After a dreamless night, Xia Zhaoyun once again directed He Qingran in making breakfast. Today's menu was potato pancakes, a smooth and savory steamed egg custard, fragrant rice porridge, and a new way to prepare pickled vegetables.
Since they were up early, Xia Zhaoyun also taught He Qingran how to make fluffy pancakes. The process was similar to making a cake, requiring the egg whites to be whipped by hand and then gently folded into the yolk batter before being pan-fried over low heat.
They made original, raisin, and red date flavors.
The fluffy pancakes had a delicate, soft, and springy texture, even more delicious than the sponge cakes from the supply and marketing co-op. A single bite while they were still steaming hot was pure bliss.
They ended up devouring more than half of the entire batch of pancakes.
He Qingran rubbed her sore arm, saying through gritted teeth, "Once my arm recovers, I'm making these again!"
The allure of such delicious food was hard to resist.
