Now that our little one started with her formal schooling, we are having the change in our day to day life. Gone those days when we could think about an extra hour of sleep or can skip a morning meal; well I know it is not at all wise to skip a meal but sometimes 😉 an extra hour of sleep is probably more precious.
However, coming to the current scenario, we three plus the full-time house help started following an early day routine as we have to get Pasta ready for her school and finally she has started eating her food by her own that is also taking extra time. Coming to the food, Pasta nowadays help me while I make something for her (and us too); it is a fun game for her. She loves to mix the cake batter and pancake batter for that matter. In fact, she loves her portion of fluffy Pancakes with fruit chunks and a topping of dulce de leche.
It is not that making Pancakes is something tedious; in fact, pancake probably is one of the easiest things to make. I several times make Pancakes for Pasta's tiffin box. They are not having a lunch break in school but a shorter tiffin break and Pancakes are I found ideal for her box along with the fruits. In addition, I add an egg or two to the Pancake and opted for whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose (or sometimes a combination of both) flour and hence the box is turned into an ideal combination of protein, fat, and carbohydrate for my little one. Here goes the recipe of a very basic Pancakes, a favorite of my little one that I serve with fresh fruits and a topping of Dulce de leche ( you may found the recipe of dulce de leche here).
