Pancakes in the Desert

As time goes on, I find that I miss simple things from home. Little things like warm showers, more than 3 changes of clothes, and our dog Rocky. These are things that pop in my head at random times. I'll be walking through the market and all of a sudden miss my bed or swimming out in the ocean thinking of how good a nice green salad with spinach sounds. I was having one of these moments this morning as I woke up. I wanted pancakes and not just regular pancakes but chocolate chip pancakes. These seemed like a difficult task at first but here is the recipe I ended up using with my resources.

1 cup of harina (flour)
1/8  cup of azucar (sugar)
1 teaspoon of bicorbanate (baking soda)
1/4 or less of avena (oats) slightly wrong translation
1 huevo (egg)
2 tablespoons of vegie oil
1 cup of leche (milk that can be bought by the cup down the road, but bring your own cup)
1 Sublime chocolate (found at the tiendas in Lobitos, the chocolate also contains peanuts so peanut butter is not needed)
1 Banana(sold for only 6 bananas for 1 sole)
A little oro de somethings (butter)

I didn't mix the ingredients in any real order but I think your supposed to mix the dry things first then the wet but I did add the banana and chocolate last. After the mixture is ready you pour it on a hot pan with butter and fry one side then the other. Served with some miel, makes an excellent breakfast for the hungry surfer. I do not hold responsibility if a horrible batch of pancakes are produced by this recipe.

Nic and I really enjoyed this treat this morning and hopefully it will lead to more attempts.

  1. Sounds good. You must not have gotten my message that said to mash the banana with the wet ingredients? :)
