This is not the first time that Im making pancakes. I'e made the amateur found-on-google pancakes before but somehow I didn't like them much. So I tried to follow it instruction by instruction. Instructions called for vanilla pancakes with butter. Sounded pretty good. With my sister on a nutritionist-informed diet and the house practically empty of tasty food, I decided on these.
I altered the recipe so that I'd only make one pancake, and it went okay. I melted like half a tablespoon butter, mixed it with the half teaspoon vanilla, added the single egg. Whisked in the 2 and a half tablespoon of maida, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 tablespoon milk. Put it on the tawa and waited.
The instructions said wait for bubbles and then turn. I saw like 3 tiny bubbles and waited for more. They didn't come. I normally flip them by this time but the instruction said bubbles. I waited a bit more. Then giving up as most the batter looked cooked, I turned to see the backside layer starting to burn....
Anyway I cooked it and scraped off the burnt part, wasn't that bad. But reminds me that even though you are reading instructions, never leave your own judgement out. Till another time that I try doing this. Maybe I'll go back to chocolate pancakes. *sigh*
