PANCAKE INGREDIENTS – A breakfast staple on many tables is pancake – it is an all-time favorite breakfast food and this is how you can make this healthy.
The pancake we know is basically made of a simple batter of eggs, flour, milk, and baking powder. One can use different types of flour and may add some other things like fruit if you’re up for some experimenting and for some added sweet flavor.
