For breakfast,
Sanya
likes grapefruits followed by a bowl of "All Bran" cornflakes
before the main breakfast dish. Our main breakfast dishes are as
follows:-
-
Pancakes, two
times a week.
-
Boiled yams with
fried or scrambled eggs and sauce, twice a week.
-
Baked beans with
fried eggs, with sweet or Irish potatoes and tomatoes, twice a week.
-
Nigerian porridge
(Eko) or Quaker oats porridge,
once a week.
To make the pancakes
more interesting for us, I decided to vary it as follows:
-
Plain pancakes
-
Lemon pancakes
-
Tangerine
pancakes and
-
Orange pancakes.
If your family takes a
lot of pancakes as we do, you can delight them by varying it as
I do. Here is how.
Plain Pancake:
Ingredient for 2
persons
-
2 or 3 fresh eggs.
-
2 cup full of
Flour.
-
A teaspoon full of baking powder.
-
A pinch of salt or
to taste.
-
One cup of skimmed
milk
-
A spoonful of
sugar or to taste.

Preparation
-
Shift the flour to
remove lumps.
-
Break the eggs and
mix thoroughly with an egg beater.
-
Make a barter
mixture from the ingredients.
-
Grease the frying
pan with a little cooking oil
-
Transfer the
barter into a jug, add some hot water to thin as required.
-
Pour some barter
into the frying pan on the hot cooker plate.
-
Cook gently and
when brown turn it over.
-
Keep warm in the
oven before serving.
Variations
-
For Lemon pancakes
-- squeeze some lemon juice on the prepared pancake before
serving.
-
For Tangerine
pancakes -- squeeze some tangerine juice on before serving.
-
For Strawberry
pancakes -- take a spoon full or two of strawberry jam
and spread it on the pancake when it is still hot.
-
For honey pancakes
spread some on the cooked pancake before serving.
-
Orange pancakes
are a little different. You need to get some
grated orange rinds and mix
the rind with the batter before cooking in the
frying pan. To get a good rind, wash a ripe orange and dry
it with a clean kitchen cloth. Place your grater on a bowl
and grate the rind which is the part you usually peel off
the orange.
ENJOY.
