PANCAKES, NIGELLA STYLE

Sadly our Pancake Sunday routine went out the window with footy season, so today I thought, why not Pancake Saturday for this week.

This is a Nigella recipe and it's great to store all of the dry ingredients together in a jar in the pantry so if you are having a lazy morning, just grab them out, add the wet stuff and your done.

Pancake Recipe

600g plain flour
50g baking powder
50g castor sugar
2tsp bi-carb soda
1tsp salt

Put in a jar and shake.

1 cup mixture (above)
1 egg
1 cup milk

whisk lightly
add 1 Tbsp melted butter to mixture and whisk.

We like to have ours with freshly squeezed lemon juice and raw sugar or maple syrup.

There you have it, light fluffy, yummy pancakes all ready to be devoured.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

We have been having a great time these school holidays, being winter, we've had to entertain ourselves mostly indoors but there's been very few fights and lots of laughs.
I was given 2 bags of apples and 2 of lemons during the week, so today we all peeled, cut, stewed and froze the apples all ready for apple pies.

Tomorrow I will make lemon curd.

I spent a day cleaning up the kid's rooms. Boy what a mess they had gotten into. It's amazing what you find under those beds when you haven't looked under them for a while. Used bandaids and tissues, broken toys, an old apple (all squishy), socks and undies ewwwww. Boys can be gross sometimes.
Here is the after shot of the boys's room.

Sophie's room was better, we just had to get rid of lots of stuff.
