Breakfast of Champions

Sundays are a lazy day at the house.  Most Sundays I get up and make breakfast.  Sunday morning breakfast is usually includes pancakes or French toast.  It always includes bacon.  Mmmmmm.....bacon.  I found the best recipe for pancakes.  It is easy to follow and makes really fluffy pancakes.  Some times I add chocolate chips, it would be good with bananas too.

Butter Milk Pancakes:
1 Cup Flour
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 Pinch Salt
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Baking Soda
2-3 Tbsp Bacon Grease
1 Egg
1 Cup Butter Milk


Mix all the dry ingredients together.  Separate the egg, mix the grease, buttermilk and egg yolk together.  Whip the egg white until frothy.  Add the liquid ingredients to the dry.  I usually let them sit for a little bit before folding in the egg white.  This seems to make the pancakes fluffier.  I usually just cook them in a non stick skillet.  

 French Toast is really easy.  I just mix about 6 eggs, half a cup of milk, a little sugar, and some vanilla together.  Sourdough or potato bread work well to make the toast.  The boyfriend and the cousin like to put powder sugar on theirs.  It would also be good with fruit.

Sunday morning breakfasts are fun and a great way to make a huge meal and have one day a week to kinda pig out.  :)  Enjoy!!  

Food and Blogging....

I'm starting a food blog.  Yeah I know there are a ton of them out there....but see I have all these pictures of food and all these ideas for food.  Might as well share them here.  I've been collecting pictures of different creations and also finding recipes that I have been trying.  This is the place where those pictures are going to go, along with information about where I got them.  I will also probably be sending out a newsletter every week or so with recipes and other information about cooking or baking, so feel free to sign up.
