One of the most important things I have learned from this experiment is that don't just suck at giving daily updates, but I truly, truly suck at it.
Since my last post, almost a week ago, the knitting on the cardigan has been finished and it has been blocked. Now it's time to add the crocheted edging, and then add the decoration.
I've also been playing with watercolours, and am part way through a paper and watercolour picture of a sunset at Peel Castle.
On the baking front, I'm adapted my great-grandma's recipe for Scottish pancakes. Out goes the refined sugar, and instead in comes apple sauce, apple juice and cinnamon. These pancakes are now gluten-free and dairy-free, but they still taste good. :o)
The recipe is:
2 cups of self-raising gluten-free flour (eg Dove Farm)
1 egg
1 heaped tablespoon of apple sauce
1/2 level teaspoon of cinnamon
about 2 cups of apple juice.
Mix the ingredients, and then pour some of the pancake batter onto a warm, but not hot, non-stick pan. When there's lots of bubbles all a- bubbling, turn the pancake and cook the other side.
My family has enjoyed them with butter, and also Nutella.
