German Pancakes

German Pancakes were one of my favorite breakfasts when I was growing up.  I don't know their real name, because I have a sweet German friend who thinks that it's not actually a German recipe.  I guess I should call this Puffed Oven Pancake or something like that.  Who knows...

No matter what the name is, this is one of my favorite things to have for dinner when I don't have much time to make a big meal.  We usually have German Pancakes with homemade maple syrup and some fruit on the side.  

This is a fun meal for the kids to help make.  It's fun to see how high it "puffs up" in the oven.

 

German Pancakes (or Puffed Oven Pancake)

3 T. butter (I have another recipe that only uses 2 T. butter)
6 eggs
1 c. milk
1 c. flour

Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Melt butter in a 9x13 pan in the oven.  When the butter is melted, remove the pan from the oven and swirl the butter around so the whole bottom and the sides of the pan are coated with butter.

Beat 6 eggs.  Add milk and flour.  Stir until smooth.  (I do this with my immersion blender.)

Pour egg mixture over the butter.  Bake for 15 minutes or until puffed and golden.  

Serve with syrup.

One Hour Rolls

These rolls are amazing!  I've been making these rolls since 2001 when I was a newlywed and my sister-in-law shared the recipe with me.  The rolls are light, fluffy, easy to make and they only take one hour!  And delicious too!   I've made these rolls more times than I can count, so I've perfected the art of making them.  Here are some step-by-step instructions with pictures for you. Here's what you'll need.  I buy pretty much all of the ingredients in this recipe at Sam's club, thus the huge containers.  You need warm water, yeast, oil, sugar, salt, egg and flour. In the mixer bowl, add warm water (not hot), oil, sugar and yeast.  Mix together. After ten or fifteen minutes the yeast mixture should be puffed up like this.  Time to add the salt and beaten egg. Then mix in the flour.  (I've used a mixture of half wheat and half white flour successfully.) Keep adding flour until the dough is manageable.  It will be a little sticky, b

Don't like your house to smell like food? I've got a kitchen tip for that!

I have a smallish, one story house and if I cook food that is kind of smelly, like onions, the smell tends to linger in every room.  This is a pet peeve of mine and (also my husband's).  Over the years I've found a few ways to cook smelly food without smelling up the kitchen. Use your garage!   I use my garage quite often to cook things in.  I open the window and it airs out, especially when you open the garage door.  I'm sure my neighbors wonder what I'm cooking. I've used two different kitchen appliances in the garage:  my crockpot and my food dehydrator. Crockpot - I did this very thing today since I'm simmering chicken, onions, carrots and celery to make chicken noodle soup tonight.  I don't want my house to smell like onions all day, so I plugged it in on my husband's workbench.   Food dehydrator - when I make jerky, I plug the food dehydrator in in the garage.  I don't really want my house to smell like meat for hours
