SEC S4-W2 | My favorite breakfast | by @ngoenyi

Breakfast is something everyone enjoys according to your choice. We have the liberty to choose from different options available from the endless lists of foods that can be enjoyed in the morning.

Some are our favorite. We can eat it every day if we have them at our disposal. We can't get tired of it a bit. I, for my part have my favorites. Not just one and I can take them every day if available.

Well, what is even breakfast? It is that food we eat as the first in a day. The first meal we eat is called breakfast especially if it is eaten in the morning hours. It is true that some persons skip morning food and eat at other times. It all depends on the individual and the circumstances they find themselves.

The economic situation of a family can make it difficult for them to have ideal breakfast but whatever the case, let me talk about mine.

What is your favorite breakfast?

I love eating Tom brown (mixed cereals) with milk and akara (beans cake) as breakfast. I also enjoy taking tea with pancakes as breakfast. But today, I want to talk about my favorite and it is pancakes and tea.

It is my favorite because it doesn't take time to prepare and the ingredients are readily available. Additionally, everyone in the family enjoys it and even assist in it's preparation.

It is also nutritious and healthy due to the ingredients I use for it as you will see in the next question. The taste is so delicious that it is irresistible. It is simply fantastic👌! You too will love it if you try it out.

What ingredients does it include?

The ingredients for pancakes and tea are not far fetched. Everyone has their own recipe. I developed mine and tried out different recipes until I arrived at this.

	this is a tray that contains all the ingredients I used in preparing my favorite pancakes and tea. I took the picture myself

Quantities	Items
3	cups of all purpose flour
3	eggs
3	fingers of banana
1	packed of Hollandia EVAP milk
1/2	cup of sugar or as desired
1	table spoon of melted butter
A pinch	Vanilla flavor
a pinch	salt

I combined all these to make my favorite pancakes.

As for the tea, I used 3 in one breakfast coffee, loya milk sachet and hot water.

What time do you have breakfast? And who prepares it?

Breakfast is usually any time between 8am to 11:59 am. As for me, I prepare my breakfast between 8 and 9 am before the kids start clamouring for breakfast. Sometimes it comes earlier depending on what we are having for breakfast.

I usually prepare pancakes myself. I do not delegate this aspect to any other person. However, I am usually assisted by everyone in the family because they love it so much and as such they want to be there to see it prepared. My son will be there to count how many the pancakes will go round everyone, lols.

Since I prepare my breakfast especially this pancakes, I have the preparation procedures at my finger tips and I will not hasitate to share it right away

Step 1: I peel and mash the bananas

Step 2: Then I crack the eggs, whisk and add to the mashed bananas. I also add the liquid milk there and that forms the liquid that I will use for the pancakes though I still add ordinary water while mixing it depending on the thickness.

	this is the mixture of the banana, egg and milk

Step 3: I measured out and sieved the flour into a dry bowel and added all the dry ingredients including the sugar, salt, the flavor.

	this is the flour and the dry ingredients

Step 4: I then mixed the mixture of banana, milk and egg into the flour mixture and turn very well to combine. I also added more water until I get the desired thickness like what you can see in the picture below

	this is the mixture of all the ingredients and it is ready to be fried

Step 5: frying stage. I just scooped the desired quantities and fried in batches until all is ready.

The pancakes are finally ready. I was able to get 17 pieces of it and it went round everyone in the family. I then served with tea. Here is my own portion

	my food

What are the typical breakfasts in your country?

In my country Nigeria, any food can serve as breakfast. For instance, if any food is prepared for dinner and there are leftovers, they can serve as breakfast. We don't attach special attention to what should serve as breakfast or what shouldn't, at least the large populace.

It can be rice, yam, beans, even swallow and the rest. A lot of factors play out in most cases as to why anyone can choose to eat anything for breakfast.

One who is going to work that requires energy can not possibly take tea as breakfast. The person can take swallow and that will serve him for the rest of the day until he is back.

Those Who do not have the means to eat 3 square meals daily always manage their lives around what is available and these ones can also decide to go for something that will hold their stomach for a longer time pending when another food will be available.

Others eat ideal meals for breakfast especially if they are well to do or are average family in terms of earnings.

So for my country, any meal can serve as breakfast.

Show us your best selfies in the kitchen, and finally at breakfast.
