Pancakes, with lemon and sugar, the classic, less than 3p each
Try them, and see what you think.
This amount of flour made 5 in my 20cm frying pan
Pancakes, lemon and sugar
100g value flour, 45p/1.5kg, 3p
Oil to cook, 1 tbslp, 2p
200ml water
2 tbslp lemon juice, 50p/250ml Sainsbury, 6p
2 tblsp sugar, 88p/1kg, 20g, 3p
Whisk the flour and water together to make a smooth paste. Heat a frying pan and add a little oil, half a tsp. When the pan is hot, but not smoking, add a fifth of the batter. Cook until set and the underside has golden spots on it, flip over and do the other side. Put on a plate, and repeat with the other 4 pancakes, adding a tiny bit of oil when needed.
Sprinkle with sugar and about half a tsp of lemon juice for the classic pudding.
Variations
Other delectable fillings include Nutella (or here, of course, we would use the value jar) and banana
Dulce de leche and banana, maybe with a scoop of ice cream
Peanut butter and jam or banana, again, maybe with ice cream
A dollop of jam and a dollop of cream or ice cream
Any fruit compote with cream or ice cream, so maybe slices of apple fried in butter, with a sprinkle of cinnamon, or grapes gently cooked in butter, or early rhubarb, maybe with a spritz of orange zest
Then there are all the savoury options, have a look here at the post for Spinach Stuffed Pancakes, or Pancakes Stuffed with Carrots, Onions,Peas and Soft Cheese, both of which have lots of other suggestions. Or there is a whole post of 101 ways to fill a pancake

Take care of your family and your budget
Before putting together the meal planners, Lesley surveyed what was needed. Of the existing 14 budget meal plans, most are cheap meals for 2 people so can be sized up or down. Others are cheap family meals for 4 people, or meals for one
Ooh yes, that sounds an interesting combination
These sound like good quickie bread substitutes.
I always have whey left over from making yoghurt cheese…might be an interesting addition for all or part of the water…almost sour dough-ish.
will have to give it a try!
looks good, I think I may have some soya flour in the cupboard somewhere, and I def have (a very old!) pk of soya milk, so I’ll give them a go
Here’s my version of pancakes with no eggs which I’ve used for many years. I haven’t costed it out, the recipe won’t be as cheap as yours because I use a mixture of flours, but I thought I’d show you what I do :o)http://virtualhealthclub.com/pancakes-no-eggs
yes, of course, use any combination of milk, water and eggs that suits you
we’ll be having lemon and sugar ones too
What about milk/water 50/50? that seems like a good compromise to me
We shall be having pancakes tonight with lemon and sugar
