Cinnamon Apple Pancakes
This might not justify posting an entire recipe if it weren’t for the fact that it was AMAZING. It’s mostly a variation on Mom’s original pancake recipe, but it’s more than the sum of its parts, and is perfect for fall weather. They turn out really fluffy- you can make them with normal milk, but […]
Æbleskiver
As a kid I loved day trips to the tourist-trap known as Solvang, for one big reason: æbleskiver! These Danish goodies are little eggy puffs of air, made in a specialized cast-iron pan. Lucky me, Alex got me just such a pan! This dough would also make fantastic pancakes or waffles if you don’t have […]
Cottage Cheese Pancakes
These are delicious and a nice break from flour-based pancakes. I have noticed a nice assortment of organic and high-quality brands of cottage cheese at the coop, and had sort of forgotten about keeping it on hand. A couple spoonfuls are a great pick-me-up in the afternoon or before dinner is ready. This recipe was […]
Crumpets!
I’ve always been a big fan of crumpets, and so I spent a few days looking around online for recipes. Someone else appears to have done the same, and this recipe is based on hers but is hopefully a bit clearer. It might be worth noting that I also halved her recipe. Due to the […]
Eggs-in-a-Basket
Note: Alex had titled this “Toad-in-the-Hole”, which refers to another dish entirely. Discussion is in the comments. This is a fun recipe (technique really) that I picked up from Melanie. She also calls it “Bullseyes” – it has a ton of names – Wikipedia lists it as “Eggs in the basket” among many, many others. […]
Omelet Fillings
So I was making omelets the other day, and I was thinking it might be fun to have a list of interesting omelet fillings, for those days when you want to try something new. Since I can’t figure out how to let us all edit this post, we should add more ideas in the comments. […]
Migas
A standard of Tex-Mex cuisine, migas are a great way to use up old, stale corn tortillas. The ingredients are mostly up to you, but this is sort of the standard: Old corn tortillas, cut into squaresOnion, mincedBell peppers, diced (this is optional, but I like it)Jalapenos (if you don’t like this too hot, use […]
Mmmmm…cookie dough!
Had a hankering the other day for some cookies. Since I am wheat intolerant, I can’t just reach up into the cupboard and raid Jeff’s, so it takes some thought and planning. I found a recipe in the King Arthur Flour Cookbook that makes enough for 3 batches of refrigerated dough. I substituted spelt flour […]
Kringlor or Danish Puffs
This evoked an OMFG from a complete stranger – it is mouth-wateringly delicious, and not too sweet for breakfast. (I have considered making it again with a thin layer of apricot preserves between the layers) Lifted directly from Prairie Home Cooking, a must have cookbook. Preheat oven to 375. 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter3 […]
