PANCAKES AND MAPLE SYRUP

Há dez anos o mundo assistia aterrorizado o maior atentado terrorista de todos os tempos. Pasmados vimos as torres gêmeas novaiorquinas implodirem numa nuvem de poeira, desgraça e indignação. Neste trágico aniversário, uso meu espaço para homenagear aqueles que perderam suas vidas, inclusive brasileiros, postando uma das mais tradicionais receitas da cidade que nunca dorme, a capital do planeta.

PANCAKES AND MAPLE SYRUP

Ingredients (serves 4):

280g self-raising flour

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

3 eggs

1/2 l milk

4 tablespoons meited butter

4 tablespoons oil
