homemade buttermilk pancake/waffle mix

I've had this cookbook sitting in my collection for a VERY long time, but I've never put it to use! Until now, of course. I've been wanting to make my own bisquick for quite some time, but couldn't ever find the perfect recipe. All that time searching and I didn't even realize that I had the recipe all along. But it was worth the wait! The pancakes are delicious. They're light and fluffy yet hearty and filling. We grew up adding yogurt to our pancakes, but I'm not sure these even need that! They're delicious topped with fruit, or anything else your little heart desires.

Mix recipe
(Recipe has been modified from Make-A-Mix cookbook)
2 cups dry buttermilk powder
8 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
8 t. baking powder
4 t. baking soda
2 1/2 t. kosher salt

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to blend. Pour into a 12 cup container with lid. Store in a cool, dry place. Use within 6 months. Mix will retain its freshness longer when refrigerated.





Here's what my container looks like with the recipe taped to the front. (that's right, so there are no excuses when the husband is asked to make pancakes!)

Buttermilk pancake recipe
1 egg, beaten
2 T melted butter
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup mix

Combine egg, oil, milk and water. Whisk in the mix until blended. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir in additional water to thin batter(if needed). Now go cook those pancakes!

Buttermilk waffle recipe
2 1/2 cups mix
1 cup water
1 cup milk
3 eggs, separated
1/4 cup melted butter

In a large bowl, combine mix, water, milk, egg yolks, and melted butter. Beat with wire wisk until just blended. In medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold whites into batter and bake according to waffle baker instructions. Makes 3-4 large waffles.
Enjoy!

heart cookies

got this recipe from martha for valentine's day.  it is a mix between an oatmeal cookie and a shortbread cookie and oh so yummy.  i'll be taking these to a preschool party and around to some of my friends tomorrow.  they are reminiscent of graham crackers and chocolate frosting, which my husband and kids love, so i'm hoping they enjoy these.  the dough turned out be a bit different than the recipe claims, but i made it work.  i've changed the recipe only slightly-i dipped the hearts in melted chocolate chips rather than sandwiching nutella between two cookies.   one great tip on melting chocolate is do it in the microwave!  it's so easy and you don't have to worry about a double-boiler and all that clean up.  ina garten, the barefoot contessa and one of my cooking idols, gives a great explanation on how to do it here .  i'm sure the nutella way would be good, too.  it's just not something i regularly have in my pantry, for good reason. 

hash brown quiche

sorry i've been m.i.a. for a while.  i haven't really been m.i.a.  i just moved across the country in the middle of the first trimester of my third pregnancy and i've been a little wonky the past few months.  (ask my husband)  while in the throngs of packing up our house full of junk, er... things, i just couldn't keep up with all my responsibilities, so the blog had to go...temporarily.  plus, i mean really, along with all the yucks of those first few months like feeling like your stomach is turning inside out and you can barely keep control of your balance and you don't even want to think about food, i had a strange aversion to all things cyberspace.  even the thought of facebook or checking my email or this blog sent me into a spin of nausea.  strange, i know.  i can't really explain it.  i do have a friend who said when she was pregnant she had a strange aversion to certain people.  anytime she saw someone in particular, it would make her si

pear salad with lemon-garlic vinaigrette

i have a friend who served me this salad.  it was love at first taste.  i think i could spend the rest of my life with that dressing.  i found myself wanting to eat it so often, i had to find something else to pair it with (just plain drinking it was not an option, although, it did cross my mind.)  it actually happened by accident.  i added pears to my salad one day and loved it so much, the next day i decided to leave out the lettuce/spinach altogether.  the result:  a fantastic and easy salad that just may make your lips pucker up and make your heart skip a beat. 2 fresh pears, peel on and diced grated parmesan, or any other sharp cheese almonds, chopped or slivered (the original recipe calls for crumbled bacon, which would be fantastic even in this salad!) lemon-garlic vinaigrette juice of one lemon small clove of garlic, minced 2/3 cup canola oil salt and pepper to taste combine in a jar and shake to emulsify (or you can whisk in the canola oil to emulsify.
