Fluffy Pancakes (hotcakes!)

• 
  
  • 1 cup SR flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (white is best)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons malt vinegar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  
  
  Stir the milk and vinegar together, and leave for 5 minutes while it curdles (this is like buttermilk, but a bit tastier!)
  In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Set aside.
  Add the melted butter and egg to the milk mix, stir, then mix in the dry ingredients - whisking until the lumps are gone. 
  
  
  Fry in a pancake sized frying pan in a knob of butter using about 1/3 cup per pancake. When the top of the PC starts to bubble and pop, flip until both sides are golden.
  
  
  Serve with a bucket of maple syrup and bacon. NOMMMMM!!!!!

Drunken Mushrooms on Toast

This is a weird one. I made it with a friend at 2am one night because its all we had in the fridge, dear lord it was awesome. Takes about ten minutes. Also awesome for breakfast :)

15 mushrooms - the darker the better
2+ TBSP half fat creme fraise
1 TBSP paprika
Salt/pepper

Chop the mushies into quarters (depending on the size) and throw into a pan with a little bit of olive oil. Slowly cook until the mushrooms start to get juicy but not QUITE cooked through (boo to soggy mushies). Add the paprika, a touch of salt and pepper and and continue to fry slowly, there should be tonnes of mushroom stock with a orangy colour from the paprika - if not add a dash of water and cover. When the mushies are al dente, add the creme fraise and warm through. You should have a thick, creamy sauce loaded with mushrooms. Pop onto vogels toast and blast with fresh flat-leaf parsley, salt and pepper.
