Its finally....PANCAKE DAY

This is my favourite day of the year (excluding Easter Sunday).

I woke up this morning, slightly later than anticipated, and got the mixing bowl out. Today's breakfast was French pancakes. What a way to start the day....they sure kick the ass off weetabix!

Tonight, I'll be making American pancakes, with fruit. I'm sure they'll be the perfect dessert to follow my spicy sausage penne.

Better run really, dinner won't cook itself.

Oh Dear...

Morning,
I have a confession, not only did i wake up wanting a glass of pepsi. I know, i'm disgusting! I also made pancakes AGAIN.
I've had the idea of pancakes in my head since Saturday; and i have already made them twice!! They're too tasty.


I had 2 for my dinner last night, and 2 more for my breakfast this morning!!


Think i may have to postpone lunch for a few hours, or just erase it completely.

Anywho, after this morning's revelations i have decided to give up fizzy drinks for lent

Pancakes beat Valentines, anyday

Shrove Tuesday is nearly upon us. This is one of my favourite days of the year. You could be extremely lazy and buy the batter mix ready to pour in the pan, or you could put some love and fun into making them.

Since trying genuine American pancakes for breakfast in (where else, but) the USofA - i will never go back to plain boring English ones.
This is (in my opinion) the best way to make them:

130g Plain flour
1tsp of Baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 tbsp of caster sugar
130 Ml of full fat milk
1 Egg
2 dollops of butter
Maple syrup to serve

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, egg and butter together. Slowly combine the milk. Pour small thick dollops into a heat frying pan. And fry on each side for about 2 mins

Ooo, and if you want to make them and eat them later with some butter and jam on- then mix some saltanas- and hey presto, you have a lush treat!
