Best Pancake Recipe

In honor of Pancake Tuesday, we had pancakes for breakfast. I found that these pancakes were just so nice and fluffy!

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 20g butter, melted

Method:

Sift salt, flour, allspice and baking powder into a bowl then add the sugar. Whisk vanilla, egg, milk and butter together and pour into flour mixture, whisking until smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes. Cook over a medium heat, turning when golden.  

Vegetable Fritters

This week I wanted to make zucchini fritters, but I had run out of zucchini. I then had a thought, what about skipping the zucchini altogether and just having mixed vegetables. I am so glad I did, these were so good even Little A had some. I don't even have any pictures because they got eaten so fast!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup self-raising flour
• 1 cup cheese, finely grated
• 1/2 cup creamed corn 
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup of carrot, grated
• 1 cup pumpkin, grated
• 1/2 cup cabbage, grated
• 1/2 cup red capsicum, chopped 
• 1 egg, whisked
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoons allspice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon of soy sauce

Method:

Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl. Then heat 2 teaspoons oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop 2-tablespoonful measures of vegetable mixture into pan. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
