My favourite dish

On a lazy Sunday morning I like to sleep a bit longer and eat my favourite dish of all time. I’m sure you guys will probably have heard of it and if you didn’t.. SHAME ON YOU

I’m talking about the famous ‘American Pancakes’. You can create them in a way you like them the most, you can use different toppings, other syrups, candy, fruit … Everything YOU like (and go crazy!!)

My favourite way of the American Pancakes is with hot chocolate sauce and banana, not that special but once you’ve tasted it.. you’ll understand why it’s my favourite dish.

Everybody loves pancakes (or at least the most of you) just like me, and certainly when they’re fluffy like the clouds…
And the combination of chocolate and banana is just heavenly!

Let’s start with the ingredients:
– 200 grams all-purpose flower
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
– 1 vanilla stick
– 3 deciliters milk + extra
– 50 grams butter + extra
– 1 egg
– a pinch of salt
– 1 banana
– 50 grams dark chocolate

! First of all, you have to measure every ingredient exactly, otherwise you American Pancakes won’t be fluffy and that’s quite an important characteristic of an American pancake!

1. Take the mixing bowl of the food processor and add: the flour, the baking powder, the vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt.
2. Cut the vanilla stick in two lengthwise. Scrape all seeds from the pod halves with a knife tip. Add them to the mixing bowl with dry ingredients.
3. TIP You can put the pods of the vanilla pod in a jar of sugar. After a while you will get delicious homemade vanilla sugar. It’s a small effort.
4. Place a pan on a low heat and melt the butter in it.
5. Measure the right amount of milk. Add the egg and beat it in the milk. Also pour in the melted butter.
6. Place the pot with flour & co in the food processor. Let the machine run at medium speed.
7. Gradually pour in the mixture of milk, egg and butter. Continue until you obtain a level fitting. Then use a pancake to stir the batter thoroughly, so that there are no lumps in the batter. Let the machine mix afterwards – and if necessary – the batter briefly.
8. Optional You can sprinkle some slices of banana in the pancake mixture. Keep aside the rest of the banana slices.
9. Heat a frying pan or frying pan on a medium to high heat.
10. Use a little bit of the extra butter to grease your pan.
11. Use a small ladle to pour the batter from the pancakes into the pan. Pour pancakes of about 12 cm diameter into the hot pan.
12. Let the underside bake golden brown and turn each pancake over.
13. Take a little little bowl and put the chocolate and the extra milk in it. Now place that bowl into the microwave for 2 minutes and stir.
14. Take a plate, build a tower of pancakes, cover them with the hot chocolate sauce and finish with the slices banana.
15. ENJOY!

Tasty greetings
