Basic Pancakes

This is the most basic and simple pancake recipe and the pancakes come out so thick and fluffy it's ridiculous. Once I started making pancakes from scratch I never got them from a box or a Bisquick Shake & Make. No offense but honestly...where's the comparison here? I don't have an actual picture of the pancakes because I haven't made any here lately but as soon as I make some I will take a picture and delete this whole last sentence! 


Basic Pancakes


Ingredients:
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 1/2 C flour
  • 3 1/2 tsp baking powder (and make sure its a TEASPOON and not a TABLESPOON. I confused the two once and ended up having to make sooo many pancakes because you can't really take it out once its in there so I just added more flour and everything else. What's a girl to do?)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 C sugar
  • 1 1/4 C milk
Directions:
  1. Combine wet ingredients
  2. Combine dry ingredients
  3. Mix together
  4. Heat pan to medium heat (either a greased pan or a nonstick if you fancy)
  5. Pour desired amount into aforementioned pan
  6. LET IT SIT! Don't start messing with it. It will let you know when it's ready to flip. Typically it would be ready once the top side is bubbled up. 
  7. Flip (if you want to try and flip it with just a flick of your wrist and the pan, please ensure your pans handle is firmly attached and that you're fully confident. Confidence is KEY! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!
  8. Cook second side until golden.
  9. Serve with butter and syrup...or peanut butter, or fresh fruit, or Nutella!

There we have it folks! And as y'all know this is a BASIC pancake recipe so you can add chocolate chips, blueberries or, my personal favorite, raspberries and white chocolate. Thanks for sticking around this long. 

Until next time,

Raspberry Chipotle Salmon

This is a dish I made for a contest my school was holding. We had to use a Raspberry Chipotle sauce from Fischer and Weiser. I made Top 10 finalists with this dish! I served it with asparagus and mashed potatoes and I'll give the recipe/ingredients for that too. Raspberry Chipotle Glazed Grilled Salmon Ingredients: Salmon filets (however many you require) a bundle of asparagus (or two) potatoes (for mashing) Fischer and Weiser Raspberry Chipotle sauce 3 cloves garlic-chopped or g lemon-zested and juiced 1 C any kind of fruity wine (I used Arbor Mist Mango and Strawberry) 3 TBSP butter (plus more for your potatoes) green onions or chives cream or milk  2 TBSP vegetable oil salt and pepper to taste Directions:   (These steps aren't necessarily in order. You'll want to reorder them because you don't want one side being colder than the rest. Time management and all.) Starting with the potatoes you're going to want to peel them and wash t...

Chimichurri Marinated Ribeye

Greetings and salutations. This time we're going to make steak with a chimichurri sauce! I made the chimichurri two ways. The first way I blended it and used it as a marinade for my steaks and the second I just chopped everything up super fine and used it as a garnish/sauce for the finished steak. So without further ado... Chimichurri Marinated Ribeye Ingredients: (Ingredients have been doubled for both a marinade and a garnish) 8 oz flat leaf parsley 2 oz garlic 12 oz oil 4 oz red wine vinegar 1 oz lemon juice 1 oz red onion 2 tsp dried oregano 2 tbsp black 2 tbsp salt  Directions: Combine half of the ingredients excluding the oil to a blender or food processor. (I used a blender (actually a Nutribullet) and it came out so smooth). Blend or process until combined.  Slowly add half of the oil until it's smooth or at your desired consistency. For the garnish half of the chimichurri chop all ingredients up very fine and toss everything. EVERYTH...
