Crepe Maker? No! Pancakes!


So my mum wanted crepes one day when she was up visiting, and so what my mother wants she finds a way to get. She bought this crepe maker from our grocery store. That night we made crepes....and by the way htey wernt too hard to do. We filled them with a creamy chickeny mushroom mix we made up and enjoyed ourselves. The next morning my mother was gone but the crepe maker was obviously going to clutter her kitchen up!! so she left it to clutter mine. Which i dont mind her doing because it actually makes very nicely golden browned Pancakes.



Mels Pancakes
By Mel
My own recipe
Mine that im going to share,


makes 6 so obviously i double it!!

1 1/12 cups self raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarb
1 tbs sugar
1 heaped tbs butter melted
1 cup of milk or butter milk'
(or i normally use 1/4 cup milk powder mixed into the dry ingredients and a cup of water)
1 egg

Mix all dry ingredients together, add the wet and mix. Now if you like thinner pancakes add more milk if you like them thick and fluffy add less liquid if you like them perfect follow my recipe!!.
I frequently add blueberries, bananas, rasberries to the batter mmmm choc chips!! I also let the batter sit and rest while the pan is heating up.

White Toblerone!!


Ok so at my sisters wedding she had her husband to be at the times sister in-law (stay with me : ) ) to cater. Well I was actually the one that was co-ordinating with her (the sister in-law) about things to free up Sherri (my sister). One of the things i told her was " YES we have white toblerone chocolate for your white toblerone choclate cheese cake that your going to make as the primary desert" UMMM no we don't . Was i the last person to know that we don't commonly sell white toblerone chocolate where i live!! Well anyway this past Fathers day as i was wondering aimlessly about the stores trying to find the perfect present for the perfect husband i came across this..... A 400gm block of white toblerone chocolate in my local Kmart for $5. It must be a special occasion kind of appearance. Well i didn't get my hubby a present as such, I made him the most delectable white toblerone chocolate cheese cake, from a recipe i found on the internet supposedly made by a man who owns a cafe and HIS white toblerone cheese cakes are famous. No pictures it didn't last too long sorry.

What Are You Eating For Dinner??

Chicken Enchiladas

Sauce:
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 cloves garlic minced
1 green capsicum chopped
3 tsp mexican chilli powder
2 420g cans chopped tomatoes
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt

Filling:
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
3 tsp Mexican chili powder
500g shredded cheese
12 flour tortillas

Bring all sauce ingredients to a boil, then simmer for 30 mins. Put chicken and chili powder in a bowl and mix together. Spread a handful of chicken mixture, and cheese on each tortilla and roll up. Lay the enchiladas in a lightly greased pan. Cover them with sauce mixture, then sprinkle remaining cheese over the top. Top off with chopped spring onions. Bake in a 175 degree C oven for about one hour.

My husband is somewhat a Mexican food specialist!! considering he is half Mexican and from Arizona... Anyway for the first little while of our marriage he would make enchiladas from the old elpaso packets. And i really didn't like it Sorry dear, I kept telling him that i have a recipe (Aunty Jans) that is from scratch and is really nice. Now im not allowed to make anything else : )
And i think that should just about do it for cream for now...Well for that bottle any way!!!
