Christmas Tree Pancake

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar powder
• 2 tbsp milk powder
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp almond powder (optional)
• 1/2 cup room temperature milk
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/4 tsp vanilla essence
• 4 drop red gel food colour
• 1 tsp oil
• 1/3 cup whipping cream
• Whipping cream as per required
• Colourful sugar star as per required
• Sugar powder as per required

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour or maida, powdered sugar, milk powder, baking powder, and optional almond powder. Gradually mix in the milk a little at a time, combining very well.
2. Combine the honey, vanilla essence, and red gel food colour with the batter, mixing thoroughly. Put this mixture into a piping bag without a nozzle.
3. Warm a nonstick tawa, grease with oil, and wipe the oil off with tissue paper.
4. Pipe a few large pancakes onto the tawa. Put a lid over them and cook on both sides. Use the same process to make a few small pancakes and then a very small pancake.
5. Using an electric beater, beat the whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks, then pour it into a piping bag fitted with a nozzle of your choice.
6. Arrange the pancakes on a serving plate. Pipe the whipping cream in a flower shape onto the largest pancake, then place a smaller pancake on it. Put whipping cream on top of the very small pancake and place that pancake on the second pancake. Finish the tree with whipping cream on top and decorate with colorful sugar stars.
7. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the pancake tree to garnish, then serve.
