Pancakes

Fathers Day in our house is usually celebrated with Pancakes for breakfast.  I have been on the lookout for a good pancake recipe since I lost my one that had been my all time favourite (long story don't ask lol).  Anyway I think I may have found one that comes close, its not quite there but it is about the closest I have found so far.

PANCAKES

360 grams Self Raising Flour

Pinch of Salt

90 grams Caster Sugar

3 Eggs

450mls Milk

Sift the Flour, Salt and Sugar together.

Whisk the Milk and Eggs together.

Mix together the Wet and Dry ingredients.

Ladle the mix into a hot frying pan.  I use about 1 ladle per pancake.  When you see bubbles forming, it is time to flip.  Cook until golden.

Serve with Lemon juice and sugar, Jam, Maple Syrup, whatever you like.  These are our favourites but I have on occasion been known to have Vegemite on mine :-)

 

Impossible Quiche

This recipe is quick and easy.  You can literally have it in the oven within about 15 minutes and on the table within another 30-40 minutes (depending on your oven lol).

This can easily be doubled/tripled and put into a casserole dish or a lasagne dish if you have a larger crowd, it will just need a longer cooking time.

The pictures I have included were of a quiche I made for a "Cultural Day" in Shortstuff's class.  Therefore, I made it pretty bland as it was serving predominantly 8 and 9 year olds, many of whom had never had quiche before.  Normally I add tomato and anything else I feel like.

IMPOSSIBLE QUICHE

1 1/2 Cups Milk

1/4 Cup melted Butter

3 Eggs

2/3 Cup Self Raising Flour

FILLINGS

Whatever you fancy - eg finely chopped onion, ham, mushrooms, flaked salmon, lightly cooked spinach, diced cooked chicken, corn, capsicum, tomato the choices are endless.

Dice up the filling ingredients

And place all filling ingredients into a lightly oiled quiche dish

Into a large mixing bowl, place your milk, eggs and melted butter

Add the Self Raising Flour

And whisk it all together

This may still be a little lumpy but thats okay, it doesn't have to be super smooth.

Grate some cheese - use whatever cheese you like or have on hand and as much or as little as you like.

Pour the milk/egg/flour mix over the fillings in the quiche dish and sprinkle with the grated cheese.

Bake in moderate oven for approximately 30-40 minutes.

Quiche is cooked when it is golden in colour and sets all the way through.

Ta-dah - One very yummy quiche which can be eaten hot or cold.

Perfect on a cold winter's night or in summer served with a salad.  Also perfect picnic food too!!
