Raagi pancake

Before I discovered this nutritious pancake, I occasionally made pancake with the store bought ready to use pancake mix. Sometime, midway through this year, I made a decision to improve my family's eating habits and was trying different recipes with healthier ingredients. This recipe is a great creation, as we love it for our breakfasts and my son also eats it during his snack time. I looked online through a couple of recipes and tried a few before settling on this recipe. It's a basic pancake recipe with healthier flours and sugar

Ingredients:

1. Ragi flour - 1/2 cup
2. Oats flour (wheat flour/multi-grain flour) - 1/2 cup
3. Egg - 1 no
4. Coco sugar or powdered jaggery - 2 - 3 tbsp (can add more if you want it sweeter)
5. A pinch of baking soda and salt
6. Vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp
7. Water - use as needed to make a batter
8. Ghee or oil - as needed for frying the pancake

Method:

1. In a bowl, break the egg, add the sugar, vanilla essence, salt, and baking soda. Whisk the ingredients well. 
2. Add the flour in slowly while whisking and add water as needed to make a pouring consistency batter, so it is a good idea to start with little water and then keep adding as required.
3. Heat a pan, add 1/2 tsp ghee/butter/oil, and then take 1/4 cup batter and pour it into the pan.
4. Once you see bubbles appear all over on the top, flip it and let it cook on the other side for three minutes. Once done, remove the pancakes from the pan and use the batter to make remaining pancakes. 
5. The pancakes are ready to be served. They taste great on their own but you can also serve it with honey.

Notes:

1. You can store the batter in the refrigerator for up to two days, in case you wish to make it over a couple of breakfast meals or snack time. 
2. You can also use only oats flour to make the pancake. But the ragi flour adds a nice grainy texture when you bite into it, plus it's healthy.
3. In case you wish to make blueberry pancake, you add the ghee to the pan, add a few berries in the ghee, let it fry for a minute, then ladle the pancake batter over it and cook as mentioned above.
