Homemade pancakes with homemade strawberries jam!!!

Today, me and Enna had pancakes for our breakfast. Walaupun dalam keadaan terkejar-kejar nak basuh baju, lipat baju, gosok baju and mandi, sempat lagi aku menunaikan hajat to prepare the pancakes. And, the pancakes come with the homemade strawberries jam! How wonderful is that! So, ayuh kita tengok cara-cara nak buat pancakes and strawberries jam.

Strawberry jam while hot...

We bought very ripe strawberries at Jusco in Austin. Since dah 50% slash on the price, so we just bought them thought of blending them for a juice. Anyway, sebab dah terlampau ranum bila bawak ke Melaka, I switch them to jam and this is the first time belajar buat jam. Try to get few inspiration from recipes on internet and this is the recipe which come out of my mind. I made this the night before, refrigerate for our breakfast.

Strawberries Jam

Strawberries

Sugar (depends on the amount of your strawberries)

Pinch of salt

Lemon peel (parutan kulit lemon)

Lemon juice (depends tahap kemasaman yang korang nak)

Cardamom (buah pelaga...bubuh lah satu dua biji)...for more aroma

Method:

1. Mix all the ingredient and cook in a pot with a medium heat.

2. Tunggu sampai warna jadi gelap dan likat (this will take time, so selalu tengok tak nak jadi strawberry gula hangus pulak).

3. Siap untuk dimakan dengan roti.

The blue bowl (dry ingredient) and yellow bowl (wet ingredient)

Pancakes

1 mug of flour

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon bikarbonat soda

pinch of salt

1 teaspoon of sugar

fresh milk (depends on the mixture)

1 egg

1 tablespoon of melt butter

As you can see from the pic above, I separate the dry ingredient (flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and bika) from wet ingredient (milk, egg and butter). Mix well both ingredients, then baru satukan dalam adunan tepung. Kita nak adunan not too runny and not too thick. So, pandai-pandailah main ngan susu, nak tambah banyak mana.

Ready batter mixture for fry...

I just use non-stick pan, tak payah nak sapu butter sebab adunan dah ada butter. For pancakes, its normal to have those tiny holes, because that shows pancake you menjadi. Kalau tak ada holes tuh, hmmm...kena check balik, mungkin tak bubuh baking powder and bika. Hihihi...

p/s: Potluck on this Friday at CDP, kalau ada kerajinan mungkin masak kot. ;)
