There is something about a stack of fluffy pancakes that can instantly make breakfast feel a little more special. Whether topped with fresh fruit, drizzled with chocolate sauce or paired with creamy yoghurt, pancakes can turn an ordinary morning meal into a fun family spread.
Lasith Malinga recently gave his family's breakfast a sweet twist by whipping up mini pancakes and serving them with an array of delicious toppings. The video, shared on Instagram, showed the former Sri Lankan cricketer flipping mini pancakes in a pan. Once ready, he transferred them onto a plate and began assembling the breakfast spread.
For the presentation, Malinga first arranged cut-up strawberries on the plates before placing stacks of mini pancakes on top. He then finished them with chocolate pieces, chocolate sauce and condensed milk, serving each plate with a side of yoghurt and granola.
