Even though it’s quite a few years that separate me and the real Shrove Tuesday celebration, in  my memory the festivity is still alive with people in great costumes, burning More, dances around the fires and generous amounts of pancakes consumed throughout the day. The latter is not missed here, and as nobody invites us to kick the winter out of the yard, at least we make it a feast for the frying pan and our tummies

Sweet breakfast.

Nors jau daug metu skiria mane ir tikra uzgavieniu sventima, bet prisiminimuose svente vistik vis dar tebegyva persirengeliais, deganciom Morem, sokiais aplink lauzus ir blynu persivalgymu. Va pastarojo dalyko cia netruksta, o kadangi niekas nekviecia spirti ziemos is kiemo, tai bent jau pasidarom svente sau ir keptuvei

Saldus pusryciai.

Ingredients:

120g plain flour

2 eggs

350ml rice milk (or any other milk)

pinch of salt

2 tablespoons agave syrup

For the filling:

sliced bananas

desiccated coconut

ground cinammon

lemon juice

To make this simple pancake batter, sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the egg and beat well. Then add the milk gradually, syrup and beat to make a smooth runny batter.

Heat a little oil in a large frying pan until hot and then pour enough batter to thinly coat the base of the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes each side.

Serve filled with sliced banana, desiccated coconut, cinnamon and a splash of lemon juice.

Simple recipe, yet delicious result. Indeed.

Teslai:

120g kvietiniu miltu

2 kiausiniai

350ml pieno (mes sekmingai naudojam ryziu)

ziupsnelis druskos

2 saukstai syrupo ar cukraus (tinka kas patinka, mes mylim datuliu, klevo, agavo syrupus)

Idarui

griezineliais pjaustyti bananai

kokoso drozles

cinamonas

cirtinos sultys

Paprastai blynu teslai pasigaminti, susiberiame miltus ir druska i dubeni. Pridedame kiausinius, gerai iplakame. Palaipsniui pilame piena, syrupa ir maisom iki vientisos skystos teslos.

Ikaitinam truputeli aliejaus keptuveje, pilam samti teslos, paskirstom tolygiai kad pasidengtu visas keptuves pavirsius.  Kepam kiekviena puse po pora minuciu.

Patiekiam pripildytus pjaustytu bananu, kokoso drozlem, cinamonu ir slaku cirtinos sulciu.

Paprastas receptas, bet resultatas l. skanus. Net labai.

after some silence let’s make some noise!

‘Hot crossbuns’… – whispers big bear no1. Or do I hear my own whispering? Hmmm… That’s Bruno

‘I don’t want a new home!’ – shouts big bear no2 (Cinnamon)c. I’m gonna have to make sure he goes to a lovely family (as lovely as ours, he he

‘Where are our promised wooden boxes?’ – I hear these two non stop… ‘Sigh’…

Small bear 1

and small bear 2

‘Carrots! Carrots! Caaarrroootttsss!’ – on demand from this little creature

‘I wish my scarf would be white, not brown…’  – comes from the corner of my desk. So I’m looking for some white yarn now for my white bunny. I’m also gonna make a white quilt for her. And white cakes to go with a white tea set. All in a white wooden box…

And there are two more bigger bears… One needs legs and both – clothes, toys… So still quite a bit to do, but I’m getting closer and closer with my proper shop update. I’m!

That’s it for now. Will be back with the progress on my shop update very soon.

Enjoy the rest of the week!
