Nanay's Special Pancake Recipe


My nanay (mother) is a pure and proud Quezonian, born and raised in Gumaca, Quezon. She is a typical mother who knows how to cook and make Quezon's local dishes and delicacies and pancakes (also known as hotcake) is just one of them. I can still remember myself drooling while waiting for the pancakes to cook.

Actually there is nothing special in her pancake recipe, it's just the memory of tender love and care that makes it special. Every time i eat pancakes, i find myself traveling back to the time exactly where i had the happiest moment of my childhood in Quezon province. I see myself playing with my playmates and classmates in grade one. We play in the middle of rice fields with all the carabaos around. Taguan, Taya-tayaan, Luksong Tinik, Luksong Baka, Tumbling and other games that no longer exist nowadays. After playing, my mom will call us to have a break and we will eat pancakes (hotcake) partnered with orange juice specifically "Richie" a popular concentrated bottled juice that time. Right after the break, we will play again until sunset.

These kind of memories make my "Nanay's Pancake Recipe" so SPECIAL...

LITTLE TRIVIA:

A pancake is a flat cake, often thin, and round, prepared from a starch-based batter and cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan. In Britain, pancakes are often unleavened, and resemble a crêpe. In America, a raising agent is used (typically baking powder). The American pancake is similar to a Scotch pancake or drop scone.

They may be served at any time with a variety of toppings or fillings including jam, fruit, syrup, chocolate chips, or meat. In America, they are typically considered to be a breakfast food.
