home-made pancakes

Like any other pan cake (hot cake as being called by the locals here in our place), I use the simplest recipe and basic steps in making my pan cake. For years we have (me and my mom) experimented on how to improve the texture and the taste of a typical pan cake to a special one. Until finally we were able to obtain the exact proportions of all the ingredients that should a pan cake contains to make it softer and fluffier like a real cake. 

We only use ingredients available locally so we can sell them reasonably cheap and yet they tastes good.

empanaditas

Empanaditas are essentially fried or baked pastries stuffed with sweet or savory fillings. These pastries are known throughout Portugal, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Philippines.

This is one the famous snack (merienda as often called by locals) in our city. As you can see in the picture, the main ingredients are potatoes, carrots, raisins and ground beef. Aside from beef, you can choose other flavors like pork, chicken and tuna.

This is the finished product, empanaditas.Ready for storing or you can deep fry it right away and serve.
