Pancakes- Bookmarked at that!

Okay, I'm stealing Nupur's idea. Don't tell her, ok? I love her blog and have been following it even before I started food blogging. And she is an inspiration. Her A-Z series is a treasure and her regional recipes take the cake! Her recent endeavor to cook through her list of bookmarks has me hooked. So, I decided that I will steal the idea from her and cook and post it every Friday evening/weekend. I hope to finally cook the bookmarks. Since we very smartly formatted the computer without saving my bookmarks, thankfully, my bookmark list is more recent, and hopefully has less numbers. Yes, hopefully.

Also, I do think its important to post whatever you cook from someone else's blog. I haven't been posting what I cook from other blogs all these days and I'm ashamed of my selfishness :| So, going forward, I will be posting a lot of recipes from all your blogs :) Every weekend. Today, since this idea just struck me, I decided to go with SJ's pancakes, something I have pictures of since I planned to send them to her. As always, what enticed me was her picture of the pancake. Like I've mentioned before, I'm a sucker for breakfasts. Every weekend, I expect a large breakfast - Indian or International. I can eat breakfast all day and these pancakes (that she flicked from Alton Brown) fit the bill.

We made some orange compote to go with it and boy, were the pancakes good or what!

Ingredients

2 oranges, peeled and cut into small pieces
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cornstarch

1. Peel the oranges and chop into small pieces. Make sure to remove all the skin or fiber ( I forget the name of the process. Anyone?) Chop the peel into very fine pieces.

2. Add sugar and cornstarch to the oranges and cook until the juices flow out and it becomes a thick fruity mass. We made it in the microwave though. Unfortunately, I don't remember the time!

Serve warm with pancakes and top your pancakes with nuts and honey/maple syrup! I hate my pancakes doused in syrup unless its a chunky fruit sauce. So, this compote worked out brilliantly for me. A loves his pancakes drenched, so he made his bit of the compote thinner and watery.

We loved the pancakes and its a keeper of a recipe. And - my pictures aren't any good as hers. So, do check her pictures and get tempted! :)

We've cooked from almost all your blogs and I've probably even mentioned it to you sometimes. However, we want to go one step further like Nupur did and post the recipes from your blogs that have become our favourites! Also, if we miss out on acknowledging any of your recipes, please do let us know and we will immediately rectify that :) And a million thanks to Nupur for this brilliant idea.
