BUTTERSCOTCH PANCAKES

It has been quite a while since I've done some grocery shopping... I have decided to use all supplies I have inside our cupboard. This afternoon I wanted to make a sticky and sweet surprise to my son; he's favorite comfort dish: PANCAKES!
Checking my pantry, I realized I had all ingredients necessary to make a especial one - BUTTERSCOTCH PANCAKES - To turn the pancakes in the frypan was a bit tricky as this batter was softer than usual ones, but I got them right, breaking just one (that didn't go to waste as I eat it!)
It was sooo yummy... Reminded me a dessert I always eat when I go out with the girls... STICKY DATE PUDIM... Pity I didn't have a dollop of cream/or ice cream to eat with it. They all loved and asked to put some away for after dinner.
BUTTERSCOTCH PANCAKES


Sauce:
60 gr margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup thickened cream (I used coconut milk)
Pancakes:
1 cup self raising flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
11/4 cups milk
1 egg
15 gr butter, melted (I used 1 tbs vegetable oil)

Sauce: Melt margarine in a pan until golden, add sugar and cook for around 2 minutes, add cream and continue stirring until sauce thickens. Set aside.
Pancake: Sift flour and baking powder, add sugar and mix. In other bowl, whisk egg, milk and oil. Mix wet ingredients with dry one and whisk until smooth. Let stand for 15 minutes. Spray oil in a frypan and cook 1/3 cup of batter at times until golden both sides, turning once. Drizzle sauce over cooked pancakes and serve.




These photos were taken from my front garden... It looks so peaceful... My husband and daughter discovered this flower in our garden today... It was a lovely surprise!
I planted a foliage plant last year without knowing that it gives this beautiful flower... Must be spring approaching... I should spend more time in the garden as it calms the soul...
