Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

"This is a great recipe that I found in my Grandma's recipe book. Judging from the weathered look of this recipe card, this was a family favorite."
Original recipe yield: 4 servings

PREP TIME 5 Min
COOK TIME 15 Min
READY IN 20 Min

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted ( = 45 gr )

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Answer 3

A quiche would be the easiest as the crust and other ingredients can be prepared in advance. Just whip up some eggs in the morning, mix with the ham, onions, cheese etc etc. Pour, bake and serve.
But when it comes to the ultimate egg dish, there is no other than eggs benedict. Soft poached eggs, canadian bacon smothered in hollandiase sauce. I like it served on croissant instead of english muffins.

Answer 4

make your own version of a tortilla paisana -- its a spanish "country" omlette with all the stuff cooked inside the omlette. you serve it out flat so it looks like of like an egg pie. For sausage spanish chorizo works best but you could use turkey italian sausage or something like that

6 eggs, scrambled
1 onion sliced thin
2 potatoes peeled and sliced thin
1 red bell pepper sliced thin
4-6 oz french cut greenbeans
1/2 lb sausage cooked -- 1/2 minced fine and 1/2 cut into long thin vertical slices for garnish.


in a large non stick fry pan put in the vegetables and minced sausage. stir fry til lightly browned. add the eggs and cook for about 3-4 mins -- you don't want to burn the eggs. slide this out on a large plate. put the pan over the top of the tortilla and turn it all upside down and cook for 3-4 more minutes. slide it out on a serving plate and arrange the left over sausage on top in a circle. these make 4 good servings and are best at room temperature.

I usually serve this with toast with crushed tomatoes on it -- its a lot better than it sounds -- think crude pizza or bruschetta. For thankgiving you could do toast points with some stewed mushrooms maybe?? with some sangria es perfecto!

oh -- could i recommend serving your french toast with spiced apples and raisins instead of just an apple glaze?

The best part is, you can do this overnight! Use your imagination when making this recipe. Try Canadian bacon instead of ham. Use Havarti or Swiss cheese instead of Cheddar. Add some minced jalapeno peppers if you like hot foods. Then enjoy!

Answer 7

You have such a wonderful breakfast/brunch planned, but if you want something "eggy", you could try something simple like a basic cheese omlette. They are quick, tasty and can be made in a variety of sizes (1 egg, 2 egg and so on). With everything else you are serving, you don't want a complicated egg dish on top of that and besides, the french toast will be dipped in an egg wash.

Answer 8

Find a basic quiche recipe and throw in ingredients that you like. Quiche is very versitile. Try roasted red peppers, asparagus, chicken, applewood smoked bacon, carmelized onions, any kind of cheese you like. You could do an Eggs Benedict Quiche and drizzle Hollandaise Sauce over the pieces...yum!

Answer 9

There's a delicious French recipe that Ina Garten makes. You heat cream in a shallow dish in the oven on high. With the cream, add fresh thyme, salt, pepper, and parmesan. When its boiling, add the eggs, whole, and put parmesan on top. Poach until desired doneness. Very rich, but delicious. You may be able to google the recipe.

2 2/3 c All-purpose flour
1 1/4 ts Salt
1 c Shortening

3. Roll trimmings and remaining pastry 1/8-ich thick. With floured 1/2 inch round canape cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Moisten edge of pastry rim with water; place rounds on edge, overlapping slightly; press with fingertips. Reroll trimmings and cut more rounds if necessary.
4. In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, until blended, scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Beat in milk and next 5 ingredients.
5. Preheat oven to 375 F. Sprinkle shredded cheeses evenly over bottom of pie crust; pout egg mixture over cheeses. If you like, arrange fresh chives on top to make a pretty design. Bake 45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
