Share the magic! – Our perfect Sunday breakfast with Steenbergs Organic

May 3, 2010

So, what’s for breakfast this Sunday morning? We are making “magic” pancakes. Everyone know the basic recipe, right?

100g organic plain flour
pinch of salt

½ tbsp fructose/ organic sugar
2 organic eggs
250m organic milk
50g organic unsalted butter

There are a few magic ingredients to add – I’ll tell you in a bit, they are top secret!

I combined the flour with the salt and fructose in a bowl and made a wee well in the centre of the bowl and add the eggs. Then I stirred well whilst adding the milk, and poured the mixture into a jug. The moment I added the Steenbergs Organic Fairtrade Vanilla Extract, the magic spread around! Such a warming feeling and sweet aroma! I use Steenbergs Organic Vanilla Extract in puddings of all shapes and sizes, ice cream, add it to whipped cream, use with fruit, or to hot chocolate – so versatile! And if you love vanilla then Steenbergs Organic Fairtrade Vanilla Extract is a must in your kitchen, too.

I added another magic ingredient – A few drops Steenbergs Natural Almond Extract, full of dreamy volatile bittersweet aromas! Steenbergs Almond Extract has no added sugar and is a traditional extract made with just water, alcohol and bitter almond oil. Steenbergs Almond Extract is also delicious in macaroons and bakewell tarts. Next time I will try it with pastries or just with apricots.

As soon as the batter hit the hot pan, I tipped it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter. We had some fan while flipping the pancakes over, making sure the pancakes land into the plate (and not the floor).

Rather than traditionally served with lemon and sugar, we decided to try something different. To add some more magic to our perfect Sunday breakfast, I served them sprinkled with Steenbergs Organic Fairtrade Chocolate Drops. They melted beautifully over the warm pancakes – so tasty!  They are delicious and dairy free.  Steenbergs organic Fairtrade chocolate drops are also perfect for making chocolate chip cookies or double chocolate muffins or cupcakes.

Now that the pancakes are served, there is only one thing we needed to enjoy our magic Sunday breakfast – tea! While my little one had her cup of milk, mummy and daddy indulge themselves with a cup of Steenbergs Organic Green Tea With peppermint! Instantly you feel so refreshed! Apart from being delicious drink that you don’t get bored of, it’s also great for detoxifying. And it’s so easy to make:

Simply put 1 teaspoon of Steenbergs organic green tea with peppermint into a pot, add freshly boiled water that has slightly cooled and leave to infuse for 3 – 4 minutes.

Voilà – the perfect Sunday breakfast with Steenbergs!
