American Pancakes In Cornwall


Not a great picture, but these pancakes are delicious & so easy to make...
They also got the thumbs up from our American friends!

Vegan Pancake Recipe
1 cup (250g) self-raising whole wheat flour
1 cup porridge oats
1 heaped teaspoon ground linseeds or egg replacement powder
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup water
1 cup plant milk

Method
Chuck all the dry ingredients into a bowl or large measuring jug.
Gradually add the wet ingredients & mix well.
Finish by whizzing with a hand blender...

We made them for breakfast at the weekend.
(Little D wasn't keen on Sime's porridge)

We get the hob ring hot & use a non-stick pan, so no need for oil, etc.
Pour enough mixture in the pan & cook until it starts bubbling fiercely.
The pancake should just flip over easily.

We burnt this one, so D (isn't she a cutie?) gave it to her Daddy...
We like fresh lemon or lime juice on ours with either some home made cinnamon sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup... Enjoy!

D's parents were in Cornwall to do a couple of shows & she likes joining in too...

We'll do another post about them & how we met...

Have a super duper weekend!

    Jane - I definitely couldn't eat more than 2!

    Kath - I think most food we enjoy cooking is using the "chuck it in" method!

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b

Our Neighbours

The ladies next door have been giving birth in the field. Their babies are like any other babies - they sleep, they feed, they follow their mums everywhere, they run around, then fall asleep again.  These little beauties are completely unaware of their fate... But we know... And this is one thing which makes living here difficult. How can people eat other beings without feeling terrible?     It just doesn't make sense. Both the posters are from the  Cornwall Vegans  website. If you are in Cornwall or will be on Saturday 22nd April - do support this event! Perhaps you have been considering veganism - this  Vegan Starter Kit  will help you to get started and if you have any questions, need help or ideas for recipes - just ask, we are always happy to talk to folks who want to change their diet for the better.

Nettles

Our garden yesterday. Tall Nettles TALL nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. ~ Edward Thomas ~ Every time we venture out to pick nettles, Sime always goes on about this poem! Anyway, thought I'd share with you the article I've written for next month's Parish Magazine... Our hedgerows are coming alive with food aplenty, but hardly anyone really notices the nettles that surround us, they grow quietly while using their juices to produce a medicine that can bring health. Anaemia, arthritis, rickets, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, colds, catarrh and lymphatic problems can all benefit from this wonderful wild and free super food. Nettles are rich in ca
