Japanese Soufflé Pancakes

I refrained from cooking these for a long time as I thought they would be hard to cook but they turned out to be easier than anticipated. I also made with GF flour and it works just as well as there is very little flour needed.

Aloo Gobi

One of my favourite dishes and it does take a little bit of patience for the potato and cauliflower to steam in its own moisture. Ensure your potato is cooked to a size that it will cook the same time as the cauliflower or the cauliflower may become overcooked and disintegrate. The recipe I followed: …

I don’t have permission to share this recipe but there are many on the internet. I made the filling using the bread machine function which I found easier as I don’t have patience to stand and stir for 45mins. The pineapple filling was a tart and a lovely contrast to the buttery pastry. Something I …

I tried Christine’s recipe several years ago and found it didn’t provide results I required. I was given a recipe to try and these are much better, so good I ate 3! The sponge does not deflate like Christine’s and the texture is much better. I don’t have permission to share this recipe hence it …
