I felt odd clicking the publish button. As my last post was way too back in time. A big no in the blogging arena. The guilt that I had abandoned my blog was way too much than I could take. Life moves on bringing with it new challenges and changes. You have to make way for those and that means pushing certain things aside for some time. I have started working from home. Between raising the kids, doing household chores and working, I found some time to post a recipe, requested by my friends when I posted a photo of it, on Facebook.
I had not known fluffy American style pancakes before coming to Qatar. What we referred to as pancakes back in Sri Lanka has actually been crepes, a batter of white flour;milk and eggs. I had a friend in Qatar who used to send pancakes made out of boxed mixes you get easily here Β in the Middle East. They are so fluffy,light and topped with butter melting on top and syrup trickling from sides. Needless to say I was hooked. I started making my own from scratch and the kids devoured it.
Later as I became more health conscious, I tweaked the recipe to add more wholesome ingredients. Oats and Wholewheat flour replaced All-Purpose Flour. Honey instead of syrup. It didn’t disappoint and came out well than anticipated. Kids didn’t mind the changes and for me,that’s the sign for a keeper. Paired with bananas, it is a favorite among us now.
