Taking two bowls, I separated the egg yolks from the whites.
” Aalto, whisk the egg whites until they’re like fluffy clouds.”
” Hmm.” He took the bowl from me.
I begun to work on the egg yolks. With the help of my whisker, I beat them up. Then I added 1 tablespoon milk, mixing it gently with the yolks. Next goes in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Ah! the smell of vanilla is so sweet.
” It’s Done.” I lifted my head to check on Aalto. To my surprise he whisked the egg whites without the hand blender. He used the normal whisk. That’s really hard to do in such short time.
” You’re suppose to use the machine. Anyway add 1 and half tablespoon of sugar in the mix and keep beating.” My eyes fell on his biceps. No wonder he can beat those eggs so easily without the hand blender.
How can I forget that he’s a freaking merman?
I started to sieve the soft flour in the egg yolks mix. Five teaspoon is enough. Then I added one teaspoon of baking powder so that it can make the pancakes fluffy. My mixing was done. Now I gotta add the egg whites.
” Aalto bring the egg whites.” He passes me the bowl. I fold in the two mixtures together without breaking the air bubbles. It should be done carefully and gently. Aalto was standing beside me, watching every steps.
” It looks so fluffy.” He sounded like a earnest child.
” Yeah right— oh dear! You got some egg whites sticking on your face.” When I lifted my head, Aalto’s face made me laugh. He somehow managed to get the egg whites on his face. Grabbing onto the kitchen cloth I wiped it off.
” I-I will d-do it.” He was avoiding eye contacts with me even though our faces were so close.
” There.” I let go of his face. It became little reddish ? Or maybe just my imagination.
I heat up the large non stick frying pan over the lowest heat. The temperature should be kept at 300 ºF or 150 ºC. Brush the cooking oil on the pan and lightly remove any visible oil. With a small ladle, I scoop the batter, placing it on the frying pan. Each pancake needs four scoops of batter. I stacked up the pancakes without pressing them too much. Now it’s time to let them cook. Before covering it with a lid, I added 1 Tablespoon water in the empty spaces inside the pan. Water keeps the pancake moist.
After 6-7 minutes later, using the offset spatula, I lift the pancake carefully. Since they firm up a little I can easily flip them . Using brute force will crack up the pancake. So it’s best to be extra gentle. The pancakes are ready. The tops are crisped and bottom is fluffy. I served them on the white plate with some butter and a nice drizzle of honey. Usually we serve it with fruit varieties but Mr. Han doesn’t prefer fruits.
” Go serve it to Mr. Han.”
” Alone?” Pulling his brows together in a frown Aalto asked timidly.
” Yes. There’s nothing to worry, you can do it, Aalto. Don’t be so shy.” I gave a pat on his shoulder and handed him the plate. As he left, I popped up my head to check on him. He served the plate in front of Mr. Han then retuned back to me.
” So? Was it hard?” I made a smug face to tease him a little.
” No. It felt good.” The sweet innocent smile reflected his true feelings, so did his ocean like blue eyes.
The rest of the day continued. Aalto did a great job while serving the customers. He even helped me with cooking too. I was happy to find a companion. Honestly, feels nice to have someone here. I guess I won’t be lonely anymore.
