and add into proved (A).

3. Heat non-stick pan and pour batter till desired thickness (I used 1/2C+a little bit more). (1st pc: 120C, subsequent 140C, I'm using induction cooker. Cover for 1min.)

4. Cover with lid and cook till surface bubbly (not stick). Sprinkle half of the pancake with topping/fillings.

5. Fold the other side.

Buttermilk Pancakes

Nice & spongy pancakes!

Wow, this is really spongy and taste just nice! Very simple recipe and with my daughter's favorite chocolate chips, it certainly the best choice for breakfast or tea break ^.^

I better write down the recipe here so that it can be referred easily:

Ingredients:
# 240g self-rising flour* + 1/4 tsp baking soda --> sift in a bowl
@ 1/4 tsp salt
@ 50g sugar*
@ 375ml buttermilk* (1ml = 1g)
@ 2 eggs* lightly beaten
@ 4 tbsp corn oil/canola oil/sunflower oil*
@ 1/2 vanilla essence

Steps:
1. Add all @ ingredients into # and stir still smooth.
2. Use a 1/3 cup (greased with butter so that batter will not stick on cup while pouring to pan for baking, optional) to scoop the batter and pour on pan.
3. You may put your favorite chocolate chips on top of the batter.
4. DO NOT press the pancake, just wait patiently till you see air-bubbles popping out on the surface.
5. Flip the pancake and cook for a little while (around 40sec - 1mins).
6. Please adjust the heat accordingly ^.^

Dorayaki

Having a great fun with my daughter preparing the batter and bake dorayaki aka pancake?
She hurt herself few times due to the hot pan and finally give up :P blaming me for not telling her, but the last time that causes her to give up, she didn't blame anyone but herself not being careful ^.^ poor gal....

But the next day she wanted me to make this again..and I baked them into alphabets for fun.
