Breakfast is first meal of the day. One of the most delicious and easy to make breakfast option is a pancake. A pancake is a flat bread or cake, usually round in shape made on a flat hot pan. Pancakes are called by different names in different countries but the procedure to make remains the same with addition or deletion of some of the ingredients. In some European countries pancakes are not only served as breakfast but also as a part of the dessert. Basic ingredients required to make a pancake is flour, milk and eggs. Pancakes can be eaten plain or with honey, butter, maple syrup,chocolate syrup, stuffed with fruit and also with cheese.
There are a lot of variety of pancakes which have been served as deserts in fancy restaurants like chocolate-chip pancake, nutella pancake, banana pancake, oreo pancake, blueberry pancake, red velvet pancake and many others. My favourite is nutella pancake and also the original classic plain pancake. I did try making this at home, it was not only very easy to make but also turned out to be amazing. Here’s the recipe for my version of nutella pancake and also I have mentioned the recipe for making original plain pancake served with maple syrup:
