CINNAMON ROLL PANCAKES

So, I didn’t eat these even though they smelled fabulous because I couldn’t bear to eat that much sugar for breakfast, but John tried them and assured me they are a 9. He says they are more like dessert. Anyway, Gavin found this recipe on Pinterest, so we gave them a try. I used my own buttermilk pancake recipe, which I have included below. Then, I used the cinnamon filling and cream cheese glaze recipe from the web address below.

The following pancake recipe came from my dad, and I have no idea where he got it. Oh, and I double it and it feeds our family perfectly:

Buttermilk Pancakes

1 cup flour

2 tsp. sugar

¾ tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

½ tsp. baking soda

1 ¼ cup buttermilk

2 egg yolks, slightly beaten

2 egg whites, stiffly beaten

2 tbs. melted butter, at room temperature.

In bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine buttermilk, baking soda and egg yolks. Mix lightly and add to dry ingredients. Mix until batter is barely smooth. Stir in butter. Gently fold in egg whites. Heat griddle to 350. Pour scant ¼ cup batter onto hot griddle.

Now for the Pinterest part . . .

CINNAMON FILLING

1/2 cup butter, melted

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

4 Tablespoons butter

2 ounces cream cheese I typically add more to my cinnamon roll glaze

1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Cinnamon filling recipe and cream cheese glaze recipe found at link below:

Essentially, you make the pancake batter as usual. Then, for the cinnamon filling, you melt the butter, add the brown sugar and cinnamon, and then throw it in a ziploc bag and put it in the fridge until it firms up a bit. Make the glaze and set aside. After you put the pancakes on the griddle (and make sure you don’t make them too big, like I did), you snip the top off the ziploc bag (don’t make the opening too big) and then start in the center of the pancake and make a swirl outward. You can see a picture at the link above. Then, flip them as usual, and put the glaze on top when they get off the griddle. Don’t overcook them, or the cinnamon filling will burn on the griddle. Just trust me on this one.

Sourdough, version 4, aka version Mel

By -

This is my personal favorite.—it is a combination of the sourdough recipe from Nancy Beykirch with the Tartine method. It is sour but the texture is also great. Leaven: 1/2 cup sourdough starter 1/2 cup water 2/3 cups bread flour Combine ingredients and let sit 12 hours. Then, combine the leaven (mine was about 290 grams) 860 grams white flour 100 grams wheat flour 700 grams water 22 grams salt You mix this then let it sit for 40 minutes. Then, you put it in a big bowl and let it rise for 5 hours. For the first 2-3 hours, turn in every 30 minutes where you pull the dough to the opposite side, rotate the bowl by 4ths, do the same thing. Then, you put it on a floured surface. This dough is sticky, so you might need a good deal of flour. divide and shape into 2 loaves, then let sit 30 minutes. Then, kind of reshape them and put them in a pot. Let them rise for 3 hours. Then, score them. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then lid off the dutch oven for the final 20 minutes.

Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread

  So, my Grandma Goodsell is the one who instilled a love of bread making in me. I owe a lot to her guidance when I was a kid. We finally tracked down her recipe after we thought it was lost all those years ago, and I made it yesterday. I give it a 9, but that’s probably a lot of nostalgia. Either way, it is a very, very solid bread recipe. I put my changes below in bold. Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread Mix 2 ½ T yeast and 1 T sugar in 1 C water, and let set for 10 minutes. I used instant yeast, so I decreased this to 5 tsp. of yeast 3 C milk 2 C water ½ C honey ½ C shortening 2 T salt 2 T molasses 5 ½ C whole wheat flour 7 ½ C white flour I also added 2 heaping spoonfuls of wheat gluten Combine milk, honey, shortening, salt, and molasses in a saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Stir in 2 Cups cold water and combine with yeast mixture. Pour mixture into mixing bowl and add flours one cup at a time alternating between white and wheat (1 C white, 1 C wheat, 1 C white, ...

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

Oh, how I love me a pressure cooker that cuts down on dishes and produces the exact same results. This is good because it's pasta and meatballs. I would have to really be coerced to make it any other way again because this is just SO easy. My one complaint is that it was very rich in tomato flavor because it calls for twice as much sauce as when I make it the traditional way. I think I might increase the water and use less sauce next time. Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey I just did my own meatballs already premade 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, finely minced) I just did my own meatballs already premade Salt and pepper 16 ounces uncooked spaghetti noodles (see note) I think our spaghetti is almost 18 oz 1 teaspoon dried basil I used fresh 40 ounces jarred spaghetti/marinara sauce (see note) I did 2 Trader Joe's vodka sauces that are 25 oz. each 3 1/2 cups water Freshly grated Parmesan and ...
