So in the search for a few guest bloggers to through out the request to some of my favourite bloggers and OMG – Beth (or Bev as she likes to be known) from BabyMac responded to me and said that she would guest post. I was so excited that she would actually reply to me on social media and now I have had actual email correspondence! All my blogging dreams are coming true – lol, now over to Bev…
The key for me when juggling a new baby at home with a toddler was making the most of the time that I had with the older one when the baby was sleeping. Given how tricky this can be I looked for things that were quick and easy and delicious and this is the perfect combination of them all.
It’s the house of sick here at the moment. There’s gastro. There’s colds. Take your pick! I have two kids at home, a mountain of washing to get through and work to do – all while feeling pretty sick myself.
You know what that calls for? Pikelets!
For morning tea!
In under 7 mins go to whoa you have happier kids (and a happier Mum) even if it just lasts for 6 mins…
EASIEST PIKELETS EVER
1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup of milk
1 egg
A little butter for cooking
Whisk your self-raising flour, milk and egg together.
Put some butter in your pan to melt.
Spoon in (I use a tablespoon) the mixture and cook for a few mins each side. Wait until you see bubbles form before flipping.
Stack up, take an artistic shot and DEMOLISH.
We use a little spread of jam for those with colds, no jam for ones recovering from gastro. And extra jam for Mum’s who have had to clean vomit out of sheets in the middle of the night. DEAR GOD they need it!
Cook some extra to save for later and or just for each time you are in the kitchen catching your breath.
