secret recipe

I remember reading in carrot’s blog, she’s always baking cakes, making pancakes and baking cookies. I so envy her! She has all her ‘friends’ to help her. Is it Andrew? *sorrie, I forgot his name! * Haha, I was talking about her tools to bake. Well, I bought an oven about a year or two ago. And since then, i have bake more than I have ever in my whole life. From orange butter cake to peach butter cake, cheese cakes and tats all that I’ve ever baked! It was all great success, k! Sometimes I feel that I have great talent in cooking! ahaha…*tidak malu!! **

Anyway, after I read what carrots did for her friends, the pancakes, I asked her for the recipe. It was about a month ago. I never got the ingredients ready or time to make. Finally, today, after being disappointed in a couple of things, I decided to make myself happy and make some love pancakes. I followed the ingredients properly and step by step…but it happened that I needed cup. erm…example - 2 and half cup of flour. CUPS??? What kind of cup?? Is it big or small? *puzzled* I decided to use a normal cup and measure everything accordin to it. It was perfect except for my buttermilk, I am 1 cup short! Because I only bought about 250ml. Opps..so, I added more milk instead. Ahaha…sorrie carrots for changing the recipe!

But it turned out very great!!!

Another I found out, I didnt have non-stick pan. The first time I tried making it, it became all mushy and cant even turn it because it was sticking to the pan. BAD! So, I borrowed one from my friend without permission from the owner. Sorrie. I promise to make some for you tmr!

According to Carrots, I am supposed to add some fruits to go with it. Honey or sweet syrups. I went to the supermarket, and the whole market, not a stall has strawberry. Just a few days ago, everywhere there was strawberry and it was cheap!!! rm 12 for 1kg. Where did all the strawberries go??!!! Disappointed again, I went home. Praise the Lord I bought honey a few weeks ago. So, I put in all the stuff that I had.

I made it small because KL thinks it’s really nice. Something she saw in the net. So she thought it might be cute to make the pancakes smaller. And she suggested that I add in prunes when I am making it, but apparently I don’t have. So, I put in raisins and honey.

The creative me suddenly came up with the idea of putting choc topping for this new pancake that I just made. I dont have chocolate but I have milo! A few spoons of milo and a few drops of water - choc paste. It was yummy…sweet! too sweet. How nice if I have strawberries.

to carrots : It was really nice! It was soft and definately the best mixture i’ve ever tried. the recipe’s ingredients were alot…as in, after i mix all of the stuff, it was so much, one whole big bowl. i stil have more than half a big bowl in the fridge. tomorrow and sunday’s breakfast will be pancakes! I was thinking to make some for my friends…so, those that get it tomorrow, it’s because I have all of you in mind! ahaha…ahaha…

I hate shopping when I am disappointed because I’ll end up buying really weird things just to cheer myself up! I bought spinach and bacons! Something I never buy because spinach - expensive. Bacon - I have no idea which is what and how to cook it. But God gave me an idea to cook - spinach & bacon spaghetti. It turned out very well, except that the bacon didn’t taste the way I thought it did. Maybe I should fry it longer for the oil to come out so it can coat the spaghetti better. The spinach was sweet and really fresh. This was my dinner! cool, isn’t it?
