LoR 05 - From Honey Creeps to my fav. childhood snack

Left over Remake - 05
One single mix and 3 different snacks! Isn't that great ??

From this..(honey crepes)


to this....(banana fritters)


and finally..my favourite right from childhood...well...no specific name for it. It something that my mom used to make with leftover crepe batter.
 
 
 
I think as kids..we are very much happy when our parents does things which we really like..as if they were just reading our minds. And it feels even better when the parents interchange their roles.
 
While we were small...and as occasional treats during vacations…our mother used to take us to the “Ernakulam Children’s Park” and we appreciated it even more…coz, it was mummy who wake taking us..unlike our dad, who always takes the “driver” role. The visits were definitely widely spaces on the timescale..so that very much added to the excitement factor. The mini jeeps, scooters and the signal lights to stop your vehicles on the mini roads that you drive them….we thoroughly used to enjoy each visit and badly look forward for the next. 
 
 From the park…the next destination would be the nearby “Indian Coffee House” and the same order each time – vegetable cutlets…which, better would be said as “beetroot” cutlets. They were really pink inside.
Fast forward…..location shifts to the middle-east….and its the next generation park goers.
Might be coz of how deeply I cherish those good times..( remember I said..parents interchanging roles) that I do love to do the same with my boys…and wishing within..that they too would (might) cherish these times when they are grown up too. Do take them to the play area just across the road and its got all the restaurants and coffee shops just side by side. An occasional visit to the Little Ceasers Pizza shop…its mom’s n kids day out. Of couse, we would have a take away ordered for the Dad too…or some doughnuts for the boys (a coffee free for the mom ! from Dunkins). ;)
 
A lazy weekend morning..Saturday..atleast I don’t have to work 6 days a week, unlike the Dad.
back to our childhood favourite evening snacks and this was how my mom used to get it done. From this...to that..and again that !!!
 
For the honey butter crepes -
All Purpose Flour - 2 cups
Egg - 1
Honey - just enough to make it sweet as per your taste
Milk - as much to make the batter loose and of pouring consistency



Mix all these together well and make crepes.



Can add a dash of butter to it and fold or roll.




Simply quick breakfast/snack.

Version 2 : Payampori - banana fritters.
 

Add a tsp of turmeric powder to the batter.
Cut bananas into half length wise and then half across.
Dip each banana cut in the batter and deep fry in oil.
Strain excess oil on paper towel


Batter still remaining and no more bananas? worry not..
 
Version 3: Just scoop a spoon full of the batter straight into the oil and fry on either sides till slightly golden brown.





 make a lovely tasty snack by itself..

  4. Hi Sona, great posting. Those were the good old days and beautiful memories. I too love to flip thru my old albums every now and then to enjoyed the memories before I grow too old to dream. :))

    Love your snacks, all look so good and inviting. I love crepe too but enjoy it with ice cream for breakfast. I'm one of the crazy one who can eat ice cream for breakfast. You too made banana fritters, look very tempting, guess hard to stop eating if you put the plate in front of me. The left over batter I'm sure it taste good with chilli sauce.:))

    Have a wonderful weekend, regards.

  12. OMG, I love the crepes, it is just perfect - I probably would drizzle some honey over it in the form of stripes and binge on it.
    I have tasted Banana fritters during my college days, when a Hostel friend of mine from Kerala brought some,and I must say it was just divine. And the 3rd item, I have never heard, like you said no specific name- but it looks just right!!
    Aha, "Indian Coffee house" - I have great memories there too!!
