About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Pancakes

Pancake Day brings back memories of huge pancakes smothered in good things, when I was young golden syrup was always a favourite in our house as well as the traditional lemon and sugar. Having young children means that there is no way I can get away with avoiding making pancakes, but fortunately with WW Full choice as long as you have the points you can indulge. There are many recipes for pancakes but here is my low fat version

Pancakes
Makes 6 – 1 Pt each

60 g plain flour
1 medium egg
¼ pint skimmed milk
Pinch of salt
Water

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk into a smooth batter, it should be the same consistency as cream. Do not worry too much about any lumps.

Heat a small non-stick frying pan and spray with oil from a mister. Add a ladle of batter and swirl around so that the bottom of the pan is covered. When the batter is set and bubbles appear on the surface flip or turn the pancake and cook until the other side is golden brown.

I served mine with lemon juice and a little sugar free vanilla syrup - delicious. I also love savoury versions such as turkey rashers and tomatoes or ham and cheese.
