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.

Snickerdoodle Muffins I have been obsessed with Pinterest lately!

Sweet Pea's Kitchen - StumbleUpon

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? I really need to stop looking at Pinterest after dinner! I found using an ice cream scooper with a release lever the easiest way to scoop out the batter. After the ball of dough is completely covered in cinnamon and sugar just plop it into the muffin liner and bake! Delicious muffins that combines the best of a snickerdoodle cookie with the comfort of a warm muffin, perfect for breakfast or dessert! 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?

Baked Eggs with Bacon and Spinach

You know, because she’s always turning herself into the girl that the guy she’s marrying wants to be with? Yeah. Uno más... (chips and spicy chorizo omelet) ¿De dónde se ha sacado Hanna Pakarinen la fregona?

Uno más... (chips and spicy chorizo omelet)

¿¿Y por qué se empeña en encerrarse en un círculo de mugre mientras deja el garito como los chorros del oro?? Se acerca el fin de semana... y seguimos igual. Esta cuesta de enero psicológica se está pareciendo más a una subida al K2 que a otra cosa. Así que hoy vengo con una receta fácil, un pelín guarrindonguilla, pero que fue un hit entre los cocineros famosetes hace unos años. No sé quien tuvo el honor de ser el primero, pero fueron unos cuantos los que abrieron una bolsa de patatas, la regaron con huevo y vuelta y vuelta en la sartén.

Green Tea Muffins Recipe. Fluffy Pancakes. This pancake recipe is the result of mixing and matching different recipes from many different sources.

Fluffy Pancakes

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. Vanilla Bean Waffles with Vanilla Syrup. When people think of vanilla, they think of ice cream.

Vanilla Bean Waffles with Vanilla Syrup

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.

Vanilla Bean Waffles with Vanilla Syrup Waffles: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups milk or buttermilk 1/4 cup canola oil 2 large eggs 1 vanilla bean (or 1 tsp. pure vanilla) pure maple syrup or golden syrup In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Cakespy: Funfetti Pancakes

—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.
