Today my grand children didn´t have anything to eat at home because they have run out of gas. They came to me looking for something to eat, but the problem was that I didn´t have either. I decided to invent this mini pancakes cooked in a deviced called tosti arepa.

In Venezuela we are having many challengings with services. Electricity, gas, water, internet etc. We really have to be creative to do things. I am using the tosti arepa to cook these mini pancakes and they resulted delicious. We use it to make arepas, but today we are going to make what the children like most.

Ingredients for the mini pancakes:

• 2 1/2 cups of self raising flour
• 5 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 tablespoon of melted butter
• drops of ice cream esence
• caster sugar

Preparation:

• Place all the ingredients in a bowl
• add the milk
• mix well

• spray some oil in the tosti arepa
• add 3 tablespoon of the mixture in every hollow circle
• don't place the lid
• cook for one side and then turn to cook on the other side
• serve them with a topping of caster sugar, marmalade or butter and cheese

The children will love them. You can add raisings and cinnamon.
