Project: Foolproof Oatmeal Crêpes

-
EN

There was something that I really missed in Hong Kong and that's proper baking. I don't have an oven, a handmixer or even a whisk to start with. I do have an microwave so I guess I could whooped up some microwaved cupcakes, but no! The other day I've made crêpes.

Crêpes are also known as really thin pancakes and are one of those food that are so easy to make, it's like a foolproof thing. Luckily in my HK apartment I have a frying pan, a fork, a cup and a bowl. Lets flip up some crêpes!

In Hong Kong miste ik echt ontzettend het bakken van lekkere cakes, taarten en noem maar op. Ik had namelijk geen oven, handmixer of zelfs geen garde. Wel heb ik een magnetron dus ik kon eigenlijk wel magnetron cupcakes mee maken, maar nee! Ik ging crêpes maken!

Crêpes oftewel dunne pannenkoeken zijn een van die lekkernijen die je makkelijk en feilloos kunt maken. Gelukkig beschikte ik over een koekenpan, een fork, een mok en een kom. Tijd voor pannenkoeken!

The Ingredients
100 ml milk
1 egg
2 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. oatmeal
Not 250 ml (1 cup), not 230 ml, not even 235 ml but 236 ml milk! Sorry but I just find the measurement precision funny. 
How to eyeball the measurement of 100ml milk without the measuring cup? Pour all the milk in a cup! Now you have a better view of the content.
I also don`t have measuring spoons in my HK apartment so I just really did 2 tablespoons of flour like this. And it worked out fine.
Done!

The Steps
1. Wisk the egg in a bowl.
2. To eyeball the measuring of the milk: pour the milk in a cup. Now you have a better look of the content. Now pour just the half of the milk into the egg and combine well.
3. Followed up by adding 2 (generous) tbsp. of flour to combine and at last the oatmeal. Combine well!
4. Add oil to a frying pan and let it heat up on medium fire. Add 3 tbsp. of the batter on the pan and spread it out evenly and beautifully.
Bake for about 2 min. on both side.
5. Serve up with your favorite toppings!

    Crepes are so yummy! I actually much prefer them to pancakes or waffles even, nice and light. And what a weird quantity of milk!

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post.

BIRDY & Griff concerts

The year of 2024 was the year of concert visiting: BIRDY and Griff. That brings my total to just three concert visits in my entire life. Yes, wow,  not that many, ha! I’ve been a big fan of Birdy ever since she released her cover singles Skinny Love and People Help the People , so I was thrilled to finally hear both songs live at the Caprera stage. She sounded absolutely amazing and crystal clear, just like on her studio recordings. By the way, Caprera is a gorgeous open-air venue. If one of your favorite artists ever performs there, I definitely recommend going! My second concert was in Belgium to see Griff live at De ROMA. De ROMA is a beautiful Art Deco cultural center and performance venue in Antwerp. I started to love Griff because she’s half Chinese and half Jamaican, she writes and performs her own songs, plays piano and guitar, and even makes her own clothes from thrifted pieces. Talk about multi-talented, right? She’s still so young, and I’m really rooting for a success...
