Noodle Omelet

Things you need:
 1. Knorr noodles - Lemon Chili or Chicken Sizzler flavour
 2. Eggs
 3. Olives
 4. Chicken (can be boiled and shredded or fried)
 5. Cheddar cheese slices
 6. Green onions (optional)
7. Mushrooms (optional)

 Okay. For every one packet of Knorr noodles, I use three eggs. So, you boil your noodles until they are cooked. Then you drain the water. Take a bowl. Add the noodles, add eggs, add olives, add mushrooms and add the chicken. Now sprinkle the taste maker packet on top. Now mix the batter until everything is incorporated into the batter.

 Now, take a non-stick frying pan. Ad a generous amount of oil, not too much and not too little. Pour the mixture on VERY LOW FLAME. Spread the mixture and cook it from one side for at least 7 - 9 minutes. Cover it! Helps cook it evenly. After 7- 9 minutes...shake the pan and if you see that the mixture isn't moving and seems fairly solid, flip it!

 Now lay your cheese slices on the top! And cover again. Cook for 7 - 10 minutes or until the egg is completely cooked! Sprinkle oregano on top. And enjoy!

 Serve with chilli garlic sauce. It's breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. My family is NUTS about it!

Pancakes

I know, I know, been ages since I added any new recipes. I promise to do so more frequently from now, since that will save me having to inbox them individually on fb =p

I've been making pancakes since I was a kid.  I have always loved reading - the kids in my novels would always serve their mums breakfast in bed on Mum's Day, and it fascinated me no end. Back then I used to burn them EVERY time, so mum got burnt pancakes for Mother's Day breakfast. Of course, this hasn't happened in ages now, but this is what mum will always remember, no? She makes a crack about it every year: "What, no burnt pancakes? You obviously don't love me anymore" -.-

Anyway, they are super easy to whip up, and there are a large number of variations that may be tried (choc chips, berries, etc). I love mine with either Nutella, or margarine and marmalade!

Here they are:

3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
oil

Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour" (if using cartonmilk, take 1/2 cup milk and add 2-3 tbsp yogurt to it, as boxed milk does not 'sour').

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.

Heat a large pan over medium heat, and add a little oil, only enough to coat the base. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake. Flip with a spatula, and cook until golden on the other side.

DO double the recipe as this usually makes just 4-5-6 Pancakes.
