Pancake Syrup

One Saturday morning hubby made pancakes & we realized after he made the pancakes that there was very little syrup left, so I looked in my cookbooks to see if we had ingredients to make some. And I found a recipe we liked & I've been using it ever since.

1 C white sugar
1 C brown sugar
1 C corn syrup or molasses
2 C water
1 tsp vanilla or maple flavoring

Mix and simmer for about 5 minutes. I store mine in the refrigerator.

Cinnamon Roll Cake

This is a fabulous recipe I found on Pinterest. It is as wonderful as all the reviews/comments claim it to be. :) And it is VERY easy to make. Here is the link-www.cookinupnorth.blogspot.com/2011/07/cinnamon-roll-cake.html

Ham & Cheese Omelet Roll

I got this recipe from my friend Elaine & it is delicious!

4 oz. cream cheese, softened
3/4 C milk
2 T flour
1/4 tsp salt
12 eggs, blended
2 T dijon mustard
2 1/4 C shredded cheese, divided
2 C finely chopped ham, or use fried bacon

Line a 15x10 in. pan with parchment paper. Press in bottom of pan & up sides, pinch corners to prevent egg mix from going under paper. Grease well. Beat cream cheese & milk until smooth. Add flour & salt; mix again. Add eggs, mix well. Pour egg mixture into bottom of pan. Bake 30-35 min. @ 375 degrees or until eggs are set & puffy. Remove omelet & spread with mustard; sprinkle with 1/2 of cheese, top with ham or bacon . Start at one short side and roll up jelly-roll fashion, removing paper as you roll. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top & bake 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 min. and then slice.

Wake-Up Casserole

I got this recipe from my friend, Elaine & it is a great quick & easy breakfast casserole. We also enjoyed it for supper one evening.

8 frozen hashbrown patties
4 C cheddar cheese, shredded
1 lb. cubed ham (I used chipped ham from the deli)
1/2 tsp. ground mustard
12 eggs
1 C milk
1/2 tsp. salt

Place hashbrown patties in a single layer in a greased 9 x 13 in. pan. Sprinkle with cheese and ham. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt and mustard. Pour over ham. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Uncover and bake 15 min. longer or until edges are golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

German Pancake

I got this recipe from my sister in law & it is quite different from most breakfast recipes I've had but it is very simple & tasty and we all liked it. I have a friend that likes to fill the pancake with fresh fruit instead of using the syrup, I haven't tried that but may do that since strawberries are in season now.

6 eggs
1 C milk
1 C flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 T butter, melted

Buttermilk Syrup:
1 1/2 C sugar
3/4 C buttermilk
1/2 C butter
2 T corn syrup
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar

In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour & salt; cover & process until smooth.
Pour the butter into an ungreased 13 in. x 9 in. baking dish; add the batter. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 20 min.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the first five syrup ingredients; bring to a boil. Boil for 7 min. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Dust pancake with confectioners' sugar; serve immediately with the syrup.
Yield: 8 servings (and about 2 cups syrup)
