Autumn Pancakes

Autumn Pancakes

This is a great alternative to regular ol' pancakes! Double the recipe and put half of the batter in the freezer for another time!

1/2 c. quick cooking oats
1 1/2 c. boiling water
1 1/2 c. flour (can use whole wheat also)
2 t. baking powder
1/8 t. salt
3 T. sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon
1 egg, beaten
1 c. milk
1 apple, cored, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 c. chopped walnuts
3 T. butter, melted

Place oats in small bowl. Pour boiling water over oats and let stand 5 minutes; set aside. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon in large bowl. Add oat mixture, egg, milk, apple, nuts and butter; mix well. Cook on a lightly greased skillet like regular pancakes. Enjoy with whatever yummy topping you like.

Biscuits and Gravy

I grew up eating this for breakfast in Tennessee. It is delicious and a real Southern treat for kids and husbands. We usually had the hot country sausage but you can use whatever suits your taste.

1- 12 ounce roll of bulk Pork Sausage
2 to 3 Tbs. flour (try 2 Tbs. first)
2 cups milk
Salt and Pepper to taste
Homemade or Frozen Biscuits, baked and kept warm

Fry sausage in a cast iron skillet. Remove sausage and leave drippings in pan. Add flour and mix with a whisk until incorporated. Add milk, salt and pepper. Whisk over medium heat until bubbly, thick (but not too thick) and lump free. Crumble sausage and add to gravy. Serve immediately over warm homemade biscuits split and patted with butter.
Note: If the gravy seems way too thick, just add a little more milk.

Breakfast Burritos

My husband loves breakfast burritos, but I've never been a huge fan. I came up with this simple and easy recipe that my whole family enjoys.


Ingredients:


1/2 package bacon
6-8 eggs
3 medium sized potatoes
Shredded cheese
Tortillas
Salsa


Cut bacon into pieces and cook in skillet over medium heat until fat renders. While bacon is cooking, peel and shred the potatoes. Rinse them off, then boil them in water for just a couple of minutes until they are pretty tender. Drain fat from pan, give the eggs a good stir in a bowl and add to bacon. Scramble the eggs. Remove eggs and bacon from skillet, drain potatoes and add to skillet. I add some seasoned salt and pepper to the potatoes and let them cook a little in the skillet. Add eggs and bacon back in and stir it all up. Warm up your tortillas, put on some of your egg/bacon/potato mixture, add shredded cheese and salsa to your tastes.


This recipe can easily be adjusted for more or less people. You could probably use frozen hash browns instead of doing your own potatoes, but I've never tried it. You can put this in the fridge for a few days and it reheats really well.

Buttermilk Syrup

So I thought I'd add this recipe to complement the one below. :) It's so yummy!!

1 Cup Butter
2 Cups buttermilk
2 Cups Sugar (I've always used white- but says you can use brown too... both would be yummy!)
2 Tbs light Karo Syrup
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla

Use a Large Saucepan (it will foam and grow) and bring the first four ingredients to a boil while stirring constantly. Boil for 7 minutes (still stirring). Remove from heat and add soda and vanilla (will puff up again).

*Note- Probably will want to half if for a small family
*Note 2- if you let it boil a few minutes longer, it will be thicker. Great on ice cream too!

Buttermilk pancakes

Once you make these, you won't want the mix anymore. Unless it's the Lehi Roller Mills Mix, I got that for Christmas and it was really good.

2 eggs, beaten
1/3 c oil
2 c buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 T sugar
1 1/2 c flour (you can use whole wheat, or 1/2 and 1/2!!)

Add everything in the above order and whisk just until smooth. Makes about 18 pancakes, so enough for a family of six.

French Toast Fingers

I am always looking for breakfast ideas. I found this on the Kraft Foods website.

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla

dash ground cinnamon

10 slices whole grain bread

2-1/2 cups fruit flavored sweetened rice cereal (like Fruity Pebbles)

Preheat the oven to 350. Beat eggs with milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Cut each slice of bread into 4 strips.

Dip bread strips into egg mixture, then dip into cereal turning to evenly coat. Place strips on cookie sheet.

Bake 20 min. or until golden brown.

Some of the kids wanted syrup, but they were great alone also.

Muffins, Muffins, Muffins

This is a great "base" muffin mix so that you can add your own favorite fruits, etc. They aren't too sweet and really satisfying!

2 c. all purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. sugar (add up to 1 cup if you like them SWEET)
1 egg
1 c. milk
1/4 c. vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. In a 2 cup measuring cup, mix the egg in with the milk. Pour milk mixture and oil into the flour mixture. Mix quickly and lightly with a fork until moistened..but do not beat. Batter may be lumpy. At this point add your favorite fruit or cinnamon & sugar for "coffee cake" muffins.

Pour into paper lined muffin tins. Usually I can squeeze out 14. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Store in ziplock bag or tight lid container to keep fresh.

To my muffins, to make "Lemon Blueberry" muffins, I added:

2 Tbl. lemon zest
2 capfuls of lemon juice (or fresh juice if you have it- add 1 1/2 tsp depending on how "zingy" you want it!)
1 cup of frozen blueberries

Then for the topping:
Glaze: 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar
Mix together until smooth and drizzle over warm muffins.

Bran Flax Muffins

(these are my absolutely favorite muffins! Actually the only ones I’ll eat!)
Mix together in a large bowl:
1 c. flour
½ c. whole wheat flour
¾ c. flaxseed meal (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
¾ c. oatbran
1 c. brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
Stir in:
2 tart apples, peeled and shredded
1 ½ c. carrots, shredded
½ c. raisins (opt)
1 c. nuts, chopped (opt)
Combine and Pour into dry ingredients:
¾ c. milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
Stir just until ingredients are moistened. Do not over mix!
Fill muffin cups ¾ full. Bake 350* for 15-20 min.

Applesauce Muffins

These are a family favorite. They are VERY easy to make and taste really good. You can freeze them, too. They are best warm, then make a little "hole" in the middle and add some butter. Happy eating!

Combine and mix well:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
Add:
1 stick of margarine or butter
1 ½ cups sugar
Blend mixture well.

Add:
2 eggs
Blend mixture well.

Add:
1 cup applesauce
Blend mixture well. It will be similar to the consistency of oatmeal, pretty thick.
Put approximately ¼ cup of mixture into baking cups and bake on 350 for 19 minutes only! Enjoy!

Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Biscuits

1 can of refrigerated biscuits
1 lb. bulk sausage, cooked, drained, and crumbled
1 c. shredded cheese; divided in half
6 eggs
1/4 c. milk

Flatten out biscuits and place inside greased muffin pans...each one will be shaped like a bowl. Add a scoop of sausage into each biscuit "bowl". Bake in oven according to biscuit package directions. Meanwhile, mix the eggs with 1/2 of the shredded cheese and milk. Scramble in a skillet until done. When the sausage and biscuits are done, scoop eggs into each stuffed biscuit. While they are still hot, top with the remaining cheese.

Crockpot Breakfast Casserole

Funny you should ask, Shally, because I've been meaning to post this recipe, but wasn't sure if anyone would be interested... We blessed our baby last week and our church got out early, so I made this for the after-church gathering at our house, and it turned out YUMMY - I got many, many compliments. ( I doubled the recipe, and it fed 12 or 15 or so...) And, the best thing is, you can make it at night, start cooking it when you go to bed, and it's ready when you wake up! Anyway, to the recipe....

Ingredients:
32 oz bag Southern Style hash browns (these are the little square kind - not the shredded ones)
1 lb bacon, fried, drained and torn or cut into pieces
1/2 C diced onion
3/4 lb cheddar cheese, diced
1 dozen eggs
1 C milk
1/2 tsp dry mustard
salt and pepper, to taste


Directions:
Layer frozen potatoes, bacon, onion and cheese in 2-3 layers. Finish with cheese.
Beat eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour on top.
Cook on low for 10-12 hours.

Yummy with salsa, Cholula, green Tabasco, or of course, good old ketchup!

3 Eggs
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. flour
