Pancakes Time

Bittersweet
Hello guys!

Who among you doesn't like pancakes? Well, we love them!
Our pancakes take certain characteristics from the Holland pancakes and some peculiarities from the
British ones.
Furthermore we add a personal touch: the yeast. It is at this point that the pancakes road is separated
forever from that of waffles and get a recipe of their own.
This tasty recipe includes simple but nutritious ingredients: milk, flour, eggs, butter and
sugar, mixed together to obtain a fairly liquid batter to be poured into a pan placed on a
high heat. The pancakes are cooked first on one side and then on the other, until both sides
assume a brown color. As "dressing", then you only have to choose: honey or maple syrup,
butter and banana slices, berries and powdered sugar. Anything that makes you come up
with the idea of a tasty breakfast is fine for pancakes… but they are also good natural!
Let's see how to prepare this tasty dish!


What we need?

200 gr of flour
2 teaspoons of yeast
1\2 teaspoons of salt
1 spoon of sugar
2 eggs
250 ml of milk
3 spoons of oil



Sift the flour into a bowl, add a pinch of salt,
 a teaspoon of sugar
and baking powder.



Divide the egg whites from the yolks: mix both with electric mix.


In another bowl mix the milk and melted butter in a double boiler, combine the egg yolks,
add powdery ingredients and finally the egg whites. Now mix!













Butter to grease a pan, pour a ladle of the compound rolling the pan to distribute it well and
cook on both sides until you reach a brown color.


And finally enjoy these wonderful desserts in good company!

Glossary
Recipe: If you follow the recipe closely, your meal should turn out fine
Yeast: Bakers use yeast to turn flat, sticky dough into tall, fluffy bread. The yeast interacts with sugar and fills the bread with pockets of air as it bakes
Yolk: A yolk is the inner, yellow part of an egg. If you order eggs "sunny side up," those "suns" are the egg yolks
Melted: changed from a solid to a liquid state
Teaspoon: a small spoon used for stirring tea or coffee
Bowl: a bowl is a rounded dish that holds food. Many people start the day with a bowl of cereal
Sift: to bake a cake, you sift the flour to get out the lumps. When you sift, you separate one thing from another
Maple syrup: made by concentrating sap from sugar maples
Furthemore: just when you think your friend has finished her long list of complaints, she begins a new sentence with, “Furthermore…” a word that signals she has even more to complain about
Waffle: you might think of a waffle as a grid-patterned pancake-like food that's tasty with syrup, and you'd be right. But the word is also a verb that means to avoid making a definitive decision
Batter: a semiliquid mixture of flour, egg, and milk or water used in cooking, especially for making cakes or for coating food before frying
