time out

This is not from the hummingbird bakery cookbook but i really felt like sharing this so this is a quick break from the book. I had some pancakes a couple of weeks ago at a restaurant close to my house and I've been craving home-made pancakes ever since. They were really good but there's something better about cooking something you love in the comfort of your home and eating in your pyjamas.

I got the recipe from the BBC food website. Heres the link.

the first one

the others always come out smoother and
evenly coloured

I still had the left over strawberries because I decided not to make another batch of strawberry cheesecake cupcakes(as there are so many recipes and it would have been a waste of time no matter how delicious they were) so even though the recipe didn't say so i chopped them and threw them into the batter after making three plain ones.

made seven

dusted some icing sugar over the stack

You have to try this! Great for a sunday breakfast or brunch. Topped with maple syrup, butter, and if you can get your hands on fruit like strawberries which i used or blueberries which are generally suggested, they make it just perfect. It was moist, light and fluffy. It wasn't too sweet and the fruit gave a good balance.
