Hotcakes

Bit Bit went for lunch with Bit Bit's ex-colleagues - Yeti and Jaguar today, and Bit Bit wants to make something for them. After thinking over the different types of food, Bit Bit decided on something sweet - hotcakes.
The hotcakes took about 1.5 hours to finish making, including preparation of the ingredients.
Things that Bit Bit found out about hotcakes:

• The hotcake batter should be smooth, and if it has insufficient liquid, the hotcake made will feel stiff.
• Baking powder is needed so that the hotcakes can be raised.
• To let the hotcakes have a sweet smell, add some vanilla essence or vanilla extract.
• When cooking hotcakes, the pan must not be too hot, else the hotcake will get burnt very fast.
• Hotcakes can be eaten with almost any toppings, Bit Bit likes putting maple syrup, butter, honey, nutella, banana jam and many more.

Ingredients that Bit Bit used for Hotcakes:

1. All Purpose Flour - 150gms (About 1.5 Cups)
2. Baking Powder - 2 Tsp
3. Vanilla Essence - 2 Tsp
4. Egg - 1 Whole
5. Milk - 3/4 Cup (About 160ml)
6. Canola Oil - 1 Tbsp
7. Sugar - 2.5 Tbsp

Method that Bit Bit used to make Hotcakes:

1. Mix the egg, sugar and oil evenly.
2. Add in the milk and vanilla essence into the egg mixture and mix well.
3. Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg mixture and mix until batter is smooth.
4. Heat up a pan.
5. Turn heat to low and coat a thin layer on oil on the pan.
6. Pour one ladle of the batter into the pan.
7. When bubbles start forming, use a spatula and flip the hotcake over.
8. Cover the pan with a lid for about 3 minutes.
9. Remove lid to check whether hotcake is cooked. If hotcake is cooked, remove the hotcake.
10. Repeat steps 5 to 9 for a new hotcake.
11. Serve with favourite topping and eat!
