Imagine your child has a little guest. He is healthy, doesn't have any allergies or intolerances and is hungry. You would like to prepare something yummy to make him feel good in your home. Usually, tomato soup, sausages with ketchup or spaghetti do the trick. Likewise, crepes and crumpets guarantee success. You can nearly always find a version, sweet or with vegetables, which your guest will relish. However, every mum knows that sometimes you can encounter with wonder a child who doesn't like either ketchup or spaghetti. Let us suppose optimistically that your guest isn't my son
Today I propose a recipe for express crumpets in the American style called "pancakes". Sometimes, I don't know why, they are confused with crepes. In contrast to crepes, you have to use baking powder, baking soda or yeast. Pancakes can be prepared with milk, buttermilk or kefir, and are served with maple syrup, yoghurt sauce and with fruit or jam.
Today I chose pancakes with kefir, and my children wanted maple syrup and blueberries. If it wasn't for my lack of time in the morning, pancakes could be an excellent idea for breakfast. In my home it is more suitable for cream tea. I don't know wherein lies their secret, but in my opinion pancakes could be prescribed by the doctor to improve your mood. In times of autumnal depression, I recommend adding a bit (or a bit more than a bit) of whipped cream.
Ingredients:
200g of kefir
2 eggs
150g of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
half a teaspoon of baking soda
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 tablespoon of oil
Mix the kefir in with the eggs. Add the sieved flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and oil. Mix them in thoroughly. Fry on a low heat until golden. When small holes appear on top of the pancakes it is a sign that you should turn them over. Serve at once, richly doused with maple syrup.
Enjoy your meal!
