Syrup

If any of you have been to Magelby's Fresh in Utah you know this syrup. It is so so yummy. So easy to make as well. The second one is just a simple strawberry syrup. It's easy and quite tasty.

Buttermilk Syrup

1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk,

1/2 cup butter

2 tablespoons corn syrup

1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla

Place first five ingredients in large saucepan. bring to boil and cook for 7 minutes, or until it just starts to turn a carmel color. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Serve warm.

*Make sure you stir every few minutes to prevent scorching and use a BIG pan. The buttermilk is an acid and the baking soda is a base...you do the math. Sixth grade volcano science project is the outcome in a small pan. With a much bigger mess.

Strawberry Syrup:

2 C strawberries, puried and strained
1 C sugar(2 C if you like is sweet)
¼ C water
½ tsp lemon juice

Add everything to a pot. Boil for five minutes, stirring occassionally. Skim the top and serve over pancakes or waffles.

Muffins and Pancakes

I like breakfast, no I love breakfast! But the hubs, he'll take some ovaltine and if you're lucky a banana. So I have to make stuff my little guy likes, and cottage pancakes are the answer. Easy nutritious and goble-able. He eats them four at a time. Pretty good for a light weight.

The blueberry cornmeal pancakes are one of Ryan's favorite. Must be because he's a country boy, and they love cornmeal anything. I substitute the white flour in these for white wheat or wheat pastry flour.

As for the muffins, I halved Dori's recipe for the breakfast cake and made them into 24 mini muffins. They only needed to be cooked for 10 minutes. The muffins are also healthy, delicious and in the eyes of my todler, goble-able.

Cottage Pancakes

1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 egg whites or 2 eggs
Blend all ingredients in blender. Spray skillet with cooking spray and cook just like"silver dollar" pancakes, a few small ones at a time. Top with your favorite pancake topping!

Breakfast Crepes My Way

I love weekend breakfast, but I do not like to eat cinnamon rolls after my run. Ya feel me? So I made some wheat crepes with fruit and yogurt. If you are feeling a little more sinful use white flour and fill these babies with ice cream, fruit and chocolate syrup. I even like to do mine with ham, cheese and eggs sometimes.

Crepes:

1 cup all-purpose flour (I used wheat pastry flour)
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted

for sweet crepes add:
1 tsp vanilla and 2 ½ Tbs sugar

Throw everything in a blender and mix until smooth. Preheat pan for a few minutes. Pour 1/4-1/3 C batter on the pan and immediately spin pan to make a circle. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until color slightly changes. Flip and cook for about 30 more seconds. Serve with fruit and cream or ham and cheese.

Whole Wheat Pancakes

This recipe is authentically me. I made it up one day with no guidence. It is nothing unique in the world of pancakes but it is delicious, easy and nutritious. If you want a fluffier pancakes, beat the egg whites until stiff and fold in at the end. If you want, add a little vanilla to the batter to mix it up. My personal favorite is blueberries or chocolate chips.

Tammy’s Whole Wheat Pancakes:

2 C milk
2 eggs
1/3 C oil
