As the weekend is nearly upon us I thought I should share a variation on a recipe my housemate is currently obsessed with - if you haven’t already come across one allow me to introduce the Dutch Baby. It is basically a cross between a pancake and a yorkshire pudding. We discovered it in Waitrose magazine around Easter and they have been kind enough to share the recipe online. The only change I would make is to swap the 65g of plain flour for spelt as I just find it's better for my slightly hit and miss stomach.
While it's lovely just as it is with a bit of maple syrup or the classic can’t-be-beaten combination of sugar and lemon I would really recommend going that little step further and topping with a generous scoop of frozen yoghurt - maybe with some sugar and lemon on top of that!!
The below recipe is something we always have the ingredients for in the house and it's great if you fancy a quick sweet treat that won’t leave you feeling overstuffed or reaffirming your intentions to eat better!
Easy Peasy Frozen Yoghurt
Half of a 500g tub of natural yogurt - we have Skyr in our fridge but literally anything unflavoured will work equally well
The same again of frozen berries - I used blueberries and raspberries because that’s what we keep in our freezer
Honey or coconut nectar to sweeten to taste - I’d start with a teaspoon
Squeeze of fresh lemon or lime
Put all the ingredients in a processor or use a stick blender and just blitz them up.
Once the mix is smooth have a quick taste and adjust for sweetness.
As mentioned above this is great on a Dutch Baby but makes an equally good sweet treat all one it's lonesome. As with a lot of my recipes it is more an idea to inspire you so feel free to swap in whatever fruit and sweetener you like, feel free to also add nuts, seeds, leftover breakfast bars - anything you fancy. If you’re going to add the latter I would wait until it's smooth then add your nuts and do a quick blitz so you get nice chunky bits in there too.
