Belgian Waffles with Berry Cream

Posted on by

WafflesI am not a breakfast eater. For one thing I am just not hungry first thing in the morning, secondly I am usually tired and really don’t feel like cooking up something delicious. So I just pour myself a large glass of chocolate milk and sip away while I check Facebook, write my morning blog post. Then sometimes I am craving breakfast food, so I have to make it for dinner. My breakfast eating family doesn’t mind though as I don’t usually cook them breakfast either, I will just make them toast, cereal or a bowl of porridge. Waffles are a rarity in the morning, but a welcome treat at night.

Recipe from Betty Crocker Comfort Food

Buttermilk Pancakes

Posted on by

Breakfast for dinnerAlright a few things about this pancake recipe 1. These are probably going to be the best pancakes you have ever eaten 2. This pancake recipe takes a bit more work than the usual pancake recipe with the beating of the egg whites, folding them in and whatnot 3. This recipe is large, it fed my family of 5 two meals 4. I have learnt through my kitchen adventures that pretty much anything that calls for buttermilk as one of the ingredients is going to turn into a family favorite. So with all that being said here is the recipe that I got in the cook book Company’s Coming Cooking at Home.

  • 3 cups all-purpose flourready to flip
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 6 (large) egg yolks
  • 3 1/3 cups buttermilk
  • 6 tbsp. melted butter or margarine
  • 6 (large) egg whites
  • Oil for pan
  • Syrup

1. Mix dry ingredients in large bowl, make a well.

2. Beat together the egg yolks, melted butter and buttermilk. Pour into well and gently stir until just mixed.

3. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold into pancake mixture.

4. Heat oil in large fry pan and scoop in about 1/4 cup of batter. When bubbles form flip until second side is lightly browned.

5. Serve with syrup.

6. Eat and enjoy!
