mmm yummy pancakes

So here I am back again this time to bring to you stories of cooking in a apartment with a stove top and microwave! And I know from other friends here that having a microwave is a big bonus!

Anyway today's stove top recipe is:
Perfect Plain Pancakes

Ingredients
1 cup (150g) self raising flour
1 egg
1 cup (250ml) milk
1 tablespoon butter
Caster sugar
Lemons

Directions: Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Break the egg into the well, gradually stirring in the flour. Slowly add half the milk and stir until all the flour is absorbed.
Continue beating until bubbles rise then stir in the rest of the milk gradually. If possible, stand batter aside for at least half an hour.
Take a small piece of butter and melt in a frying pan, then pour it out and wipe the pan out with kitchen paper towel. Put in another piece of butter and when it has melted pour in a little of the batter and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn with a spatula.
When cooked on both sides, slip pancake onto a piece of paper, sprinkle with caster sugar and roll up. Continue in the same way until all the batter is used.
Serve hot accompanied by lemon wedges or sprinkle lemon juice over pancakes.

I'd love to hear from people if they have any good microwave and/or stove top recipes! I like to experiment and try cooking new things and currently I'm staying with a friend who is keen to try eating new things so it works well! (^o^)

Mmm yum, sounds good! Your brother would probably like them too. I will have to see if I can find the recipe for the chocolate cake that can be cooked in the microwave. You could probably mix by hand and make the choc cherry/truffles if you can get the ingredients for some of your friends to try.
