German Pancakes

This is, quite possibly, Jason's favorite breakfast. He can eat a whole pan by himself, and that's saying something because he's not a big eater. This is the recipe I use, and so far it has been my favorite.

German Pancakes:

Ingredients:
6 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt (you can do more or less depending on your taste)
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup flour
6 Tbs. butter (about 2/3 of a cube of butter)
Syrup and/or Honey

Directions:
Put butter in a baking dish (for this amount of batter, I like to use an 8x11 size dish). Preheat oven to 475 degrees, and put the butter right in (don't wait for it to heat up to 450 before you do this). Check on the butter every few minutes to make sure it doesn't start burning. In a blender, crack the 6 eggs, and add the flour, milk, and salt; mix well. Pull the butter out of the oven and pour the batter into the dish, then place back in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until puffy and browned well.

We like our syrup hot, so we heat that up and drown our pancakes. I actually like to pour a little honey and syrup on mine (it's simply divine!). These are great for breakfast and dinner (and sometimes lunch!), though usually not in the same day :)

Chocolate Chip Cookies

You know that elusive, best-ever, chocolate chip cookie recipe?  Yeah I don't know where that is because everyone has a different idea of what the best cookie is.  And that's okay!  Variety is the spice of life.  If you don't love what I love, that's fine! I'll judge and think you're crazy, but we will both survive.  You'll go on loving gross cookies, and I'll go on loving the good stuff.  And we will both, somehow, be happy with that.  If you ever want to try the good stuff, it'll be right here for you.  And so will I.  Maybe.  I'm not as forgiving as these best-ever chocolate chip cookies.... INGREDIENTS: 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. kosher salt 3 sticks (or 1 1/2 cups) butter, softened 1 cup granulated suger 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed 2 eggs 1 Tbs vanilla extract 1 cup dark chocolate chips 1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips DIRECTIONS: 1) Preheat oven to 350/375 F.  (My oven coo

Pour 1/2 of batter into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Melt caramels, milk and butter. Pour over baked cake. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Spread with remaining cake batter. Bake at 250 degrees for 20 minutes. Increase oven to 300 degrees and bake an additional 10 minutes. When cool, prepare frosting; Beat together shortening, powdered sugar, vanilla and butter flavoring. Stir in enough milk to reach desired consistency. Stir in chocolate chips.

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

            If you read my previous post, you "heard" me drool over this recipe in the middle of getting to another recipe.  Yeah, when I mentioned pumpkin it made me think of this coffee cake again, and I couldn't help the dribble of drool that escaped out of the corner of my mouth.  Sorry for the details there...                                         Anyway, this is a great use for any pumpkin puree you have, whether it's opened already or not.  It's seriously good.  My daughter even made the semi-blasphemous statement that we should probably just replace pumpkin pie with this cake at thanksgiving this year!  That's going pretty far of course, because you know....TRADITION! TRADITION! (Fiddler on the Roof anyone?). But she's right that it is that good.        You should give it a shot.  If you don't replace generations-old traditions with it, that's okay, but you should consider making it a tradition to have this coffee cake at some point every
