Well about the whole measuring thing... ...

"There isn't really much to measure now"

That's why this time everything will go by hand and for a worry-free, secured and easy way...!

I'll be using this!

"Hot cake mix!" 

I couldn't help but grin as I opened the familiar package.

―― Hot cake mix

It's like a magical flour.

Thanks to Science and by using the necessary equipments, making confections has been easy as they were able to perfectly mix, formulate and harmonize the necessary ingredients right at its very decimal.

And if you make it just like how it is written at the back of the package, anyone can make a delicious fluffy pancakes. 

Before there were only a few types available but now there are all sorts of pancake mix easily accessible for everyone.

There's the kind where you can opt to choose an overly sweet pancake mix or something with less sugar. There's also a hotcake mix with buttermilk powder for a more rich flavour and there's also a type where there's also one mixed with some oil content for those who aims for a something a lot more airy and fluffy texture. 

This time, the one I'll be using the one called in Japan as 'pancake' with less sugar than usual. Well a sweet one is indeed delicious but if it is too sweet then it is going to be hard to arrange the dish and by using something with less sugar it would be easier to garnish it. 

And so I grabbed a metal bowl and poured the hotcake mix. This time I'm planning on making around 8-10 pieces of pancake. Now all I have to do to make a delicious pancake is to measure the amount of milk to use, add some eggs and milk to make a pancake batter and then fry it but... ... .

"Today I'm planning on using apples"

That's right. Today I'm not just planning on making a simple pancake. 

I'm aiming for something easy but deliciously fancy dessert.

To wrap the whole surface of the batter, instead of using only ten pieces, I doubled the amount and by doing that, the apple will look like a beautiful blooming flower.

"And just like that, all I have to do now is to cover it with a lid and wait until it is ready"

To make sure that the insides are being cooked properly, I have to bake it in a covered pan while on low fire.

Generally, you just have to fry the first half of it and then flip it over and it will be all good but this time I arranged the slices of apples on top of the batter. That's why it will take a lot more time to fry the first half of the batter.

And since I placed a lot of batters, it will take some time for the batter to be properly cooked. So I have to be more patient with this.

But while waiting, I can start preparing the next step or thing that I might need or cleaning up the things I used or returning the things inside the refrigerator and by doing stuff like that. It is almost time. 

"Alright"

While nodding to myself, I remove the lid and a wave of steam comes. As the steam slowly disperse I can see a fluffy golden brown pancake and is twice as big compared to when the batter was still raw.

Thanks to the cover bake frying it in low fire, I can see that the batter is thoroughly cooked between the small spaces of the apples. So now, I have to fry the apples for a bit to give the soften apples a bit of a crisp texture.

Since I placed the apples while the batter was still raw, now that it has been cooked, it looks like it has caved in as if it has been buried in the pancake.

"Time to flip it over!"

"It looks so delicious... ...ack...it's hot!"

I heartily muttered.

And then while it is still hot, I immediately divided it into four parts while fighting with the heat.

Though it's a lot better to slice it once it has cool down but I want to eat a freshly cooked pancake.

And just as usual as if the kitchen is one step ahead of me, it prepared 3 plates for each of us.

Me and Ryleigh-kun will get 1/4 each while Hurst-san gets 2/4. It's around half of it.

For a snack, it is quite big. But I'm sure Hurst-san can finish it in a few bites. 

... ... But then I'll still ask, "Isn't it too much?"

I can't help but wonder, how Hurst-san will answer.

I'm sure with his poker face he'll say "There's no problem" as his light blue eyes sparkles.

I couldn't help but feel my face muscles loosening――Just thinking about Hurst-san's expression...

"No, no. Stop grinning! I still have to do some finishing touches"

That's right this isn't the time for me to grin like this.

What's more, this last step is a must-do especially when it is still piping hot.

And as if to shake off my idle thoughts away, I shook my head once and then grabbed the milk gelato, I left inside the freezer and then I used the huge spoon that the kitchen gave to scoop some and placed it on top of the pancake.

A piping hot pancake combined with silky smooth gelato as it slowly melts over it.

Now, with this its complete!!

―― An apple pancake topped with milk gelato!
