Need I say more. Seriously need I say more? I love pancakes. I love pancakes because …well. Let us just stop talking and make these okay? Make them on the new year’s first Sunday as breakfast or on a day you know you will feel deep misery – like a Monday. I have them with honey and chocolate syrup because personally, I am not a huge fan of maple syrup because frankly, the maximum you can do with them is eat them with pancakes and tell me, just how many times do you make pancakes in a month? But that’s just me – if you are one of those entirely unreasonable perfectionists, go ahead, try your maple syrups and pancake syrups. Me, I am a honey person all the way.

Golden Pancakes With Honey & Chocolate Syrup

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes for four pancakes (do the math)
Recipe Source: Me
Serves: 2 (assuming you are eating six normal sized pancakes each)

You need:
1 1/2 cups of flour (roughly 185 gms)
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
2 tbsp castor sugar
1 cup milk
1 large egg
3/4 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp butter melted
Hersheys chocolate syrup
Honey
Another obscene amount of butter for serving

Sieve the flour, baking powder, salt into a mixing bowl.

– Sieve in the sugar too.

– Now crack open an egg.
Beat the egg lightly, add milk, vanilla. Mix.
Melt some butter and cool it down.
Pour the egg-milk-vanilla into the dry ingredients and gently mix until no lumps remain.
Add the butter.
You will have a batter that resembles sponge cake batter, only thinner.
– Heat a girdle (mine’s a dosa tawa, to be honest and I plan to get a girdle very soon – I cannot stand using my dosa tawa for making pancakes and tortillas for some inexplicable reason). Add butter or just spray on some cooking spray like I have done.
Spoon the batter – look at these? These are teensy pancakes. I don’t know why I like most edible things small sized.
Flip – mine are a TAD bit overcooked on this side. Do not be like me.
Take a plate – this is my new favourite white plate. Drizzle it with honey. Plonk the pancake on it.
Lather some butter on it.
– Now drizzle some chocolate syrup. Gulp. I am fainting here.

Or stack them up. Each pancake has a generous splat of butter and honey and chocolate syrup out here. I have died and gone to heaven.

Happy new breakfast!
