Make Jamie Oliver's fluffy flourless pancakes for the Bank Holiday in just 10 minutes
If you're looking for a delicious breakfast recipe to whip up over the August Bank Holiday Weekend then look no further - and this pancake recipe is 'not too tricky' to make With the August Bank Holiday fast approaching, it's safe to say brunch is on the cards for many Brits eager to make the absolute most of their extended weekend. If you're entertaining at home rather than venturing out, then here's a scrumptious and speedy breakfast recipe that any visitor would adore. Jamie Oliver's fluffy flourless pancakes require just 10 minutes to prepare and are classified as "not too tricky" by the celebrity chef. According to instructions given by TV chef Jamie, this recipe produces two portions, but you can adjust it as needed, should you end up with any additional guests. It comes after a writer claimed 'I tried butter from Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and big brands - and the winner is not Lurpak'. Publishing the recipe on his official website, Jamie explained: "These simple breakfast pancakes can be made without flour - throw the ingredients in a blender, whiz it up and fry in a pan for breakfast in no time. Easy!" Ingredients 100g porridge oats 100g cottage cheese Two large free-range eggs One tsp baking powder Olive oil or unsalted butter, for frying Topping options One avocado Two free-range eggs Chilli sauce Method Mix the oats, cottage cheese, two eggs, and baking powder in a blender. Whizz until smooth, incorporating a tiny pinch of sea salt and a splash of water if the mixture appears too thick. Warm a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat with a small quantity of oil or a small knob of butter, reports the Express. Spoon dollops of the batter into the pan, preparing in batches if required. Cook each side for approximately two minutes, or until golden brown. If preferred, serve the pancakes garnished with sliced avocado, a fried egg, and chilli sauce, or personalise with your favourite toppings. Finally, sit down, enjoy, and relax—preferably outside in the garden if the sun comes out. Looking ahead to the weekend forecast, the Met Office predicts both misery and sunshine, depending on where you live. Some parts of the country will be basking in glorious weather, while others may face the knock-on effects of a hurricane currently blowing across the US. The national forecaster said: "High pressure is likely to be the dominant feature at first bringing widely fine and dry weather whilst a generally northerly flow leads to rather cool conditions. "This will be increasingly eroded from the west as frontal systems start to move in from the Atlantic through the weekend, leading to more changeable conditions. "Whilst this is happening, a deep area of low pressure is likely to develop in the North Atlantic, linked to Hurricane Erin. This likely progresses towards the UK through the early part of the week. The changeable period will likely continue through the last week of August, especially in the north and west, with a small chance of widely wetter and windier weather developing. The evolution of this is highly uncertain, though."

I went to Lidl early in the morning and paid £3 for 115 items of food
I went to Lidl early in the morning and paid £3 for 115 items of food Food shopping is a necessary expense, and we're all on the hunt for ways to save a few quid where possible. I bagged around £20 worth of food for £3 (Image: Ray Bonsall/Liverpool ECHO ) Food shopping is an essential outgoing, and we're all searching for methods to trim a few pounds wherever feasible. From preparing shopping lists to being tactical about your choice of retailer, there are numerous approaches to maintain control over your weekly grocery expenses. Constantly seeking out excellent value, astute shopping correspondent Ray Bonsall was delighted to learn that Lidl provides a container of mixed fruit and vegetables for merely £1.50. These containers supply an assortment of 'too good to waste' produce at a substantially reduced cost. Ray explained: "Always on the lookout for a good bargain, I was excited to learn that Lidl sells a box of mixed fruit and vegetables for just £1.50. The boxes offer a selection of 'too good to waste' items for a much cheaper price, reported the Liverpool Echo. "I've tried my luck with other anti-food waste schemes before, including the Too Good To Go app, which allows shops, cafes and restaurants to sell surplus food for a much lower price. I've generally found them to be generous and well worth the cost, so I was keen to give Lidl's box a try." She added, "I set my alarm bright and early for 7 a.m., keen to avoid the boxes selling out. I arrived at the Lidl on Lime Street at 8:30 a.m. However, a friendly colleague told me to come back in 45 minutes as they were still preparing the fruit and veg. I was surprised that there didn't seem to be anyone else waiting around for the boxes." I set my alarm bright and early for 7am to get myself a box of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50 (Image: Ray Bonsall) Article continues below Ray was taken aback to find no one else waiting for the boxes. While she waited, she decided to try her luck at the Lidl on London Road, but was told there were no boxes available. A staff member clarified that while the boxes are typically available daily, they had a large stock assessment the previous day, selling around 20 boxes, meaning they didn't have any surplus stock today. However, he noted that most days boxes go on sale at around 8:30am. Ray continued, "I went back to Lime Street, and at around 9:15am, the boxes were ready. They hadn't been put out but I asked a colleague who brought two out for me having remembered that I'd been by earlier on. It seems it's worth double checking with staff if you can't see any displayed. "I bought two boxes, which were £1.50 each, bringing my total shop to £3. It seems it's worth having a word with staff if you can't see any on display. I purchased two boxes at £1.50 each, bringing my total spend to £3. "When the boxes arrived, I was overwhelmed by how much was inside. I could barely carry the two boxes, which were overflowing with a wide variety of fruit and vegetables from apples to aubergines. The amount of fruit and vegetables I got from for £3 from two of Lidl's 'Too Good to Waste' boxes (Image: Ray Bonsall/Liverpool ECHO ) "Taking a closer look at the produce, all of the items were still fresh, and most had a good few days left in them. A few items, like some of the peppers and the courgettes, were smaller than normal shelf stock, and the aubergine was on the riper side." Ray observed that the carrots were also on the smaller side, and some had taken a bit of a battering, but they remained completely fresh and perfect for cooking. The remaining produce was exactly what you'd anticipate from any standard fruit and vegetable retailer. Several of the peppers were enormous. The apples and even the bananas were spotless and ideally ripe. Here's everything I received in each box: Box 1 Four bananas Six red apples One aubergine One small courgette One celery Three large bell peppers (red, orange and yellow) Approximately 20 small potatoes Approximately 20 small carrots Box 2 Five bananas Six green apples One aubergine One courgette Five peppers (mixed sizes) One celery Approximately 20 potatoes (mixed sizes) Approximately 20 small carrots A generous handful of green chillies The peppers varied in size but were still great value (Image: Ray Bonsall/Liverpool ECHO ) Using Tesco's website, she worked out that buying the identical items in the first box would have cost her around £8.01. The second box would have totalled roughly £11.84. Therefore, for just £3, she managed to secure nearly £20 worth of shopping. Article continues below Ray concluded: "This doesn't take into account some of the smaller sizes, however, I still walked away feeling like I had secured a great amount of food for what I spent. Anything I don't use in the next few days I'll stick in the freezer. "It's also a great way of encouraging people not to dismiss food just because it is doesn't look the biggest or shiniest. A small pepper is still a pepper after all. It also saves endless thinking about what to eat and for the next week my meal planning will be dictated by what's in the box - so far aubergine curry, baked potatoes, potato salad, fried courgette spaghetti and carrot soup spring to mind."
