Today - Salt dough decorations and pancakes

So last night I spent my time making the dough for the salt dough decorations I'm making for Christmas, as well as drinking a bit too much wine!
This morning I had a little peak at my achievements, I dried them for an hour in the oven at 90C and then left them out to dry naturally over a day or two.



I didn't have any cookie cutters - as I haven't unpacked these yet - so I just made a few for fun and carved them with a little knife.

Most of them are quite small, as I want to use them as decoration for wrapping the presents.
Tomorrow I will paint them using acrylic paint and lots of glitter! 

Realising I was very hungry I decided to make some wheat free breakfast pancakes this morning. 

Here's the recipe:

WHEAT FREE BREAKFAST PANCAKES

1 Egg
1 Cup of milk
1 tsp oil
1 tbsp sugar/honey
1 1/2 cup of wheat free plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda


Preparation:

Beat egg and add milk oil and honey.
In a separate bowl mix the flour and dry ingredients. Then create a well in the middle where you can pour the liquids. Stir until well blended.
Now pour into your lightly greased frying pan and fry your pancakes!

I ate mine with maple syrup and choc spread ( I had two) This batter makes 3 good sized thick pancakes.

I was meant to take photos, but got too over excited and ended up eating them all up!


Now I'm going to sit and read this book - this is the second time I'm reading it, I love to pick it up and start reading from random sections, it always inspires me.
