Got up very late one Saturday morning with an empty stomach, I found almost nothing I could eat in the fridge, no yoghurt, no fruits, not even juice. Checked out the cupboard, only flour and black sesame seeds left, luckily, one egg left also in the fridge. I remember I read in some cook book that black sesame is very healthy and can be one of the ingredients for pancake, which takes only a few minutes to cook, then I will have a quick breakfast to fill my empty stomach.
I was so happy with that breakfast, just need to top what ever you like to make the pancake less dry, butter, jam, honey.... or simply just have a glass of milk like I did.
Here is the recipe to make 30 of the mini pancakes (yes, I also made for my flat mates :P ):
1 1/2 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
small pinch of fine salt (or sugar) as you wish
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, whisk till the batter is very smooth then allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes. Stir again.
Heat a small splash of oil in a large skillet over medium heat, just enough to coat the pan. Add spoonfuls of batter to the pan, one at a time, be careful not to over crowd as the batter will spread around. Cook around 1-2 minutes each side or till the edges are golden. For me, I could make 4-5 pancakes at one time. Then transfer to paper tower to get rid of the oil if you wish, or straight to your plate. The pancakes taste much better when they are hot so you should eat them immediately.
