Chocolate Pancake

Rainy, chilly evening,

comfort food craving.

Not takeaway,

I like to make something at home

with what’s already in the pantry,

so, I decided on chocolate pancakes

after seeing a little inspiration

on my Facebook feed.

I whisked pancake powder

with generous milk,

rubbed the skillet with butter,

poured the batter in circle,

cooked until done.

Drenched with maple syrup

and added slices of banana

and strawberry for garnish.

Everybody enjoyed

the warm, spongy treat,

it was such a hit.

Almost a dessert,

not the healthiest snack,

but for a gloomy afternoon,

once in a while,

it sure was fun.
