The Magical Recipe Tree

Welcome

The idea for storing my most used recipes online came after a period of having my recipes and cookbooks tucked away in storage. The ease and convenience of having them available at the push of an internet button was simply to good to resist! As much as I love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, I didn't create the majority of recipes on this site, I merely love to use them, but I'll attempt to document every recipe I know the origin of.
As a pescetarian, the selection of recipes will reflect this- but there will still be a few family recipes included from my pre-pesc years... though I aim to convert these to pesc-friendly dishes at some stage!

Mum's Crepe-Style Pancakes


Makes +/- 25 small.

500 ml (2 cups) cake flour
2 eggs
30 ml (6 tsp) melted butter or oil
600 ml milk
60 ml single cream
2 ml (1/2 tsp) baking powder
2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
Oil for baking

1- Combine the cake flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl.
2- Beat the eggs and milk together in a separate bowl.
3- Gradually add the dry ingredients, beating all the time. Beat in first the cream, then melted bugger or oil.
4- Pre-heat a heavy-based frying pan and grease lightly with oil.
5- Pour a thin layer of the batter into the pan, tilting it to distribute the batter evenly.
6- Bake on one side until lightly browned, about 2 minutes, then turn the pancake over with a fish slice or spatula and bake for another minute.
7- Turn the pancake onto a plate and keep warm over a saucepan of boiling water, or, covered in the oven at 100ÂșC.
8- Continue until all the batter has been used.

NOTE
* Leave batter to stand 1 HOUR before making pancakes.
* Pan only needs to be greased once
* Freeze pancakes with waxed paper or plastic in between each one. Wrap securely in foil. To serve after freezing, heat for 30 seconds on each side in a warm frying pan.
