on the weekend

Pancakes for breakfast :

Lot's of sewing up squares  (and yes, I need a manicure) :

Drying oregano :

Rearranged a small corner in the kitchen and brought this set out of storage:

Here is the pancake recipe I use:

Nigella's American Pancakes (from the Domestic Goddess book)

225g plain flour
  1 tablespoon baking powder
  pinch of salt
1 teaspoon sugar
  2 large eggs, beaten
  30g butter, melted and cooled
300ml milk
butter for frying

 

Whisk all ingredients together until blended. You can leave for 20 minutes, but I am generally too impatient to do this. Pour a ladleful at a time into the frypan and cook until bubbling on the top. Flip over and cook for another minute or so.

I like to keep mine warm in a very low oven that I switch off after 5 minutes or so. I usually double the recipe for our hungry family of four... number 5 is still on a milk diet :)

Enjoy!
