How to make pancakes

Image
They are really delicious and easy to make. You can enjoy them as snack with a glass of soft drink or serve with tea or pap. It could serve as a perfect breakfast or as dessert. I think the name ‘diet’ suits it better because it is actually a blend of protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and fat and oil. It is more balanced than most simple Nigerian snacks. Pancakes are served as snack with anyone of jam, honey, ketchup, butter or a blend of two in Europe and America, but here we enjoy it as it comes. I did however throw in a spoon of ketchup and it was super delicious. Pancake Image Ingredients: Serving: 4 2 cup of plain flour 3 medium eggs Half cup of evaporated milk 2 tablespoons of margarine ¼ teaspoon of salt Teaspoon ground red dried pepper 1 cup of water Vegetable oil 1 Spoon of thinly sliced onion (optional) 3 Tablespoons of sugar I would suggest that you get evaporated milk; they are those in tins. like peak milk, three crown, choice, etc. You will need just abo...

HOW TO MAKE AN AWESOME ZOBO/LEAVE DRINK 100% NATURAL!!!!!!!!

Image
 You have absolutely nothing to lose but so much to gain for taking a chilled glass of zobo Nigerian drinks. The health benefits are immeasurable, although this depends on the ingredient you used while preparing it. I would personally recommend just natural ingredients if you can find them; I use them when I can find them. Here we are going to do it just the way Mama Iyabo does it. You may want to read the comment below before you actually try this zobo recipe, few persons experienced soured taste when they used lots of pineapple, they agreed that pineapple flavor is better than actual pineapples when it comes to making zobo drink. And I agree. The plate above contains ginger, about 3 fingers of ginger would do. The ginger inset would be enough for 5 cups of zobo leaves then the joccy pinapple flavor by the side of the plate (use just one sachet and add it when the zobo is boiled and filtered). This would be enough to make 2-3 litres of zobo juice drink. By the end of th...
