it takes little time and can turn a
dull cake or plain dessert into
something delicious. Whipped
cream is a perfect accompaniment
to hot apple pie, fruit puddings
and tarts. The contrast of cold
cream with a hot pudding is
something special. Sandwich
homemade biscuits (see recipe,
page 16) with whipped Double
Cream, berries and a dab of ice
cream for an instant dessert

Pancakes are always popular,
especially for children’s supper –
and they can help make them.
Use a packet mix, or simply make
your own: break 2 small eggs into
a medium sized bowl, add 2
heaped tablespoons of flour, a
pinch of salt,140ml (¼ pint) milk,
2 tbsp sparkling mineral water, or
beer if you have some open.
Using the beaters at a medium
speed, mix it all together
thoroughly. Scrape down the sides
of the bowl and, on a fast speed,
beat to a smooth cream. Allow to
stand for at least half an hour
before making pancakes

recipes, which sounds daunting.
The beaters make easy work of
this. Test by lifting the beaters
slowly out of the mixture which,
when ready, will run off in a
ribbon-like consistency
