We have pancakes quite a lot, so here's what I've learned:
1. Use a good non-stick pan. I actually have a special non-stick pan reserved only for pancakes and eggs - I have found that cooking meat in the same pan wrecks the surface & causes the pancakes to stick.
2. Use low heat to cook. Because my pancakes are a bit thicker than most, cooking on low heat ensures that they are cooked all the way through, without burning on the outside.

| Saturday morning pancakes |
2 cups self-raising flour
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Mix ingredients. Scoop out blobs onto a non-stick frypan & cook until small bubbles appear on the top surface.

* I looked at some recipes on Taste this morning & realised that I use a more sugar than others do. The pancakes are quite sweet - nice to eat, even without a topping.

Interesting. I've never used sugar. Our pancake recipe uses 300g plain flour, 60g butter, 2 cups milk, and 3 eggs. We usually put a sweet topping on (e.g. honey or jam or berries), so these are sweet enough for us.
I love how you started this post...no bread, no car. But you have strawberries and lemon!!! what can go wrong :)
I really wanted to have pancakes for dinner after reading this. But I could not bring myself to cook more food, or to create more washing.
Tomorrow!!!
Julie - I never really thought about ours being sweet, until my Mum told me that she doesn't put any sugar in hers (which explains why it didn't seem weird to eat them with vegemite).
Glorya - I actually took that picture on a different day. But, we probably did have strawberries - we are eating at least a punnet a day at the moment!
I still have no car. Hopefully will get it back on Thursday. It's actually been quite nice to walk more & to just make do with the things we already have rather than going out to buy more.
