Hey Melita, tried these out today for an indulgent lunch for my mum and I and.............. they are gorgeous! I did not have any yoghurt so I substituted with sour cream and they were lovely! Your getting a vote from me, so now I urge you to try out my recipe in this category "Fabulous Stuffed French Toast", If you like indulgent brekkies give it a go and let me know what you think of my recipe! Well done and good luck!

Melita

Hi Rebecca, thank you for your vote and comments.Buttermilk is another good substitute but is equally nice with just milk as long as the eggwhites is beaten.We love french toast so I will definitely check out your recipe.

Melita

My kids love their pancakes extra fluffy so I made some on Sunday and added more beaten eggwhites.

I'm not a pancake person, but after trying your pancakes...well...I think I just might have to change my mind. They are simply awesome!!! And I'm not necessarily the best cook in the world, either. So, all of you "wanna -be" cooks, give 'em a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Dang if I wasn't (surprised).

Melita

Thank you Bobbi for trying the recipe. Watch out! you might be indulging on this every weekend.
