Home made peanut butter

I have always bought a jar of peanut butter since the time i knew peanut butter existed.Until a few weeks ago i saw on tv how easy it was to make it at home, and since then I was itching to make it at home.And i discovered its not only easy but can be made sweet free and less oilier than the bottled ones.

We love peanut butter and to have this home made one is even more better as its free from preservatives and unwanted fat and sugars.

Bread is my all time anytime favourite snack to munch on.This easy and healthy sandwich is so yummy and it has fruit so double yummy!

To make the peanut butter, its not a recipe exactly just the rough procedure :

You need 

Roasted and peeled peanuts as much you need

Oil (i used sunflower oil) 2 3 tablespoons

Rock salt a pinch

Honey as much as you need (if you need to sweeten it)

• Add all the stuff to a blender or food processor and make into a creamy peanut butter.Add enough oil to make the peanut butter nice and smooth or crunchy as per your taste.

To make the sandwich : spread peanut butter and jam generously on slices of bread and chop a banana and place them in between the bread slices and enjoy.

Hope you all enjoy some creamy delicious home made peanut butter and enjoy your peanut butter sandwich with a hot cuppa tea!

Tips:

• Store peanut butter in a clean glass bottle in the refrigerator and it's been good so far been a week now for me.
• I didn't add any sweetener like i mentioned earlier as we usually have peanut butter and jam and jam is loaded with sugar.Just the salt is good enough to make it taste good.
• You need to add enough oil to get the right spreading consistency.
• Check if your mixer jar is dry else the peanut butter may not stay good for too long.

Super soft Butter milk pancakes

Have you woken up on a Saturday itching your head about what to make for breakfast??This saturday morning i woke up exactly like that.And I thought let me make some pancakes.Now my LM won't even touch pancakes but even she had these with what turns out to be her favourite topping...take a wild guess??...condensed milk!!!

I used to be always fascinated by none other than Nigella Lawson making these little beauties on tv.At one time i was so obsessed with these I used to make them every weekend.Then i got a little too conscious about all the flour its got.But its a good breakfast for kids.These should be good enough with whole wheat flour but this time i stuck to all purpose flour.

Any fresh fruit crush or jam should taste beautiful with these fluffy pancakes.I had black currant jam in hand and DH enjoyed it with some honey, butter, jam and the winner for both dad and daughter was condensed milk!

Preparation time: 30 minutes (including cooking time)

You need 

All purpose flour 1 cup
Cold Milk 1 cup + lemon juice from a wedge of small lemon
Egg 1 large
Curd 2 tsp
Pinch of salt
Baking powder 1/4 tsp
Baking soda 1/4 tsp
Sugar 2-3 tsp
Vanilla essence 1 and half tsp
Vegetable oil/butter 2-3 tsp

•  Whisk an egg in a wide mouthed bowl, until pale yellow.Add milk and lime mixture with curd and mix well.
• Add the oil and vanilla essence and mix well.
• Now add the flour, salt,sugar, baking powder and soda and mix all until well combined.
• Heat the pan/griddle and pour ladle-fulls of the mix, when tiny bubbles appear on the edges/throughout the top of the pancake, its ready to be flipped over.
• Repeat until you finish off all the batter.

almost gone!

• Serve the pancakes hot with any favourite toppings of your choice - jam,honey,butter,chocolate sauce or even condensed milk and don't forget to grab your hot cup of coffee to go along!

Tips :

• All purpose flour can very well be replaced with whole wheat flour, check out my whole wheat flour pancakes here.
• If you're planning to use some super sweet topping like condensed milk or even honey you can reduce or totally cut down on the sugar in the pancake mix.
