• 2 medium bowls
• 2 small bowls
• 1 medium plate

Cook Time

Step 1: Make the Pancakes

1. In a bowl, beat eggs until fluffy.
2. Add in water, cooking oil and vanilla extract. Mix.
3. Dilute sugar and salt into the liquid mixture. Continue mixing until ingredients are dissolved. Set aside.
4. In the same bowl, sift and combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Whisk thoroughly and set aside.
5. Heat and grease pan with 1 tablespoon of butter or cooking oil.
6. Scoop pancake mixture using 1/3 measuring cup. Pour mixture at the middle of the pan and just allow it to spread out.
7. Cook the bottom side of the pancake until bubbles start to come out. Once done, flip it over. Cook the other side until golden brown in color.

Step 2: Make the Egg Salad

1. Cook the eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain the hot water and transfer the cooked eggs to a cold water bath. Peel the eggs and then separate the whites from the yolks. Chop the egg whites and mash the egg yolks. Set aside.
2. Mince the white onions and sweet pickles.
3. Combine all ingredients and add the seasonings.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches

1. On a plate, place one pancake.
2. Evenly spread the egg salad on the pancake.
3. Top with a second pancake.
4. Serve with your favorite drink.

Tips and Techniques

For the pancakes:

• To make the pancakes a bit creamier, replace water with milk.
• For a nuttier flavor, use butter rather than cooking oil.
• Separate the egg yolks from egg whites. Beat the whites first to make it fluffy before adding in the yolks and other ingredients.
• For best results, cook the pancakes over low heat.
• Wait for the bubbles to come out before flipping the pancakes.

For the egg salad:

• Add a little bit of sugar for extra sweetness.
• Grate the eggs to lessen the chunkiness of the spread.
• Adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Add other seasonings or flavorings per your taste.

Sp Greaney,

I like scrambled eggs too. Though for sandwiches, I prefer making egg spread because of its creaminess. I hope you try this recipe!
