Recipe: Gluten-Free pancakes

Gluten-free pancakes with bananas and caramel sauce

 

Recipe Link Here
  Ingredients
1 ½ cups gluten-free self-raising flour
1 tbs caster sugar
1 egg, lightly whisked
1 ¼ buttermilk
40g butter, melted
2 ripe bananas, peeled, thickly sliced
⅓ cup brown sugar
½ cup thin cream

Method

1. Combine the four and sugar in a large bowl.  Make a well in the centre.  Add the egg and buttermilk and stir to combine.
2. Brush a large non-stick frying pan with a little of the melted butter.  Place over medium-low heat.  Pour three ¼ cupfuls of mixture around the edge of the pan.  Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface.  Turn and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until golden and cooked through.  Transfer to a plate.  Repeat in 3 more batches with remaining butter. 
3. Increase heat to medium-high.  Brush pan with remaining butter.  Add banana and cook for 1 minute each side or until lightly caramelized.  Transfer to a plate. 
4. Add the brown sugar and cream to the pan and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves and sauce thickens.  Remove from heat.

My notes…
We didn’t cook our banana - the kids just enjoyed the banana as is.

Laundry Liquid Recipe

Browsing through some of my favourite blogs I rediscovered Rhonda Hetzel's laundry liquid recipe.  It requires only a few simple ingredients. 

 

You can find the ingredients and method here: Down to Earth
Rhonda's laundry liquid recipe is extremely cost effective ($1.75 for 10 litres-Rhonda provides a break down) and this is a bonus for my family of five because I wash almost every day.  As Rhonda suggested, you can source the ingredients from our local IGA store.  It really didn't take that long to make.  I don't think I will ever buy laundry liquid/powder again.

I purchased Rhonda's book some time ago and this recipe success has prompted me to go back for more inspiration.

still making funny faces

My, time flies.  Baby flutterbug is well and truly in 'toddler world'.  He still enjoys making funny faces any chance he gets.

Weekending...here and now

 



A nature walk around the lake allows us to appreciate the new season.  Oh Autumn, we have plans.  There are plans to spend more time on projects inside and there are plans to spend time outside enjoying your balmy weather. 
 
Here, the sun struggles to sustain its harsh sting.  Now, the wind is stirring around these parts. 

Yes, we are looking forward to Autumn. 
 

Happy weekending to you and your family.

In Autumn...

It was a perfect morning to visit the country markets.

 

Nestled in a peaceful location and known to locals from the region.

Here there is time; time to wander, time to sit, time to catch up with friends.

There is time to consider possibilities for our little garden space. As we venture home we plan to make time in the afternoon to plant our new additions. 

 

P.S Thanks for checking in so often.  It seems I am not the only one from the blogging world that has just been caught up with the busyness of life.  We are all well.  Thank you for your texts and emails.
