German Pancakes

I'm not sure when I started making German Pancakes, but I know why I did.  David's heritage is Swedish.  His mother is 1/2 Swedish and he is 1/4 Swedish, so he brought Swedish pancakes into our family.  Everyone loves them, but sometimes we want to switch it up a bit.  I have English and German heritage, so when I saw a recipe for German pancakes, I decided to give them a try and everyone loved them!




Ingredients:

1 1/3 C. Flour (fluff it with a whisk)

2 C. Milk

4 eggs

1 tsp. Vanilla

2 Tbs. Sugar

1/4 C. Salted butter

1 lemon

Powdered Sugar


Instructions:

Cube butter into a class baking dish (9x12)

Put dish inside oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees

Add flour to your mixing bowl and whisk it, then add milk and combine.  

Add eggs, vanilla, and sugar and combine.

Once butter is melted in the baking dish, pour batter into dish and put it back in the oven.  Make sure not to burn the butter!  

Bake for 20-30 min.  (my oven is hot and finishes in about 20 min.)  The edges of the batter will crawl up the sides of the dish and start to get brown on top.  You want to pull the pancakes when the top is brown and the center is set.  Make sure the rack in your oven in in the lower middle section so the batter has room to climb before getting burned. 

Serve with lemon juice and powdered sugar!  You can also eat them with syrup, whip cream and strawberries.

Salmon Tacos with Cilantro Lime Dressing

Image
 I love Mexican food.  I'm pretty sure if I had to choose one cuisine to eat for the rest of my life it would be Mexican.  These tacos were born from necessity and my love of tacos.  My family has downsized from 6 people to 4 people as my oldest children have moved out to go to college. When I make a whole Costco Salmon, I now have enough leftovers for another meal!  Not wanting this delicious salmon to go to waste, I incorporated it into tacos the next day and everyone absolutely loved them!   Photo credit: https://www.eatyourselfskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cilantro-lime-tacos-2.jpg Here are the ingredients for the tacos: Lemon pepper dill salmon - I make this the day before for a meal and then use the leftovers for these tacos.  Flake and fry the salmon in a frying pan on medium heat until it gets a little crispy.  You don't need to add oil because the salmon has a lot of natural oil in it.  You're just warming up the salmon,...

Rosemary Focaccia Bread

My family's favorite bread recipe!  It is so delicious, when it is cooking, the smell spreads through the house calling everyone to the kitchen.  The best part is that it's super easy to make!  That is why I put it in this blog.  Only favorite recipes are allowed in this blog, and part of being a favorite is that it isn't so painful to make again and again.  My friend Mina gave me this recipe and made it with me to show me how it's done.  I will forever be grateful for her.  She is an amazing cook and friend.   Rosemary Focaccia Bread First, Grab a large mixing bowl.  Then turn your tap on to the hottest setting and let the water get as hot it can.  Put 2 cups of hot tap water into the bowl.   Dissolve 2 Tbs. of honey into the warm water.   Add 1 Tbs. of yeast and stir it into the water/honey mixture.  Set it aside.  If you're really interested in watching the yeast grow, you can stare at it, 'cause I'm...

Kalua Pork Tacos with Pineapple Slaw

 You can't have too many tacos!  When your main dish can be made into tacos the next day, you do it!  I made my Hawaiian meal with Kalua pork, rice and pineapple slaw and reconfigured it into tacos the next day and everyone loved them! I need to take a better picture, but these had great flavor and might've been better than the original meal.                                             Kalua Pork Tacos with Pineapple Slaw Kalua Pork  - Use the leftovers and fry it in a pan until it gets crispy in places.  There is enough oil in the pork, just heat the pan up and let it crisp. Pineapple Slaw - It tastes great the day after.  I used leftovers from the night before. Corn cut off the cobb- I fried the corn in a pan and added cilantro.  It was amazing! Corn tortillas- I fry them in a little oil on high until slightly browned. Cotija or Feta cheese (...
