Bored with Butties phase 39a
Here’s an idea for a sumptuous dessert after your chicken fajitas. Actually I was looking at the online news and saw this story - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-t ... l-11424527 - and suddenly had the idea of drop scones or Scotch pancakes
The story was quite vivid as we’d visited Scone Palace last year on the way back from the Scottish bash at Blairgowrie....
....so the thought of White Van Man demolishing both his van and the archway was a tad distressing. Oh well, best cook some lunch to get over the shock!
4 oz self-raising flour, 1 oz sugar, pinch of salt, an egg and ¼ pint milk....
Mix everything up until you have a smooth batter....
....turn the griddle upside-down – this has two purposes, first you don’t get crinkly pancakes and secondly you don’t have to wash up after the fajitas, you just incinerate the crud off the bottom
....heat the griddle, drop a spoonful of batter onto it....
....when the surface is covered in bubbles turn it over....
....cook for half a minute on the other side....
....and you should have something along the lines of this....
Enjoy with butter & homemade damson jam (by Mrs Muz )
I’m a health-food freak as you all know, so why not try adding some blueberries, chopped raspberries and pomegranate seeds to the mix....
....dot the fruit on the batter to try to make faces....
....when you get bored with this, just tip all the fruit into the batter....
....and continue as before....
....oooooohhhhhh – these look promising!
....well come on, it’s healthier than some of the other stuff I’ve done
.... and drizzle with maple syrup - now that’s what I call a top lunch!
Hmmm, “drizzle” and “Scotch” – kind of go together don’t you think?

Boy o Boy am I hungry now
They look really good. Might have to see if I can torch a bit a batter. Shame your not at Silverdale. I might have had to to put you under Bongo arrest whilst the fruity scones are produced

You'll also note that no animals were killed or injured in the making of that meal. Well, there's an embryonic chicken that never quite made it but for me that's a definite result

I think the dairy-free version is called "singed fruit salad with a dusting of flour & sugar"....debbiepritch wrote:....no good for me tho, is there a dairy free version?
