Literally The Best Pancakes Ever

I love pancakes, but I've always struggled to find the perfect recipe: every one that I found was either too difficult (at this point I probably should inform you that I am a terrible cook) or it just didn't work out.


So when I finally found this fab recipe (love you Jamie) I thought I was dreaming: quick, easy and delicious!

These days I have a lot of free time though, so I thought I'd experiment with it a bit. I swapped semi-skimmed milk with almond milk, the pear with a banana, and added baking powder. The result was incredible!


Recipe:

1 cup flour
1 cup almond milk
1 egg
1 mashed banana
1 tsp baking powder
chocolate spread (to serve)

Pour all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
Put a pan on a medium heat and add a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, then once it's warm add the batter, a spoonful at a time. 
Cook each batch for 1 minute, then flip and cook for another minute (or until golden).
Serve with chocolate spread.

I love this recipe because I want my pancakes to be very fluffy and very thick, and I think the combination of banana and baking powder is perfect to achieve this result. But most of all, it is SO. EASY. Right?


[friendly reminder that I am NOT a cook or anything so apologies if this post is far from professional/accurate/useful for you. I JUST LOVE PANCAKES.]

All Black Everything: Céline Resort 2015

Céline is my favourite brand.
I love all their campaigns, all their fashion shows, and my pair of (black!) Céline sunglasses is one of my most cherished possessions.


Sure, the collection is not ALL about black, there are also looks with bold colours and accessories, but these two definitely own my heart. Black is my favourite colour (at least right now, and especially for clothing) and I guess this is what I would want my everyday outfits to look like.


Sharp tailoring and simplicity: this is why I love Céline so much, this is what I need right now. So thank you, Phoebe Philo, for reading my mind once again.

November 7th

Two months till I turn 24.
I don't even know how I feel about this.
