Lemon Glaze Pancakes


Do you know those weeks where you barely find the time to scratch your back, so to speak, when you spend an absurd amount of time at work, busy like a little ant and you still bring work home at the end of the day? Do you know those days when you feel so tired that you'd go to bed straight away as soon as you step your doorstep, but feel hungry, and you are too exhausted to cook an healthy and complete meal and a bit sugar needy at the same time? Well this has been my life lately and this has been this kind of day, so I'm definitely going to indulge in a stack of tasty, lemony scented and flavoured pancakes with steaming hot cup of white tea for dinner and believe me I won't feel any regret at all!

Ingredients:
  • 2 tea cups flour
  • 1 tea cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • a pinch of salt
  • a cup of milk
  • a tea spoon of Baking powder

Lemon Glaze:
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)
  • powder sugar

In a bowl, stir with a fork the powder sugar with the zest and juice of a lemon and pour over the pancakes.


Sabem aquelas semanas onde mal encontram tempo para coçar as costas, por assim dizer, quando  passar uma quantidade absurda de tempo no trabalho, ocupados como uma formiguinha e ainda levam trabalho para casa no final do dia? Sabem aqueles dias em  se sentem tão cansados que iriam para a cama imediatamente assim que pisam a porta adentro, mas sentem fome e  estão demasiadamente exaustos para cozinhar uma refeição saudável e completa e simultaneamente estão necessitados de um pouco de açúcar ? Bem, esta tem sido a minha vida ultimamente e hoje foi este tipo de dia, por isso, vou definitivamente deliciar-me com uma pilha de panquecas perfumadas e com sabor a limão, com uma chávena fumegante de  chá  branco para o jantar e acreditem, não vou  arrepender-me nada!

Ingredientes:

  • 2 chávenas de chá de farinha
  • 1 chávena de chá de açúcar
  • 1 ovo
  • uma pitada de sal
  • um copo de leite
Glacé de limão:
  • 1 limão (raspa e sumo)
  • açúcar em pó
Numa taça mexa com um garfo o açúcar em pó, juntamente com a raspa e o sumo de limão e verta por cima das panquecas.

  7. Não sou fã de panquecas. Por vezes tenho desses dias, mas o que me dá vontade de comer é mesmo umas belas torradas e um chá preto a fumegar com leite ;)

  10. So...do you put the zest IN the pancake batter, and then make a glaze of lemon juice and powdered sugar? That's what it looks like, but I want to be sure.

    I am obsessed with both lemons AND yellow roses, so you've made me very happy!
