Oatmeal Pancake 燕麦煎饼

Oatmeal pancake was my childhood tea break snack. It involved very simple yet nutritious ingredients like, oatmeal, egg, milk and a little sugar. The pancake has a moist interior whereby you can find grains of oatmeal soaked with milk :)

Ingredients 

Using 55g egg

1 tbsp plain flour 

45 g quick cook oatmeal 

110~120g fresh milk 

1 tbsp golden syrup/honey

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

1 beaten egg

2 tsp milk powder (optional)

Directions 

1. Add plain flour, oatmeal and milk powder (optional) into a small mixing bowl.

2. Pour fresh milk into the bowl, mix briefly and let the mixture stands for about 5 minutes to absorb the milk.

Do not over-stir the mixture.

3. Mix in golden syrup, vanilla extract and beaten egg.

4. Pan-fry the batter* in a preheated oiled pot or pan at medium heat. Cover the pot while cooking. Lower the temperature after about 1 minute, and simmer till the surface is dry.

* you can cook the pancake into two batches for a thinner pancake.

5. When the surface of the pancake becomes dry, flip the pancake over to fry the other face.

6. The pancake is ready :)

Thicker pancake - this is firmer.

Drizzle condensed milk over for a sweet version :)

Thinner pancake - this is more moist and softer. So, it's best to have it in thin slice ><

For a variation, you may want to add about 1 tbsp of dried fruit, like raspberries, for added flavour 🍓🍇🍑
