Pancakes it is!

Hi all,


Spent 3 hours making thank you presents for the teachers and for the after school care ladies this afternoon - with the kids obviously..!


I am in desparate need of a 'survival rosé' now...!!! My friends, you know what I am talking about :).


Can't be bothered to make a fuss of supper anymore now so Dutch pancakes it is! Yes, the thin ones - but lots of them ;). I use spelt flour (Sharpham Park) these days rather than wheat as it is sooooo much easier to digest. Also, it makes the pancakes crispier. Yum!


My favourite is with thin streaky bacon and golden syrup (the Dutch version of the syrup I'm afraid). Maple syrup is good too. Matthew's is sugar and freshly squeezed lemon. Susie's home made strawberry (or any other for that matter!) jam. Although her favourite changes regularly - just because she can ;). And 'papa' tends to keep it savoury altogether with bacon and cheese as his favourite. Rich that..


So...below is a photo of the work we did this afternoon. The 'tea light thank you presents'. Nice on the table outside for an alfresco supper.....for when the summer finally starts....!


Made with just empty jars, ripped tissue paper and wallpaper paste! All credit to my sister Femmes who showed us how to do this a year and a half ago! Thanks darling - brilliant! See you on Saturday. Can't wait ;)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Toodeloo!
