Secret Drinks to Order at Starbucks for Kids - Coffee Shop Insider. How to Make Bagels: A Users Manual at Epicurious.com - StumbleUpon. While making bagels may seem challenging to home cooks, it's actually not as complicated as you might think. But before we get into the specific recipe and bagel-making process, let's explore a few urban myths: Do You Need a Special Type of Flour to Make Bagels? No. Bagel shops often use a type of high-gluten flour to achieve that distinctively chewy texture and to stand up to the rigors of mass production, but you can opt for more readily available unbleached bread flour and still achieve fantastic results.

Plus, even though bread flour contains slightly less protein—12.5 percent compared with 14 percent for high-gluten flour—it actually tastes better. Is Barley Malt Syrup Essential to That Distinctive Bagel Taste? Yes and no. Barley malt syrup is available at most supermarkets, but if you can't find it, use brown rice syrup, honey, or agave. Can You Make Good Bagels in One Day? While not a difficult or labor-intensive process, bagel making is a two-day affair. Jamaican Banana Fritters - ThatsSoYummy.com - StumbleUpon. There’s a thing in my house that when you have ripe ol bananas either you make banana bread or banana fritters. These delicious tasty treats can be eaten morning, noon, or night, as a snack or as dessert. These fritters are so easy to make and will satisfy any craving you may have.

So if you have a few of these bananas lying around your hose… don’t toss them, put them to GREAT use! Enjoy! Peel and mash the ripe bananas. Beat egg, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Next, blend egg mixture with mashed bananas. Make sure it is all incorporated. Then sift flour and baking powder into the banana/egg mixture. Mix it all together. If the batter seems to be too thick add a little milk… I added about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of milk. Add oil to a frying pan and place on medium high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the banana fritter batter into the hot oiled frying pan. Flip when you see the edges starting to get brown and golden. Lastly, combine cinnamon and sugar together to create your cinnamon sugar.

Snickerdoodle Muffins | Sweet Pea's Kitchen - StumbleUpon. I have been obsessed with Pinterest lately! Pinning this and that all while trying not to drool all over my computer.

While I like pinning lots of different things, as you can imagine, I love pinning recipes. A picture of snickerdoodle muffins kept popping up all over my Pinterest page just begging me to make them. Could it be, one of my favorite cookies in a breakfast treat? These muffins made the best late-night snack I have had in a while! I really need to stop looking at Pinterest after dinner! The dough is very soft, so when you drop some into the cinnamon-sugar mixture you want to spoon some of the mixture over the dough before you start rolling it.

This way your fingers never touch the sticky dough and you don’t end up with snickerdoodle batter all over your fingers. After the ball of dough is completely covered in cinnamon and sugar just plop it into the muffin liner and bake! Scroll to bottom for printable recipe card. What makes this recipe special? For the Topping: Sugar Cinnamon. Baked Eggs with Bacon and Spinach. Do y’all remember the scene in Runaway Bride (that’s an Oscar contender if I’ve ever seen one…) where Julia Roberts realizes that she doesn’t know how she likes her eggs? You know, because she’s always turning herself into the girl that the guy she’s marrying wants to be with? Yeah. That’s not me. I know how I like my eggs, although I will say that it depends on the day. If it’s a scrambled kind of day then I want them scrambled with NO MILK, a tab of butter, and salt and pepper.

Maybe some goat cheese if I’m feeling feisty. Hey, I’m an independent woman…throw your hands up at me. Now that we’ve established my egg-eating habits, though, I have to say – baked eggs are kind of amazing, an unexpected new love in my egg-eating life.

Fluffy Pancakes | Blogger For Hire.

This pancake recipe is the result of mixing and matching different recipes from many different sources. It is the result of trying and failing so many times, that I almost declared pancakes as the one breakfast recipe I couldn’t master. But I persisted, and this recipe is perfect – as perfect as a pancakes recipe can be, because making pancakes does involve frying, and frying is something that each of us needs to play with. It changes depending on your type of stove (gas or electric), on how hot the skillet is, and on how evenly hot you manage to keep it while frying multiple batches. But the instructions here are as close as it gets to “perfect,” and the result? This recipe makes 16-18 pancakes.

When people think of vanilla, they think of ice cream. Rice pudding. Shortbread – all vehicles for the warmth and aroma of good vanilla. When I get vanilla beans, I tend to hoard them, pulling them out of their delicate glass beakers only for special occasion crème brulée, homemade ice cream and the like. I’ve recently decided to not be so stingy with my vanilla beans, and call them into service for more pedestrian recipes. Here’s a thought: when the day calls for a special breakfast in bed, you can use a vanilla bean to make your waffles (and the syrup you serve alongside) are extra special.

Bonus: if you have a vanilla bean, you can simmer the pod in your maple syrup, infusing it with flavor while simultaneously warming it before breakfast.

—The Mgmt. Fact: half of the word "pancake" is comprised of the word "cake". Actually, if you want to get really technical, it's slightly more than half. And in celebration of bringing more cake to the pan, I'd like to present my newest invention: Funfetti Pancakes. By lightly modifying a typical cake mix, you can make your own DIY pancake mix; the resulting pancakes are light and fluffy, but sweeter (and in this case, more colorful) than the typical griddle fare.

Top them with jam, syrup, or even cake frosting for a morning treat that tastes like sweet fun. About the author: Jessie Oleson is a Seattle-based writer, illustrator, gallery owner, and cake anthropologist who runs Cakespy, an award-winning dessert website.
