Pancakes, with lemon and sugar, the classic, and SUPER cheap!
I couldn’t tell the difference between my usual ones, made with eggs and milk, and these. Costwise, these could be doable, where egg and milk ones weren’t. Pancakes with lemon and sugar – or there are lots of other lovely ways to enjoy them
Semi Freddo Red Berry Yogort, 26p a generous portion
Whizz the still very frozen fruit with the yogort until amalgamated. On tasting it was just a bit too sharp, so I added a couple of tblsps of sugar.
Fritters, Soup, Gloves and Karen Millen

We had pizza this evening, and I finally got to test some of the anchovy paste. I did the 2 big pizza mix and topped DP’s with HM tomato sauce, heavy on the onion, mushroom, pepper, sweetcorn and cheese.
