♥ Syn Free Pancake ♥
So yummy & really tastes like your having something naughty to eat.

2 Eggs
Sweetener
Vanilla Essence
Toppings of your choice (I choose banana, strawberries & 1 tsp of honey for 1 syn)

Separate the eggs into two bowls - white and yolk.
Whisk the white and add 3 tsp sweetner (or to taste), whisking til white and meringue-ish
Add some vanilla essence to the yolk.
Add the yolk to the white and fold together - this is your batter.
frylight a pan and add all of the batter, spreading it gently with the back of a spoon.

leave pancakes alone until you can slide a fishslice underneath and flip over, then when other side is cooked turn pancakes from pan onto plate.
Top with your favourite toppings and serve!
Makes a great dessert or snack!

Good thread Pebbles

Hi sausage yes, found this recipe on minimins and they were having a debate about it but yes I believe it's being sinned again. I'll change it once they decide

 

[Kia-Ora]

Hi pebbles, looks fantastic! Shall be trying some out

 

[louisedan]

dont need to use puree for the tomato ketchup
1tsp lazy garlic
2tsp cinammon
2 tsp mustard powder
2 tsp white pepper
4tbsp sweetener powder
255ml red wine vinegar
1 tbsp lee and perrins worcs sauce
2 large cans tomatoes
salt to season
can add like chilli powder if you want a bit of a kick for hot dogs etc but this makes at least a medium squeezy bottle full and I prefer the more traditional one.

Place all ingredients in saucepan and cook for about 40 mins.Allow to cool.put in food processor/liquidiser and blend until smooth.Sieve into bowl(doesn't take long). Put in jar/old ketchup squeezy bottle. I put it in dishwasher first to steralize it. Keep in fridge-last lot I made lasted over a month.

then the remaining half i added flaked salmon fillet with broccoli. they are both yummy and have cut them up into pieces for tomorrows lunches.

then set to on making tea. OH has been craving a mixed grill so he won the vote.

banoffee pie sw stylie

pudding was my take on banofffee pie. i took a weight watchers biscuit (2syns) and crumbled half of it into a glass then mixed a butterscotch sugar free angel delight (4.5 for a serving, 4 servings per pack) then sliced some banana on top and sprinkled with the remaining half a biscuit. it was 6.5 syns but it was lovely and made a real treat. i had made a syrup sponge and custard for the kids so it was nice to sit and eat something sweet and nice rather than a coffee or a muller.




tofu chocolate pudding
and dont be put off by the tofu - it works i promise.
so 1 box of silken tofu which is usually found near tins of lentils beans etc or if you cant get it, try it with the chilled version.
mix it with 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder or options and 2 teaspoons of sweetner. then mix with a blender to get a really silky smooth finish. must be blended or its not right.

there are lots of threads on here about the pudding and the only syns are what you add to the tofu. some have added orange essence to get a terrys choc orange fix, so if you like it, its worth a search to see what else you can do with it. there is also a peanut butter tart on here which i like the sound of too. so i may make that this weekend.
i dare you to hate it!
sorry no picture- it didnt last long enough to warm up the flash. lol.

syn free bbq sauce

1 chopped onion,
half teaspoon chilli powder
227ml passata
3 tbsp sweetner
4tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
half teaspoon mustard powder
fry light the onions and chilli for 5 mins, stir in other ingredients and simmer for 10 mins. freezer friendly.

i used the original recipe of 1 tsp of chilli powder but my god it blew my socks off and ruined the taste of the sauce, so i added a whole carton of passata to tone it down and it still was too overpowering. so i have cut the recipe to half tsp. i suggest you try half then taste it and adjust if you need to.


yummy baa steaks
i bought 2 lamb steaks which were reduced from £4.20 to £2, and put a teaspoon of mint sauce over them, some rosemary and sprayed them with a little fry light into a dish. next to them i put 2 large flat cap mushrooms with a dollop of garlic and herb philadelphia and then a small handful of kerry low low grated cheese on top.(1hea) popped all into oven for 20 mins or so. i then made my super duper extra special and very famous cauliflower cheese (1/2 syn for the flour in the sauce). with green beans and syn free gravy

kankles heres the pizza my lovely.



it was really nice.
sw syn free pizza (green day)
i used;
a packet of mr mash
garlic granules
parmesan (14g)
toppings of choice

i mixed the mr mash with some boiling water, i just kept adding a little at a time to make a dough.
then i added some garlic granules and half a portion of parmesan cheese. then sprayed a pizza dish with fry light and pressed it into the dish as thin as possible, then rolled it to smooth it down.
popped it into the oven and baked it for about 15 mins until it was golden brown, then it turned over onto the other side really easily and baked again.
when done i smeared some passata over it, then topped with oregano, sweetcorn, mushrooms, tomatoes, low low cheese (2 hex's), courgettes,and peppers.
baked until cheese was melted.
it was really nice - next time will use mozarella and pepperoni and sin the pepperoni. it cut easily into 8 pieces. you cant tell its smash, its like a crispy pastry.

give it a go. well worth it.

soup
4 sprays of frylight in the saucepan
1 onion, cook for a couple of mins
Add 2 sweet potatoes and 2 carrots
Season
Add mixed dried herbs
Sprinkle in some ground cumin
Pour in 1 pint of veg stock made with 2 veg oxo cubes
Bring to boil then simmer for 30 mins

When cool blitz with blender

Roll the potato in the couscous making sure everywhere is coated. The couscous will stick to the mash.

a cheeky little chicken and mushroom curry.
2 garlic cloves crushed,
2 onions chopped
2 handfuls mushrooms quartered
half red pepper, half green pepper (cos thats all i had.
1 tsp coriander/ cumin / paprika/ curry powder
tin of tomatoes,
1tsp sweetener
chicken stock cube with 250 ml water
chicken or prawns whatever you fancy i used 3 chicken breasts.
tsp curry paste if you have some, dont worry if not.

fry garlic and onion in fry light til soft, add spices then fry for a minute more, add mushrooms, peppers, then chicken. fry for 4-5 mins then add tomatoes and a tsp sweetener. i used a curry paste which is only 30 calories for a whole pack and what i used was negligible. add chicken stock cube and simmer for 20 mins. add some chopped coriander before serving.

lovely jubbly mrs bubbly.


would do it on a green day next time so we can have rice as i was still a little peckish after my bowl.






egg fried chicken rice,
i used a packet of savoury rice because id run out of basmati rice. cooked it in the rice cooker - dead simple then allowed it to cool.
heat pan with fry light and add 2 beaten eggs, allow to set then scrape them about with a spatula to break it up then add the savoury rice to the pan. add some bits of cooked chicken which you have split into shreds. ( i buy ready cooked chicken from iceland, 4 breasts for £3. stir fry til heated through.

sweet and sour chicken and veg.
this looks watery in the picture but it really wasnt.

i sliced the carrot on a grater and blanched it in hot water for 2 mins with half a red pepper. mix with spring onion chopped, then some chopped into chunks chicken. (again i used ready cooked for quickness but if raw then stir fry for longer.) i added a sweet and sour mix in a packet from aldi with about 250ml water , i used half the pack at 80 cals then it served 2 of us so thats 41 cals (2 syns) simmer for 10 mins.
would be nice too with some pineapple added and some water chestnuts but i just didnt have them.

then the veg and noodle in oyster sauce.
chopped up an onion, some broccoli florets into bite sized pieces, mushrooms, green pepper, add to a frylight pan. add garlic granules, some soy sauce (dash dash dash) then 4 tablespoons of oyster sauce at (1.5syns) add 2 packs of stir fry noodles and stir fry for 5 mins.

this made easily 2 large portions and some left over



chicken tikka
made using 5 chicken thighs still with bone in but skin removed. i bought a tikka mix from the local asian minimarket and it was just a dried mix, so no syns. it asked for butter or ghee to be added which i didnt and it was still flipping gorgeous.
i had to add lemon juice of 2 lemons (which i dont use, i use the bottled lemon juice much better) garlic paste and ginger paste or lazy ginger whatever youve got. i used a tsp of each and 1/3 of the packet.
