In the mornings, I often spend a good amount of time wondering what we'll have for breakfast. Usually, I try my best to make something fresh and hot, and least I can do is to fry an egg. But if I'm really not in the mood to lift a finger, cereal often does the trick.


A good idea for breakfast is pancakes. These fluffy pancakes that I made for breakfast are more of the american version- thick, light and fluffy. The European version I'm guessing is the crepe pancakes- thin, light and often rolled or folded up with some sort of filling.

I remembered watching jamie oliver on one of his shows and he was making these pancakes with one of his daughters. I don't remember his complete recipe so I took what I could recall and worked from there. The recipe is very simple but can easily be jazzed up with a bit of creativity

• try adding a handful of fresh blueberries or any other small berries.
• serve with different kinds of jams/ flavoured butter/ handfull of fruit-washed and sprinkled with sugar
• or as i did this morning, serve with some chocolate butter sauce ( i melted equal amounts of dark choc chips and butter) or whipped cream

1. mix all ingredients together, making sure there are no lumps left. mix in the melted butter. leave to rest for a few minutes.
2. using a ladle, pour a ladle full of batter into a preheated, lightly oiled frying pan.
3. allow to cook and turn golden brown on one side, then flip and cook other side.
4. stack in a serving plate. One batch made 8 large pancakes- more then enough for 2 people.
5. serve hot with what ever you fancy.
