PANCAKES: A simple Delicious Recipe


If you want to give your family and friends a blessed breakfast surprise, try some home made pancakes. You’ll be amazed how simple and tasty they can be.

Pancakes

1 egg
1 cup self-raising flour (try the gluten-free version, if available)
2 Tablespoons oil (preferably olive or coconut oil)
1 Tablespoon sugar or honey
1 cup milk or plain Greek yogurt.
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla

1.     Beat the egg.

2.     Beat in the other ingredients until well mixed and smooth.

3.     If you want thinner pancakes, add more milk. For thicker, add less.

5.     Put 3 Tablespoons of batter into the fry pan. Let cook until bubbles form on the top an the edges are dry.

6.     Flip the pancake and cook the other side until it golden brown. You can dry them on a paper towel. Serve warm.

7.     Top with butter and:

A.   pure maple syrup,
B.    golden syrup,
C.    sugar and cinnamon, or,
D.   for a savoury treat, butter and Vegemite (or Marmite).

8.     If you need to keep the pancakes warm, put them on a plate into a 100 C oven (no higher or they will dry out).

9.     Makes 10-12 pancakes

Variations:

Buttermilk Pancakes: substitute 1 cup of buttermilk for milk.

Blueberry Pancakes: Add 1/2 cup of fresh or thawed blueberries

The Twelve-Day War of June 2025: Israel and Iran Have We Turned A Corner?

After years of debate, negotiations, threats and risks, the inevitable finally came: military action. Israel pre-emptively attacked Iran’s nuclear program while neutralising its nuclear scientists and top military men. There was the Six-Day War of June 1967; now we have the Twelve-Day War of June 2025. The combatants: Israel, Iran, and briefly, the United States. Despite all this, have we turned a corner? The state of war started in 1979 after the successful installation of a theocratic, fundamentalist, puritanical regime called the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Islamic Republic overthrew the Shah of Iran, the last sovereign of a monarchy which lasted 2,500 years since the days of Cyrus the Persian, who is prominently mentioned in the Bible. The Shah was replaced by a Shia Muslim cleric, called the Supreme Leader, who possesses broad executive powers, more than the elected Iranian President. The Supreme Leader is the most powerful person in the country. From Day One, Iran announced its...

Operation Epic Fury: Was the War between Iran and the US / Israel Inevitable?

It was the Sabbath morning in Israel when the air raid sirens were activated, beckoning the population to their closest bomb shelter. War had broken ou between Israel and its archenemy, Iran. Operation Epic Fury (US name) had begun. And for the first time, Israel was not fighting alone but alongside itsgreat ally, the United States. Comparisons have been frequently made between Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Sir Winston Churchill with US Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Donald J. Trump. If the current leadership wins its war as World War II leaders won theirs, the comparison will hold. Operation Epic Fury was meticulously designed and flawlessly executed, using multi-domain warfare (cyber, outer space, and AI). With the failure of negotiations, Israel and the US sincerely believed that Iran was a growing threat, so they swung into action. Israel sent out two hundred flights, and each plane had two targets each. In amazingly swift speed, the allies sank Iran’s navy a...

FALL FROM GRACE: WHAT’S NEXT FOR EX-PRINCE ANDREW?

It was like a nuclear explosion. First is the impact, then the mushroom cloud, followed by the fallout. For the first time in the 1,000-year history of the British monarchy, a close member of the royal family was arrested for alleged criminal conduct. Where it is going and how it will end is anyone’s guess.   Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (AMW), previously known as Prince Andrew, was arrested on 19 February for possible ‘misconduct in public office’. This stems from his past relationship with disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. As of yet, Andrew has not been charged with any crime, but neither has he been cleared either. Multiple police investigations are underway. Born into immense wealth and privilege, until last year, Andrew had known only royal life. Yet on the day of his arrest, 19 February 2026, he was treated like a common man. Pronounced under arrest, his two residences - Royal Lodge (Windsor) and Wood Farm (Sandringham) - were searched, and all electr...
