Shrove!!!!

Well who would have thought that it was Shrove Tuesday?!!? Not that I need an excuse to have pancakes, I still like to have one! So tonight I made amazing pancakes!!! [well actually they were pikelets because I like them better... but they are basically the same thing...] And I'm going to share my recepie with you!!! Huzzah!!!!

1 cup self raising flour
1 tbs castar sugar
1 tbs brown sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 egg

- Preheat a frypan on medium heat (if you are using a gas stove like I did make sure it's on pretty much as low as you can get it otherwise it cooks too fast and burns... Which makes sad pancakes)
- In a bowl whisk egg and milk. Then whisk in sugars.
- Slowly whisk in SR flour.
- Melt some butter into the pan [I don't really like using butter or oil in my cooking so I just used some canola cooking spray which worked fine]
- Add about 1/4cup of the mixutre to the pan [you can comfortably fit about 2 pancakes into the pan, but it depends on the size you use]
- Cook for about 2-3mins or until bubbles start coming up and then flip and cook for another 2mins or until cooked through.
- Ta dahhhh! You have pancakes!!!!

So I like mine a little thicker than usual pancakes and I like to add a bit extra brown sugar, so in my first attempt I had put in a little too much milk, but then I added about 1cup more flour and about 1tbs more brown sugar.

So the ones on plate are my lame first attempt [hence the "first pancake" saying, because you always stuff the first one up] and the ones in the pan are the better second attempt which were amazing!!! I forgot to take a photo of the final product... because I ate it... And it was amazing!!!!

Also, Starbucks Queen St celebrated its 10th birthday and we had cake to celebrate! The bosses wife made this and it was AMAZING!

And then when I walked home it RAINED!!!! Like soooooo much! And I found that I could walk on water...

So how was your day???

Hehe. But really... That was a giant puddle and I was lucky that was Friday afternoon because my shoes were wet until Sunday. Poop.

Well thats about it for this evening. Happy Pancake Day AND Happy International Womens Day!!!!
