Hotcake (Filipino Pancake)

I remembered during my younger years, hotcake was my all time favorite street food. It was usually sold near schools and church. The authentic Filipino hotcake is cooked in a round waffle maker and is yellow in color due to the addition of food coloring. My version is cooked in a pan and without the food coloring but I think the taste is somehow close to the original. Try it and express your thoughts on the comment box below.
