Thick and Fluffy Pancakes


This yummy recipe was sent to me from my Mum and brings back memories of my childhood. 
This mixture allows the pancakes to rise a lot more than standard pancakes. They are more of a pikelet consistency, so you can choose to make smaller pancakes or larger ones. They are plain in flavouring so you can decide to add extra flavorings to the mixture or at the end on top of the pancakes. Some flavorsome added extras could be cacao nibs, almond/peanut butter, raw honey or maple syrup, berries, banana, or natural yogurt. 

Ingredients 

3 Large Free Range eggs
1 cup of white rice flour
1 heaped teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of milk (almond milk or other milk alternatives can be used) 
A pinch of salt




Method
1. Separate the eggs, putting the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yokes in another. 
2. Add the rice flour, baking powder, and milk to the egg YOKES and mix to a smooth thick batter.
3. Whisk the egg WHITES with the salt until they form stiff peaks. 
4. Fold egg white mixture into batter.
5. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat.
6. Pour a little olive oil or coconut oil onto some baking paper and spread onto pan.
7. Pour or spoon some of your batter into the pan and fry for a couple of minutes until it starts to look golden and firm. 
8. At this point you can sprinkle any desired flavourings onto the uncooked side before flipping over with a spatula (cacao nibs, berries, etc) or wait until they are cooked and add as a topping or you may have added these extras to the mixture already. 
9. Continue frying until both sides are golden. 
10. Serve hot with raw honey or maple syrup and any added extras (fresh fruit, natural yogurt, almond/peanut butter). 

You can store these in an air tight container in the fridge and eat cold or re-heated. Great snack for kids lunches. 

Enjoy x

Massaman Fish Curry

I found this single-serve Fish Curry recipe on the I Quit Sugar blog and knew i had to make it! It is filled with lots of fresh veggies and only takes 30 minutes to cook, which makes this dish the perfect mid-week recipe.  I've just used the veggies i had in my fridge, you can add in any veggies you like.  Note: if using store brought massaman curry paste (or any curry paste for that matter) make sure you read the list of ingredients because they can be full of oil and sugar.  If the first ingredient is oil, then don't buy it, the first ingredient should be a flavour like onion, chilli or lemongrass. Also try to avoid pastes that use palm oil.  Ingredients 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1/4 onion (thinly sliced) 1/2  capsicum/pepper (thinly sliced) 1/2 carrot (thinly sliced - lengthwise) 1 tin (165ml) coconut milk 2 tablespoons massaman curry paste The juice from 1/2 a lime 2-3 drops fish sauce 150 g white-fleshed fish fillet, 1 cup of frozen peas  1 t
