Pancake Hearts for Breakfast

February 8, 2016 · by Carrie Trax ·

2016.02.07@11.15.26._K3_5603With Valentine’s coming up next week treat your sweetheart or family with some heart-shape pancakes. Make them mini or big they will bring a smile to everyones face. Make it extra special and cut your strawberries into heart-shapes and do not worry if the hearts are not perfect because hearts come in many shapes and sizes!

Heart-Shape Pancakes
Buttermilk Pancakes recipe
Large Ziploc bag or icing bag
Strawberries
Other goodie ideas: mini chocolate chips, cherry pie filling, jimmies, bananas, blueberries

Preheat flat top grill or pan to 400 degrees.  Make the buttermilk pancake recipe above and place half of the batter into the bag. Do not over fill the bag it will make it hard to make your heart-shapes. Once the grill or pan is hot enough cut off the end of the bag to get about a 1/4″ opening.  Be careful to hold the cut side up so the batter does not start to spill out.  With the bag of batter make the outer shape of a heart and then fill in the center with more batter.  You might want to practice a few first.  Do not worry if the heart shapes are not perfect.  Once you start to see some bubbles on the top of the batter take a peek with a spatula by lifting a corner to see if the bottom side is a golden brown color. If it is flip over the pancake.  Cook another 2 minutes and the pancakes are ready.  If you want to keep them warm place in a preheated 250 degree oven on a baking sheet. You are now ready to add your goodies and enjoy!

* You can also add the jimmies to the batter before cooking

Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce

April 27, 2015 · by Carrie Trax ·

Strawberries and Rhubarb in white potThis year in Oregon we have had an early spring and the fresh strawberries and rhubarb are already starting to be harvested.  These two make the best combination for pies, cobbler and YES a sweet sauce.Pancakes topped with Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce  In about 30 minutes I had a warm sweet sauce ready to serve on my homemade buttermilk pancakes!

Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce
4 cups diced strawberries
4 cups diced rhubarb
1 lemon, juiced
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup water

Combine the strawberries, rhubarb, lemon juice, sugar and water in a medium sized sauce pan.  Bring it to a boil and let it cook on low to medium heat for about 30 minutes, cook less or longer depending on how thick you want it.  The sauce can be served cold or warm. Keep refrigerated.

Huckleberry Buttermilk Pancakes

September 4, 2012 · by Carrie Trax ·

Do you see the little blue huckleberries bursting out of these buttermilk pancakes?  You can not get them any fresher in Oregon than picking them yourself.  Huckleberries just came into season a few weeks ago here in Oregon and just as quick they will be gone, so now is the best time to go pick them.  Most wild huckleberries are found at higher elevations between 4,000-6,000 feet.   We were lucky enough on our hike yesterday to find a HUGE patch of wild huckleberries.  We were not prepared to pick them but did have an empty water bottle, which I think is one of the best containers to pick them in.  It keeps them from spilling out and it is easy to carry in your backpack.  We had only one bottle and if you have ever picked huckleberries you know it takes time.  John and I both picked for 20 minutes and only got 1 cup of these “good as gold” berries.  We have marked the spot and will be returning at the end of the week with more bottles and help to gather up some more.  The one cup of huckleberries was just enough for me to get 8 golden and delicious pancakes today… enjoy the recipe!

Huckleberry Buttermilk Pancakes
1 1/2 cups Bob’s Red Mill white flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
4 tablespoon butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 cup Huckleberries
In medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, set aside.  In small bowl combine buttermilk, butter and eggs.  Add buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, combine until mixed do not over mix (I prefer to use a whisk it does the quickest and best job).  Cook on 400 degrees (hot griddle).  Pour about 1/4 cup of batter on the griddle and sprinkle with the huckleberries.

Cook on first side about 3 minutes until bubbles appear along the edge of the pancake. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more and golden brown.  Serve with a big pat of butter and enjoy!

The little Italian pasta …. Orzo with Lemon Greek Chicken Thighs

So what is orzo if you go to Wikipedia this is what they say: Orzo (from Latin hordeum, sometimes called Italian rice) is Italian and means “barley”[1], from which orzo was originally made. However, in common usage in the United States, orzo is understood to mean rice-shaped pasta, slightly smaller than a pine nut. It […]
