Hello, friends good evening. today's post is about coffee the 
When I was a child we grew up in between different cultures in India. We had one neighbor who belongs to the Udupi community from south India and they are very famous because of the restaurant business. Even I think they have established their business in western countries also. They had one daughter who was my age we were most of the time together. when I went to their house they always served nice snacks with very tasty south Indian coffee mixed with milk and sugar. but for that, we had to work. my friend's mother gave us glasses with coffee powder, sugar and water and we had to whisk that mixture using a spoon until it became foamy. then she poured hot milk into the glass, making this very special coffee. For many years I had forgotten about that because here we drink just black coffee no sugar or milk.
When I saw the announcement from
I used that technique but used a hand mixer instead of a spoon and made coffee cream which i then used for both pancakes and coffee to drink.

1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp instant coffee
1 pinch of salt
1 banana
1/2 cup cherries from the garden preserved in sugar syrup
1/2 tbsp chopped almonds
Grind oatmeal into powder then add rice flour, salt and water and blend everything.
pour into a bowl along with 1 tsp instant coffee and sufficient water to make pancake batter with the consistency to coat the back of a spoon. Kept aside.
Making coffee cream:
4 tbsp of sugar
2 tbsp of instant coffee
3 tbsp of hot water.
Dissolved sugar coffee and water using a spoon.
After using a hand mixer, whisk the coffee-sugar mixture until it became stiff foam. kept aside.
Added 1/2 tsp baking powder in the pancake batter and stirred it continuously for 2-3 minutes using a wire whisk.
Made pancakes with a nice bubbly effect.
The pancakes are ready to stack.
Here I also used coffee cream, slices of banana, cherries, slivered almonds and pinch of cocoa powder in the stack.
