Easy Pancake, and assorted Bread variations !!!

My mom used to make this easy pancake, to feed our hungry stomach's after school...mixing Maida (flour), one egg, sugar amd milk to form a loose batter, and make them as dosa's on a flat tava. Sorry, no snaps of it..but there's something very similar done by Jeena here..
.
This still remains a fav. of mine to date, so had it made for an evening snack. As usual the story, the batter bowl still remaind unfinished, so the next day..its variations begin to take form.
.
Type I : Bread Toast :
Cover the bread in the batter, and off to a non-stick pan to toast, lightly spraying the pan with cooking oil. Cut as triangles.
.


.


Type II : Bread Sticks :
Added seasame to the pancake mix, coated it over...and thats where my slim slim vermicilli came to action!
.
Broke it down as tiny pieces and cover the bread with it. Off to shallow fry, with crushed sugar on top.


Type III : Bread Kunaffa :
Cut the bread as squares, to the panckae mix, added some instant coffee (didnt have cocoa powder, or anything related to chocolate at that time, but wanted to give it a choco-touch..so settled in for coffee, something similar atleast...)
.





...that's it....my Bread Kunaffa !!!...trust me, you see all those delicious looking sweets in the market...go wondering how in the world are they done....but, a little bit of observation, interest and creativity...you can come up with something entirely new by urselves, even with the simplest of ingredients..with the least effort too !!!!
.
Hope you all liked my extra simple snack...great way to fool your kids n hubby !!, and guests too!!!
