Pancake Tuesday recipe II. and our Mummy and Daughters aprons

When I was a kid I used to play a lot with the girl next door at my parents' weekend house. Her
Mum made ther most delicious pancake cake ever!
Now I tried it too and it is just...hmmmmm....

 Ingredients:

4 eggs, separated

50g butter + extra for frying

100g flour

250ml milk

pinch of salt

vanilla sugar or brown sugar for sprinkling (or cinnamon & sugar)

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. It helps if you have a working food processor... (sigh)

 In a separate bowl beat the butter and egg yolks. I melted the butter previously and let it to cool a bit and worked like a treat, made it a lot easier to get it fluffy.

 Little by little add the flour, milk and salt.

Finally fold in the egg whites.

 Melt some butter in a frying pan and add a laddle-ful of the mixture. Cook until the bottom is light brown and the top is bubbly and set. DO NOT flip over!
Slide the pancake onto a plate with the pale side up. Sprinkle with some brown sugar (or vanilla sugar/ cinammon sugar etc.). 

Repeat until you run out of the mixture. Put the last pancake on top wit the brown side upwards.

Serve sliced with some custard or vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream... But be quick, it disappears all too fast!! 

I managed to finish the Mummy and Daughter aprons today. So my little girls can don an apron each when helping me! And I have a matching one too :) 

Choosing the fabrics and applique pattern

Our muffins!



The cut pieces for the apron, ruffle and tie







I ruffled the apron then sew on the tie




Then pin and sew on the applique




Making the ruffle. So easy!




Pinned on the ruffle and sew it on

 I used an awesome tute for making the ruffle.

And voila!

They came out pretty cute :) But I think I still need to practice a few things... Like applique...
