Simple Pancake Recipe

It is started as one of those days when boy stones hanker after a pancake breakfast.

We decided to go for an old fashioned buckwheat pancake recipe.  I have often had these at creperies in France and wondered at the paper thin crepes. One on occasion I did get chatting to the lady making the pancakes and she told me her secret to a great pancake is Free Range Eggs.
You know what I think she is most probably right.  Free Range anything sounds great to me.  Self sufficient living off the grid is all about being free to me!!
This blog is all about documenting and investigating the frugal lifestyle and it is totally about being Free Range, Being who ever you are!!
But back to our simple pancake recipe.

Here are our STEP by STEP PHOTO instructions on how to make pancakes with our Basic Pancake Recipe

Here is OUR Step by StepVideo if you want to see how we made pancakes with our SIMPLE Pancake Recipe VIDEO


I like the idea that the frugal lifestyle is about focusing on what you have got and not worrying too much about what you have not got.

Home Made Elderflower Fritters

• Home Made Elderflower Fritters

Today I made Elderflower fritters  for the first time, and it was EASY!!

We cycled down the lane and found 6 elderflower trees bursting with flowers. In fact it was such a good spot that I made a mental note to to go back there when the berries are ripe to make some homemade elderberry wine.  I wonder whether anyone has a simple elderflower wine recipe ? Do leave me a comment if you do .

I was thinking about being more skint at the moment has made us so much more inventive and creative.  Frugal living doesn't have to mean boring, does it?  It can mean an adventure, having new experiences and having fun.

• Picking the Elderflowers

I love the way the flowers are held together in a beautiful umbrella with a flat top.  I took a picture of a head of elderflowers in bud and one in flower because for elderflower fritters the flowers have to be open. I stuck my nose in like a bee and took a big sniff.  The smell is fabulous.  

Using the scissors on the pen knife the boy stones snipped off enough heads to fill a bag.  We did try to just pull them off but ended up with a confetti of the delicate little elderflowers as the umbrella exploded with the vigour.  Lovely but useless for fritters.

We found a lovely simple batter recipe for the elderflower fritters.. I will share photos and step by step instructions for making elderflower fritters on our Wilderness Wigwam site.. stay tuned..
