Pancakes

As I will be moving house soon, I am trying to use up all the ingredients in the kitchen so that I do not have to pack and bring them along to the new place. As such, the normally well stored cabinets with dry food for my weekend breakfast are mostly cleared. I am thinking of cooking something easy and basic for tomorrow's breakfast. Pancakes!

I have never attempted pancake before and I have a brand new packet of all-purpose flour sitting in the cabinet. This will be good opportunity for me to start using it.

Ingredients:
(yields 3 servings)

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tbsp sugar

1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp exra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp chocolate chips

Syrup for the toppings:
1/2 cup honey
3 tbsp butter (cubed)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Method:

1) Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder & salt) in a bowl.

2) Mix wet ingredients (eggs, milk & oil) into dry ingredients and form the batter. Stir in the chocholate chips.

3) Pour the batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot non-sticked pan.

4) Turn when bubbles form on top & cook until second side is golden brown.

5) For the syrup, microwave, uncovered, on high until butter is melted and syrup is hot, stirring occasionally.

6) Serve with pancakes.

Outcome:

It is a little bit too rubbery for the texture. I had 2 pieces and had to stop eating it as they are not like those pancakes that I had before. I think it will be a long time before I start making pancakes again.
