Summer time pancakes

 
So, I hope you have been enjoying your weekend? The sun is still out in full blast (hooray), it just puts everyone in such a great mood. It's lovely having friends and family over, just relaxing in the garden, catching up over a glass of wine and something to eat. When people come round in the summer I love to make them my summer time pancakes. So, I thought I would share the recipe with you. They are soooo easy to make! Hope you enjoy them.
 
Take care

Makes 10-12 mini pancakes







  Firstly, measure out one cup of plain flour and one cup of full fat or semi skimmed milk. Pour these ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Then add one large egg. Whisk all the ingredients together until it resembles a batter mix. 





Next, grease a frying pan  with a small amount of oil (I have a mini frying pan which is great for making pancakes!) and heat the pan so that the oil is hot. When you have done that, add two tablespoons of the pancake mix to the pan.








Reduce the heat to a low flame and cook both sides of the pancake until golden (repeat for the other pancakes). Meanwhile, get a saucepan and add two cups of frozen or fresh berries and four tablespoons of water. On a medium heat, cook the berries until they have warmed through.


  Plate up the pancakes and pour the berries over them. You can also add some natural yoghurt or ice cream to top your pancakes. VoilĂ , so simple even I can make it!

Yay

My first ever blog and I couldn't of picked a better day. It's finally summer and the sun is out (at last)!
I have just finished college and work for the summer so have seven weeks until I go back to working again. That's part of the reason why I started this blog, to give me something to do in my bored moments!
It is supposed to reach 30* today, which a girl can't complain about. I headed down to the local seaside this morning and it already looks like a beautiful day. I think sunbathing and a family BBQ are in order for this afternoon! Hopefully this good weather will last.

Hoping you are having a beautiful weekend!!!
