In fact, she used to own a catering business and a restaurant aptly and artistically named Century Pine for the 100 year old pine tree on the grounds.
The kitchen and I are slowly becoming friends. But when it comes to pancakes, that's a boy job at our house. Randy taught Cayden to be a man and so he started cooking up pancakes when he was 6 years old, he's practically a veteran now.
One of my bridal shower gifts from Bon was some of her recipes. March 8th marked 7 years since her passing, so Randy wanted some comfort food.
This is Bon's recipe for whole, wheat german pancakes and marked kind of .k. for Randy's running diet.
Whole Wheat German Pancakes
1 1/4 cupswhole wheat flour
3 tsp. baking powder
3 T. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
2 egss well beaten
1 1/4 cup milk
3 T. real butter
Stir together all dry items. Beat eggs, add milk and softened butter. Combine alll ingredients. Cook on hot griddle. Makes about 15 pancakes.
These come out thin but are yummy and pretty healthy, depending on what you drench them in. The kids and I did powdered sugar, blueberries and butter syrup. Obviously, I am not as diligent in my running diet as Randy is!
Madalyn making the accompanying eggs; never to early to have the kids learn to help out! "More cheese, please!" Randy passes on our cheesy eggs right now and opts for just egg whites, after April he'll join us again in some of our indulgent eating habits.
