Pancakes and Kima

Posted in Culinary Flaunt by sere on March 19, 2014

Flour is a tricky ingredient because it needs precise measure. That is why I do less baking or any food that flour is the main ingredient! But when the tummy calls, I have to answer.

Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of Flour.
  • 8 cups of warm water.
  • 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • 3 eggs.
  • 1/4 cup of sugar.
  • 1 tablespoon of Cumin seeds

  1. In a clean bowl, add the flour, baking powder, eggs , sugar, salt and stir.. Gradually add water into the mix to the thickness you prefer. I prefer i light pancake paste. Add the cumin seeds  and cooking oil and stir. Cover with a moist cloth and let it set for 1 hr.
  2. On high heat, place a pan and let it heat up.. add a scoop of the pancake paste on the pan and spread evenly on the pan with a circular motion.
  3. Add cooking oil with a table spoon round the pancake, flip and let the other side cook.. You can add oil if you prefer but i am trying to eat healthy, so less oil for me. Remove when both sides are light brown.
  4. Repeat the process.
