Tryst with Grub

Continental breakfast spreads always include Pancakes, Crepes or Waffles. Accompanied by a  plethora of sauces they are a yummy breakfast option for all. However they do not rank high up on the health scale because of refined flour butter and all the ingredients that make it yummy. We normally get Pancake mix when either of our parents visit us. They are available in stores here but I must admit a bit expensive for regular consumption. A couple of days back, my other half expressed a desire for pancakes. We were out of pancake mix and we are trying this whole 'live healthy' lifestyle. This resulted in the following recipe. It uses multi-grain Atta which is obviously healthier compared to all purpose flour. There is no butter in the recipe and based on my wife's opinion it tasted delish (Rachel Ray Jargon :) )

Put one cup of Atta, half a cup milk, one egg, a pinch of baking soda into a bowl. Whisk well and add water according to the consistency that you need. More water for crepes. Less for Pancakes. Heat your non stick pan to a decent temperature and pour your batter. Wait till the mixture bubbles up and the water dries out. Turn the pancake on the other side and transfer it to your plate in a few seconds. There you are. Simple and Healthy. Serve with Maple/Date Syrup or Honey.
