蘋果薄煎餅 Apple Pancakes

我諗大家都有食過pancakes，特別係M記早餐嘅pancakes，嗰度啲pancakes都唔錯㗎，不過唔知你哋有冇自己整過呢？以前細個同阿媽去supermarket嗰陣一見到pancakes預拌粉就話要買，當然係冇買過-_-，繼續食M記pancakes。後來大個再見翻嗰隻pancakes預拌粉就‘激發’起我自己整pancakes，一開始整出黎嘅都係唔好食，而且塊pancakes一係白色一係啲顏色一唔均勻。

後來失敗過好多次之後，我終於掌握到點樣整pancakes，之後仲嘗試加入其他材料，例如蘋果pancakes。唔好以為pancakes好似好簡單咁，要整到好食又好睇嘅pancakes都唔易，不過我相信只要做多幾次，大家都可以整到完美嘅pancakes㗎！

I believe that most people have tried pancakes, but have you tried making them yourself? I remember when I was a kid, I would beg my mum to buy those pancake mix. Well obviously she didn't buy them. When I grew up and saw those pancake mix again, there was an urge of making pancakes in me. At first, my pancakes either came out tasteless, or with no colour or with patches of colour. It was not successful.

After numbers of trying, I've finally figured out how to make a good pancakes. I even tried adding different ingredients and make the pancakes more special. Making pancakes seems to be quite easy but the truth is is not. It not easy to make pancakes that are both delicious and beautiful. But I believe that if you practise more, the results will be great and you can enjoy your own perfect pancakes as well.
