Note:
This is a very American recipe. They are consumed all over the world and have different names, for example, pancakes, tortitas, and in Cuba, arepas. They are mainly prepared for breakfast. Although Cubans also make them for snacks.
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of wheat flour
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder (Royal) or baking soda
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions:
Mix the dry ingredients. Then add the milk and whisk it well so there are no lumps.
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and let it cover the entire surface. Then pour a small amount of the arepa mixture. Use medium heat to make these little cakes. You should flip it when you see that your pancake is filled with little bubbles. Repeat this process until the batter is finished, and add the second tablespoon of oil when you see that the pan is very dry.
In Cuba, we usually eat them with honey, jams, or even with sugar and pieces of fruit. In Spain, they serve them with chocolate cream, bananas, and whipped cream. And so, around the world, different things are added. They can also be made with savory fillings.
