Hubby’s favourite (Pancake)
I’ve found pancake recipe from smittenkitchen.com, my favourite food blog. So far I have tried many recipes from this awesome food blog. The texture of the pancake is really soft and perfect portion for two. I made berry syrup and toasted walnuts to go with it. I feel like saying thank you to Deb (from smittenkitchen) for sharing many good recipes.
The Balsamic Vinegar sat in the cupboard for a while after I bought it because my husband and I normally use a citrus dressing for salad. Today, I chose balsamic vinegar to be the main sauce for our dinner. First, I made crispy bacon (as mentioned before : my husband loves crunchiness). I sweetened the vinegar with honey and added salt and pepper to balance the vinegary taste. I let it simmer in the pan until the sauce reduced to half. We bought cheese ravioli from the supermarket, but you can choose or make any of your favourite ravioli. After the ravioli was cooked, I added it to the balsamic sauce and topped it with crispy bacon, toasted walnuts and parsley. Now, the balsamic vinegar won’t be as lonely in the cupboard for long stretches anymore.
I know when people talk about pancakes, it seems so easy and standard for people around here. I come from a place where people eat rice daily — even in the morning. So making pancakes has become a new experiment for me. I picked the ingredients that I enjoy eating such as: banana, walnuts and chocolate chips. It sounds simple, but my lemon cinnamon syrup is the special surprise twist for these pancakes. The recipe is very basic : equal parts of lemon juice and sugar and one small cinnamon stick. Bring it to boil and it’s ready to go with your pancakes. Woohoo!
