Description
Rainbow pancakes . My Daughter ANISHA fathima has a new liking towards red velvet cakes. I was surfing the net for an easy good recipe for red velvet cake. Came across a recipe of red velvet pancakes. Was really surprised and loved the idea as any one can make pan cakes even beginners took note of the recipe immediately. My parents had gone on a holiday to Mauritius last month. All i asked them to get me was a good Mauritian cook book and all the possible food colours as i have been wanting to make a rainbow cake for a long time. But as rainbow cakes are time consuming i gave a try with rainbow pancakes.Wolla it was so appealing to the eyes as well as to the tummy. So once again my experiment did work out and i created a new dish.
