- 3 eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 90g plain flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

Preparation:
Break up the cheese and crumble into a large bowl.

Pancakes are also a great British favourite, one of those dishes that ought to be simple to make, and yet which is also very easy to get wrong!

The jelly had splashed all over the curtain and when daughter arrived home she saw the bright red stain and was convinced I had been murdered.
Interestingly enough, she assumed Michael had totalled me rather than the other way round....
BIG MISTAKE!
Not quite sure what went wrong,but the sponge mixture ended up everywhere except in the tins!
Fortunately, the manufacturer’s claims that it was easy to clean turned out to be correct.
Subsequent sponges have earned me compliments from my very young grandchildren.
@Debbie - well done for allowing your French hosts to retain their innate feeling of culinary superiority over their British neighbours! I'm guessing your French, and cooking, have improved significantly since then...
@DRSask - how times have changed! Hopefully even your tin-can friend recognises fresh produce now?
Please keep these wonderful comments about culinary mishaps coming, to be in with a chance to win a copy of The Russian Heritage Cookbook AND a goody bag from Cook Club sponsor Emerald Waterways.
