9.5.11: Making pancakes

As his tooth was still hurting, E asked for pancakes instead. I found an easy pancake recipe online here and followed the recipe. 

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• cooking spray

Directions

1. Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour".
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into "soured" milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

I was surprised at how easy it was to do such fluffy pancakes, similar to the ones sold at McD. It's so much cheaper to make our own than to buy outside. 2 pancakes plus coffee / tea costs RM8++ at McD and a box of pre-mixed pancake flour costs around RM8+ and can only make 6 pieces of pancakes. Thus, it's better to make our own.
