Eggless Pancakes (Valentine's Day Special) and Biscuit Cake

Pancakes

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, milk (adjust to a smooth consistency), vanilla essence, baking powder, a small amount of melted butter, a drizzle of honey, and red food colouring to taste. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

2. 2

   Heat a non‑stick pan over medium heat, lightly butter the surface, and pour a thin layer of batter, spreading it evenly.

3. 3

   Cook until the edges become crisp and the surface shows bubbles, then flip the pancake.

4. 4

   Continue cooking until both sides are golden brown, then transfer to a plate.

Biscuit Cake

5. 5

   Finely grind the Parle G biscuits and Hide'n'seek biscuits together in a food processor or using a rolling pin.

6. 6

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground biscuits with milk and the unflavoured Eno, stirring quickly to form a batter.

7. 7

   Butter a heat‑proof mould, pour the batter in, cover, and steam over low flame for about 20 minutes.

8. 8

   Uncover during the last five minutes and test for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
