crabby cakes
for moi, the word "flapjack" is in the same category as "poultice" and "slotted spoon" - for some reason it makes my back go all cringey and i get an oooky woooooky shuddering-shoulder-blades-feeling.
now that the five kiwi kids are all under our roof again (do i hear a *yippee zippee*?!!) peeps are suddenly eating like the proverbial teenager *and* leaving teenage-sized messes everywhere - i woke up this morning dreaming of a fulltime kitchen-fairy/chef/housekeeper - to prevent the re-enactment of The Laughing Policeman.
and as i was scratching my head and wondering how on earth to keep the hungry tummies happy for the whole summer, i remembered that i've been wanting to make fl*pj*cks for a while - but the only recipes i've managed to find need kitchen scales. i'm a cup-measurer. enter Allyson Gofton, a kiwi chef and her kate-friendly recipe.

(*side note* these CRABBY CAKES are not really mummy-friendly - i didn't realise until i started measuring that they have half a pound of butter within. EGADS!)
i'll be surprised if they get to the storage container...

I dunno about the fl*ap j*cks, but lordy, those kiddos are delicious. Num num.
Ok, those are definitely yummy-er looking than what my grandmother called flapjacks.
Oh. I thought flapjacks were like pikelets? he he obviously I've been mistook.
I am not a sweet tooth person but I rather like those things.
We make them quite often but they just get troughed straight away.
And I know exactly what you mean re the amount the troop can scoff. And mostly I only have three here!!

giggle. yes they are.
and i am thinking - what do vegans use instead of Pure Creamery Butter? oh, marrrrgarrrrine?

delish, i tell ya. delish X

yeah i tried some awful ones when i was a kid - which is why it took me so long to psych up to trying the recipe myself X

well - it's a foncusing subject, cos we also have hot cakes and cr*ps, i mean crêpes - and they all have large amounts of enjoyment attached to the eating.
let me know when ya find out X
r.b.
oh, so they're a blighty thing? or american maybe? i think it's the amount of butter that makes them so endearing X
