Eggfree Pancakes

As we haven't gone vegan yet, I'm still using dairy milk. I wanted to use up some of the soy yogurt I bought but didn't really care for. I want to try to use eggfree recipes when I can so this recipe is based on a vegan pancake recipe that I can't seem to find anymore. This one from foodgeeks is similar. We both liked them.

Eggfree Pancakes

3.75 dl flour (used 1.75 dl whole wheat, 2 dl white)
1½ tbsp baking powder
dash salt
4 dl milk (this time used 1 dl soy yogurt, 3dl fatfree milk) (could use part milk, part water)
2 tbsp oil

Mix dry together. Mix in wet. Oil frying pan and fry on each side until golden.
These are thick. Maybe try a bit more liquid next time?

Parsnip and Lentil Soup

I found a recipe for Parsnip, Potato and Lentil Soup over at vegan eating for one. I changed some of the ingredients and came up with my version. TS ate it quite slowly so I didn't ask him if I should keep the recipe because I liked it and want to make it again but he didn't seem to enjoy it too much. I think it might have been the spices because I haven't used turmeric and cumin together before. Actually I haven't used them very much at all.

Parsnip and Lentil Soup
1 celery stalk
1 medium carrot
1 medium – large parsnip
4 – 5 medium potatoes
2 dl brown lentils, well rinsed
1 litre water
¼ tsp each cinnamon and oregano
½ tsp each cumin, turmeric and parsley
1 tsp each olive oil and soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
½ tsp lemon juice

Peel (except celery) and dice all of the vegetables. Place vegetables in cold water and bring to a boil. Add lentils, oil and spices and reduce heat to a simmer. When lentils and potatoes are cooked, add lemon juice and serve.
