Muskmelon pancakes

This is dedicated to my 1.5 years old son Bhavin. Because of his picky eating habit I originated this recipe to fill his tummy and tantalise his lil taste buds. Now this is a super hit Sunday breakfast at home.

 Ingredients: 

1/2 cup cooking butter 

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup sugar 

1 cup maida / all purpose flour 

1/2 cup cool milk ( room temp) 

1 cup musk melon purée ( just blend melon pieces)  

Few chopped small pieces of muskmelon 

Cooking oil

Combine flour, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl 

 

 Melt butter

 

Stir together milk, melted butter and musk melon purée in a separate bowl

 

 Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mix

 

 Fold and mix well to form thick batter

 

You can add water at this stage if required. The batter should be of a thick consistency not runny. Add water Nd mix the batter well for 5 mins to get soft fluffy pancakes.

 

 Heat a griddle and smear cooking oil onto it

 

Pour in a ladle full of batter. Don't spread the batter.

The batter will start to for tiny air pockets like this. Drizzle some cooking oil on the sides and top

Arrange cut fruit pieces on the batter

Once the cake cooks on one side by making the batter dry, it's time to flip and cook for about a minute.

Plate them and brush with honey (optional) when hot. This sweet dish can be served as a breakfast, dessert with ice cream or as a snack any time of the day and get you choosy lil ones to eat something delicious healthy and nutritive too.
