Cottage Pancakes

June 10, 2012 by Abby 8 Comments

Cottage Pancakes

We recently pulled a 2.5kg (5.5lb) cauliflower out of the garden, so when Dara of Coffee and Lilacs suggested this recipe to me, I made it right away. The recipe only uses a little bit of cauliflower, but any little bit helps.

These cottage pancakes are lovely, light savoury pancakes and you can change the veggies to suit. I already had some ricotta so I used that instead of the cottage cheese in the original recipe. I also added some dill.

The recipe comes from 101 Cookbooks. If you haven’t heard of Heidi’s blog before, it’s full of wonderful healthy recipes. Check out the original recipe here.

Roman and I ate these for lunch with…you guessed it, cauliflower soup.

    Hi Abby,
    It’s perfect weather for cauliflower soup! (It’s raining and cold here in Sydney).
    I will have to try the pancakes. Thanks for the link.

    That sounds like a delicious lunch. I could do with some soup too even though it’s supposed to be summer here.

    Hurray for pancakes. They’re one of my favorite things to make for my boys. Sweet or savory! Yours look like they turned out great. When you originally said that you picked the cauliflower from your garden, I was a bit perplexed. It just dawned on me that it’s winter in your part of the world…duh! We had broccoli last winter, but this year we will try for cauliflower too.

      I’m sure many people get confused by the blog because I’m on the wrong side of the world. All the Winter clothes and food going on now!

A new hat! I used the free #closetcoresunhat. I've A new hat! I used the free #closetcoresunhat. I've added a hair hole, since why don't all hats have that?! Also added some garden wire to the brim.  Instead of finishing the brim edge with bias, I did the usual RST stitch, fold and top stitch. That means the brim is a little shorter than the pattern. I wanted to keep the hat lightweight, so it's unlined and has only the two layers of canvas fabric for the brim. The cotton canvas is a vintage fabric from my stash, which originally cost 15 shillings and 9 pence (I think) per yard.

My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Part My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Party was the Lucca Dress from @schultzapparel. I adore the 18th Century vibe! After toiling my measured size, I ended up going down 2 sizes and after a few minor tweaks I make to most patterns (shorten and move forward the shoulder and realign the side seams) it was good to go. I was planning to finish the front with eyelets but ended up hand sewing in hook and eye tape. I love the clean look! When trying it on I wanted a little more oomph in the hips so I added some tulle hip pads to the sides. I added in seam pockets too because...pockets! The fabric is from deep stash and originally purchased at the Philips Shirt Factory sale in the city maybe 10 years ago?! It was a dream to sew with! I used about 5m because it was only 90cm wide. I'm loving the result and hopefully the weather plays nice and I get another chance to wear it before it turns cold. The dipped waist makes it really comfortable to wear with room for a big lunch! #schlucca #sewmelbourne #sewmelbournegp #imakemyownclothes
