My name is Feralia Eka Putri. I am teacher at SMA LTI IGM Palembang
now. When I was child my mother told me to be a good wife in future, and one of
the way to be a good wife is about cooking. It sounds funny but it’s true. That’s
why I am interested in cooking, especially for dessert cakes. I am a huge pancake
fan. Pancakes are a type of flat bread, not necessarily sweetened, enjoyed by
cultures around the world. Pancake recipes vary, but all have the same basic
ingredients of flour, eggs and milk. Some countries, like the United States and
Canada, serve pancakes for breakfast while others, such as the European regions,
serve pancakes as desserts or even side dishes. They are eaten plain, with butter,
sprinkled with powdered sugar or filled with pastry, fruit or cheese. Whatever the
tradition, pancakes are a truly universal and enjoyable treat. In our country,
Indonesia, pancake just like a traditional cake called “martabak” which is Bangka
traditional cake. It tastes sweet and sometime combine with chocolate or sugar.
Well, I do have my favorite pancake recipe in my family and I want to share the
reciepe to you. The following ingredients will make about 8 - 10 inch (25cm)
pancakes (more or fewer, depending on the size). You may change the amounts of
ingredients according to the number you wish to serve:
 2 cups (18oz/510g) plain or all-purpose flour
 2 eggs
 1 1/2 cups (350ml) of milk
 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

 2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
 5 tablespoons sugar (optional)
 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt (optional)
The first step is cracking eggs into a bowl and beat until fluffy. Add in the dry
ingredients, (omit baking soda if using self-raising flour), and milk. Do not stir
mixture at this point. The second step is melting the butter in a microwave-safe
bowl. Make sure that it's completely melted; about a minute is sufficient. The
third step is adding the butter and the milk to the mix. Stir gently, leaving some
small clumps of dry ingredients in the batter. Do not blend until completely
smooth. If your batter is smooth, your pancakes will be tough and flat as opposed
to fluffy. The fourth step is heating the frying pan to a medium low flame. If you
have an initial "pancake" setting on your stove, use that. Be sure to use non-stick
spray, or a pat of butter so the pancakes won't stick. The fifth step is making
Sprinkle a few flecks of water onto your pan. If it 'dances', or jumps from the pan
with a sizzle, the pan is ready for the batter. The sixth step is adding pour about 3
tablespoons to 1/4 cup batter from the tip of a large spoon or from a pitcher onto
the hot griddle(Or your greased frying pan). The amount you pour will decide the
final size of your pancakes. It is best to begin with less batter, and then slowly
pour more batter onto the pan to increase the pancake size. The seventh step is
cooking for about two minutes or until the pancake is golden. You should see
bubbles form and then pop around the edges. When the bubbles at the edge of the
batter pop and a hole is left that does not immediately close up, flip the cake
gently. The last step is cooking the other side until golden and remove. If you
want the color more darkness, repeat the steps for another thirty seconds per side
until the pancake is done enough for your tastes. Enjoy! Try adding butter, peanut
butter, syrup, jelly, chocolate chips, cookie or candy crumbles or fruit to your
pancakes for a different, more exciting flavor. The varieties are endless. These are
the most delectable pancakes you will ever taste. Actually I have some tips for
topping your pancakes. You can try chocolate chips (milk or dark), try putting bits
of fruit in the batter (strawberries, bananas, blueberries or cherries). Stir in crisp

bacon bits, a little grated cheese, your favorite nuts, or different spices
(cinnamon). Instead of using butter or non-stick cooking spray on the pan, try
melted bacon fat, which works great, if you are making bacon at the same time as
you make the pancakes. Last but not the least, make sure not to put on high
temperature, or it will taste raw. Let’s try at home!
