Pancakes

Image
These pancakes are fluffy and delicious! An absolute win in our house!  I like whipping up a couple of batches then popping them in the fridge for up to 3 days. I don't actually currently own a freezer so these are super convenient to make in advance for a sneaky snack or breakfast!  Ingredients  2 tablespoons of butter 130 ml milk 1 large egg 2 tablespoons of sugar 1 teaspoon of baking powder 135g plain flour  How to do Melt the butter on a low to medium heat in your chosen pan.  Measure out all the ingredients in a jug and whisk together. Lumps are desirable and you don't want to over mix, so if it looks a little lumpy, you're golden!  Once the butter is melted, pour into the pancake mix and fold until combined.  Pop your heat to a medium and wipe the excess butter out of the pan.  Cook the pancakes until you start to see bubbles and flip, they will then puff up slightly once flipped, this is a good sign, don't squish them!  You...

This pasta Alfredo is absolutely delicious and sooo easy to make. I like to make this when I'm in a pinch as it has minimal ingredients. I normally just need to buy cream and I'm good to go!  This works amazing with some veg chucked in, which I cook in the water with the pasta, or a serving of crispy bacon on top. I normally opt of broccoli and green beans when using veg.  Also worth noting, I have used both hard Italian style cheese and cheddar in my makes, both have worked very well! Just use what you have to hand!  Ingredients  Handful of spaghetti pasta Tablespoon of butter 4 cloves of garlic 150ml Double cream  Handful of grated cheese Grinding of black pepper How to do Cook the pasta to packet instructions and pop the tablespoon of butter in a pan on a low heat. Once melted, mince and add the garlic, stir every so often and just let it cook and mingle in the butter!  Stir in the cream until fully combined and pop up to a low/ medium heat u...

Stumped on what to make for lunch today and limited ingredients, I whipped up these cheese and chive muffins!  I opted for dried chives as that's what I had to hand, but mixed herbs or any dried herbs would work just as well!  Ingredients  (Makes about 6–8 small muffins)  120g plain flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp garlic granules  1 egg 100ml milk 30g of olive oil (or melted butter) 50g grated cheese 1-2 tsp dried herbs  How to do  Preheat the oven to 180⁰c (160⁰c fan) and prep your muffin cases I just measured out all the ingredients in the same bowl and gently folded until combined Spoon into your cupcake cases and pop in the oven for about 17-20 minutes. Until golden on top and firm to the touch I served ripped up into bite size chunks and with some hummus!
