How to make cinnamon butter mix
Melt butter in a small saucepan on low heat. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, or you can put the bowl in a hot water.
Add cinnamon powder and maple syrup, and mix it well. Set it a side.
Scrambled Egg
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat until hot. Pour the eggs.
Break and beat eggs with a pinch of salt in a bowl
As the egg begins to set, scramble it with a spoon.
Continue cooking until no liquid egg remains. Remove from heat.
How to make flatbread (Kita)
Mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
Add water and mix for few minutes until it combines. The batter should be thin, like pancake batter.
Heat a pan on the stovetop on medium-high heat and grease with a small amount of butter
Pour the batter into the pan and spread it with the back of a spoon. Let it cook for a couple of minutes until the edges of the KIta turn golden brown.
Flip it and continue cooking until brown on both sides.
Cool the flatbread (Kita) and cut it into small pieces. Set it aside in a bowl.
Pour over the cinnamon butter mix on the Kita and mix it well with a spoon until the Kita is evenly coated.
Add scrambled eggs or your other favorite topping on top and serve.
