Pancakes :D

Good evening everyone :)

I was looking for almost an hour to find a food blog which I could write about because although I really love eating, I'm a very fussy eater!
There's just one section of food of which I would eat almost everything - the sweet section :D
I don't eat every vegetable, I don't eat every salad, I don't eat every kind of meat .. BUT I eat (let's say almost) every kind of sweet dessert!

Some people, like my mum and my sister, don't like sweet meals that much because it's just a dessert for them. I could eat pancakes, potato noodles with melted butter and poppy seeds, yeast dumpling filled with plum sauce, Kaiserschmarren (sugared pancakes) every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner :D Okay, I don't want to exaggerate but I think it's clear now - I LOVE SWEET THINGS

Maybe this is also the reason why I just want to cook something sweet. I don't like cooking at all. It wastes lots of time and after some minutes everything is eaten up and you have the honor to clean up the mess. ^^
However, I love making pancakes. This is the reason why I looked for a pancake blog.
And I found a really sweet one :)

I already liked this blog when I read the first words on it:

 >>   Nothing says "weekend" like pancakes for breakfast   <<

Isn't this sweet ?! <3

Of course there are lots of different kinds of pancakes but I decided to post you a recipe of Basic Pancakes. Who knows? Maybe other recipes will follow ;)

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Assorted toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, confectioners' sugar, honey, jams, preserves, sweetened whipped cream, or chocolate syrup

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
   
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
   
3. Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.
   
4. For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet).
   
5. Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.
