Published by Rekha

Who doesn’t like pancakes, right? They are the easiest and quickest to make. And that’s what I like about them, it is such a simple recipe, yet utterly delicious to eat. I have a thing for simple recipes that do not require advance planning or many ingredients. In these unprecedented times, some of us are finding solace in cooking and baking.
