Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce


I'm head over heels for pancakes especially when granny make them for me. I still remember how she'd add some fresh desiccated coconut in the batter and she'd make it real thin like a crepe.

Instead of reinventing her version of pancake, i made my very own version. I'm not exactly sure what should be in the batter so i just followed my gut feelings on this. Usually i'd jst get the pancake premix and jst add milk n eggs there you have it , ur pancake batter.

Ingredients

PANCAKES
* flour
* salt
* sugar
* eggs
* milk
* baking powder
* baking soda
* extra virgin olive oil

Method:
1) Whisk all the ingredients together and let it stand for 30mins - 1 hour
2) Give the non-stick a quick rub with olive oil or butter on a paper towel before you start flippin your pancakes
3) Pour the batter on the non-stick and when tiny holes formed on the surface its time to flip your pancake over
Note :
The usage of oil/butter after each pancake, the surface of your pancakes would turn crispy so to avoid tht only rub your pan with oil/butter once before you start making your pancakes.

Those that fancy a sweeter pancakes, add more sugar/soft brown sugar.

STRAWBERRY SAUCE
* fresh strawberries
* orange juice
* honey

Method:
1) Wash and cut out the stems and leaves of the strawberries and roughly chopped it or cubed it
2) Add freshly squeeze orange juice together with the freshly diced strawberries and bring it to a slow heat , constantly stirring
3) If the orange juice is already sweet, you can omit the honey, otherwise add honey/soft brown sugar until you reach the taste you favour.

Note:
You can add a lil corn flour into the sauce to thicken it. For a great homemade sauce, it would be good to get some really sweet and juicy strawberries. As for me , i made it with strawberries imported from Korea; its really sweet and fragrant.
