Dish of the Month December Cooking the recipes of Nigel Slater

Sue from A Little Bit of Heaven on a plate  and I have cooked Nigel Slaters the kitchen diaries II all year and here we are at the end of our journey.  It started as a way of making sure that we both got the most from this large repository of recipes which we feared might otherwise be neglected.  I have to announce that this is the last time we will be launching the linky for you to join in. 

Id like to thank all of you who have travelled the Nigel Slater journey with us, some hopping on and off the carousel, others who bought a season a ticket and rarely stepped off for a break. There will be a December round up and a final post where Sue and I will choose our Dish(es) of the Year and celebrate the fabulous recipes that you have all cooked up for this little blog challenge. 


My final hurrah, as 2013 draws near to its end, features one of my favourite things about Christmas - the leftovers!  Mincemeat Hot Cakes is a very simple recipe using lightly whipped egg whites to help, the flour, mincemeat and egg yolk mixture to rise.  I managed to whip them up in about 15 minutes from ingredient assembly to pan.

 
Nigel suggests serving the hot cakes with some leftover brandy butter, as I didnt have any I simply added a little butter to the warm hotcakes. They were really fruity, not as light as Scotch Pancakes more of a solid type of hotcake, very tasty though and the flavour of the spices in mincemeat really came through.
