Pancake is one of my go to item foe breakfast. So it’s Labor day and all workers all around Nigeria are taking a mini holiday. I have nieces who came over for a sleep over so breakfast has to be something easy for them to manage on their own, whilst they shuttle between checking twitter, Facebook etc,. I made the batter overnight and got them to fry off as they wish. I needed sometime on my own to catch with some reading.
It’s amazing how much we need time savers in today’s world . More women are looking for easy recipes . Recently one of the fans on my Facebook page specifically asked for a pancake recipe, something easy to rustle up for the children in the morning, she says. The beauty of pancake is that you can prepare your batter and keep in the fridge overnight , hopefully you have electricity:)
Children will love you for it. I topped the cakes with a little spread of peanut butter and it was yummy, at least that’s what my niece Coco-Mma told me.
So it’s Mayday and a great opportunity for something other than “bread and tea”, go for your pancake. Much love and chao chao!
