1 tsp Vecon vegetable stock
275ml skimmed milk
2 free-range eggs, beaten
vegetable oil for frying

Place flour in a mixing bowl, rub in Vecon. Beat in milk and eggs to form a batter and allow to stand for at least 10 minutes.
Heat oil in a heavy-based frying-pan. Pour in sufficient mix to cover the base of the pan.
Allow to lightly brown, then turn with a large flat spatula, or if you're feeling adventurous, with the flick of a wrist!

Curried Butternut Soup - Mon 16th Jan 2012
Make up 1.25 litres stock. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add 2 peeled and sliced onions and cook until soft. Add the chopped flesh of a 2 kg butternut squash (about 1.8 kg peeled weight) and 3 cloves of crushed garlic. Reduce the heat and cook, covered, for 10-12 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp mild curry powder, half of the stock and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Cook for a further 35-40 minutes. Add the remaining stock and bring to a simmer. Take off the heat and use a hand blender to blend until smooth. Add a swirl of creme fraiche before serving.
