Quick and Easy pancakes

Mummy found this recipe online and she tried to make it today for her own breakfast. Boy that was really a breeze! Really fast and easy! Delicious too! Very light, soft and fluffy...See how fluffy it is?? The best part is that she dosent need to whisk the egg white(hard job) to get this result!

Ingredients:
1 ½ cup flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 ¼ -1 ½ cups milk
2 eggs

Directions:
Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and milk to the bowl and combine. The batter does not need to be perfectly smooth.
Preheat a skillet or griddle to medium heat. I use 350 on my griddle. Grease the grill and use a ladle or scoop to pour evenly sized pancakes.

Gymboree Trial Lesson

Today mummy brought me to gymboree's play gym free trial class at moto azabu... it looks fun and there are alot of other babies around my age.. but i was shy and very cautious about everything there... i even cried at first when the teacher try to involve me in their activities! how shy~ hehe. after about 15mins i slowly opened up and tried to join the other babies in the class for activities.. its fun! i disturbed other babies as well by pulling their name tags n all hehe. but then... mummy says most probably she is not gonna register me for the class because she feels its mainly going there to PLAY and make new frens... not worth the $ she says.. she hopes i can learn something instead of just playing and socialising.. ohwell!

the lesson is basically from 1.45pm to about 2.45pm.. we are given free playtime on n off n then the teacher will call us to gather for some group activities. basically singing songs, playing with the gymboree soft toy, dancing... then pushing some balls around n all... its my first time there and still a bit blur about what's going on so i was pratically just watching the other babies playing. mummy was hoping that they have more 'educational' activities eg flashcards n all... she hope i can play and LEARN but then there, she feels the lesson is more to having fun and making friends which she dun really feel its necessary. she say she can simply bring me to the park's playground and she feels it makes no difference. somemore its free! haha. and.. the schol at gymboree is a bit far...but anyway she wanna have a look at the shichida school before deciding...

Rocco n My Giraffe

My Giraffe is so soft that Rocco is also in love with it! Look at him sleeping with his face under my giraffe? hehe


Potluck Lunch

Today mummy went to a fren's house at Shibuya for a potluck lunch and she made me some pancakes for breakfast and my lunch. She brought only 1 pc out and i almost cleared all of them during breakfast! So i didnt have much left for my lunch... Poor me.. Stupid mummy should have brought more out for me! This time, she uses the same recipe as before except that she changed a bit of the directions stated here: http://jumpy-ourpreciousprincess.blogspot.com/search/label/Pancakes

For these pancakes below, she actually usses only 1.5 whole egg instead of the 3 egg yolks stated in the above link and she seperate the white and yolk. She mix the beaten egg yolk into the mixture and then whipped up the egg white till soft perks form then fold it into the mixture. This makes the pancakes thicker and softer! Yummy! I love these so much! Actually she made 5 pcs but then daddy took one... he said its yummy as well!


As for the potluck lunch, mummy made some brownies for desert since she is a lousy cook hee. She got her recipe from this site: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quick-and-Easy-Brownies/Detail.aspx


Ingredients
2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (mummy uses only 1 cup to make it more fudgy. too much flour will make the browny more cake like so if u prefer a more cake like brownie, u can use 1 1/2 cup of flour as per original recipe)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup walnut halves (optional-mummy didnt add these)

Directions
Melt the butter or margarine and mix all ingredients in the order given.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes in a 9 x 13 inch(mummy uses a 9X9inch pan) greased pan.
** increased the baking time if you are using a smaller pan as the mixture will be thicker n takes longer time to be baked.

Fresh from the oven!


Mummy gave daddy some and he says its YUMMY! its so rare for daddy to praise mummy's food haha. he is always criticising her food saying that they are not meant for human haha.


All packed and ready to GO!

Mummy's frens said its yummy too and even asked mummy for the recipe! Happy mummy! hehe.
