Delicious breakfast - French Toast Crumpets

Picture credit www.djfoodie.com/OMM-French-Toast

This weekend whilst staying with friends in Brighton I had the most delicious breakfast. Apparently it is a family favourite so I thought I would share the recipe here!

Ingredients:
2 crumpets per person
1 egg per person
splash of milk
pinch cinnamon
dried chilli flakes
maple syrup
*optional smoked bacon (not for me I'm vegetarian!)*

Just like making eggy bread whisk up the eggs, milk with a pinch of dried chilli flakes and cinnamon. Soak the crumpets in the chilli egg mixture and then cook them for a few minutes on each side til golden. Serve with cooked smoked bacon or as is with a little drizzle of maple syrup.

Sooo good I want to eat them everyday!

I've been slowly decorating our rented house...here's a few little peeks

 Pretty baskets and plants in the kitchen

This framed card I bought from the shop in the Royal Exchange in Manchester

 This plant is growing well here

 My little sister Jen made this awesome pin board for our kitchen - poster is from my trip to Paris

 This is a poster I picked up at Oklahoma in Manchester in a lack Ikea frame

 Recycled wool throw from the gift shop at Tatton Park and a cushion I made from an old H&M dress

 Cards and wool on the old map chest I salvaged from a skip and painted cream

 Little birds everywhere! Painting behind is by Tom's Dad Paul Mills

 Old London transport posters from my Grandparents house

 Little metal duck! and Tinga tinga paintings from my trip to Tanzania live on the mantle

Stockport Vintage Village 13.04.14

I love my monthly trip to Stockport vintage village there are always lovely people, treasures to be found and delicious food to be eaten! This Sunday it was warm enough to get my bike out and ride to the fair :)

Stuart Thornley was there with his fantastical cakes! I wasn't brave enough to try the dippy egg cake but did have a hot cross bun cupcake and got some Rocky road with mini eggs to take home for Tom

 This stall had so many gorgeous vintage picnic sets gleaming away in the sun

 Love the pretty flasks and tins

 Think I like the blue one best

 I liked this little Swedish plate

Also spotted a box of old film reels from the Picturehouse in my home town of Bury St Edmunds!
