Hey Harper! What's New?

Well, the coming of Spring is NOT! Hahahaha...But even with the snow currently icing everything this April morning, I feel a sense of excitement for the year ahead. I hope you do too!

I am seeking cozy experiences right now. Sunday Pancakes being a tradition I love, though pancakes are one of my greatest downfalls. I am a TERRIBLE pancake maker. I don't know wny. I have tried dozens of recipes, I own French pancake pans, I obviously have an understanding of heat levels in cooking...I just CAN'T make a good pancake. But. I did alright this week with a pancake recipe from Jamie Oliver.

I did have to mess with the recipe a little bit as it came up too think to blend as written, so I added more milk to make it the consistency I am used to in a pancake recipe. As well, self rising flour is not as common here as in the UK, so I added 3tsp of baking powder to 250g of regular flour. What I loved was the bit of chew 50g or oats added, as well as the fact that not only were there bananas in the batter, but sliced ones carmelized on top (bottom?).

Some dark choclate chips make this an almost perfect Sunday pancake!

With no eggs in the recipe this is easliy made vegan too!

As we try mightily to transition into springtime, may your fire glow warm, your spirits fly high and your pancakes not burn!
