We love it as it’s a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken and make it stretch for another day.
Easy fluffy pancake recipe (with step-by-step instructions)
When it comes to making perfect, fluffy pancakes, simplicity is key. The taste team has tried so many different homemade pancakes recipes over the years, but if we had to pick one keeper to bookmark and go back to again and again, it has to be this one. This pancake batter is consistent, reliable and delicious. It results in fluffy golden pancakes every time, without fail. Originally uploaded to taste over a decade ago by one of our members, bdittmann88, I’ve retested this pancake batter and made minor tweaks over the years, but it really is one of the best homemade pancakes recipes I’ve come across. These fluffy homemade pancakes are thick without being dense, and you can dial the sugar up or down, depending on how you like them. It’s become one of our most popular taste recipes of all time, with so many reviewers declaring it the best homemade pancake recipe they’ve ever tried. And believe us, our community members are not new to cooking pancakes. So why is this the best (and easiest) homemade pancakes recipe you’ll try? Firstly, it’s so simple to make these delicious pancakes. You only need 5 basic ingredients (most of which you probably already have) and the pancake batter is ready in under 3 minutes. Secondly, the batter is on the thicker side. In fact, some of our taste reviewers actually think this is the point of difference to other recipes, because it makes consistently fluffier, airier pancakes that are easier to cook and soak up whatever you serve them with. And who doesn’t love fluffy pancakes with a golden brown hue?

Bechamel sauce, also known as white sauce, is the glue that sticks so many of our favourite comfort food dishes together. It’s hard to imagine, but without bechamel there would be no lasagne, chicken pot pie, mac and cheese or cauliflower gratin just to name a few! Who would have thought a sauce of only flour, butter and milk could generate so many recipes and such happiness? This recipe is your go-to, nitty-gritty basic sauce - and that’s just what you want! It teaches you the basics and when you have this recipe nailed, you’re free to start playing around - see below to find out how.
Don’t let the name deceive you: this ham and cheese quiche recipe is actually incredibly possible to make. Not all quiche recipes are created equal, and this impossible quiche recipe is simple, quick and full of nutritious, everyday ingredients. How does an impossible quiche work? What we love about impossible quiche is that it requires no puff pastry base or pie crust. You simply mix all the ingredients together, pour the egg mixture into the pie dish and et voila, during cooking a quiche with golden edges forms as if by magic. Making quiche needn’t be hard, when you have a classic quiche recipe on hand. For this reason, and the fact it needs only 10 minutes to prep and a handful of ingredients, this crustless quiche has easily become one of our favourite easy dinners, a brunch menu go-to, and best lunchbox fillers to make. What’s more, you can this dish ahead and freeze it for up to 2 months. What’s not to love about an easy quiche recipe with grated cheddar cheese, onion and diced ham? Yum. Serve hot and golden brown, or cooled as a leftover lunch with salad.
You had us at ‘garlic prawns,’ then we read ‘creamy’ (swoon) and, finally, we learnt this recipe takes only 10 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to cook, and we were head over heels. We love learning from our readers and this recipe from Taste reader ‘KRISSSY86’ has become a favourite of ours. When it comes to enticing kitchen aromas, garlic sizzling in a pool of butter is top tier, and these two ingredients form the base of this restaurant-quality, creamy garlic prawns recipe. Then, we elevate matters with a splash of floral white wine and a generous pour of cream. No hard-to-find ingredients are required here – just a handful of chopped, fresh parsley to give the dish a final boost. The ease of this creamy garlic prawns recipe makes it suitable for a midweek meal, served simply with steamed rice. And yet, its elegance steers it into dinner party territory, perhaps tossed with angel hair pasta to create an indulgent entrée. We know how much our home cooks adore our prawn starter recipes. And, just a couple of extra ingredients transforms this culinary concept into a creamy Tuscan garlic prawn recipe. Additional recipe notes by Alison Adams - Food Writer and Recipe Tester.

Australian banana bread recipe (with video)
With more than 800 reviews, our best banana bread recipe is taste.com.au’s most popular, beating out more than 100 contenders.
I believe the secret lies in its simplicity and letting a few ingredients do the heavy lifting. While it’s easy to make banana bread, I think a few simple tricks and a little know-how can go a long way toward making the best version possible.
Originally created by Kerrie Sun, this much-loved recipe has been tried and tested (and re-tested!) to perfection over the years. Having made some small tweaks here and there, (I’ll bake as many banana breads as necessary in the name of ‘research’!) I think it’s hit its peak. This really is the perfect, foolproof banana bread (if I do say so myself). I have a strong inkling it’ll become your new favourite banana bread recipe too. So use up those mashed bananas to create moist banana bread!
