Have any heavy cream leftover from making some homemade truffles? This is biscuit recipe is a great way to use up some leftover heavy cream, but it's also a great reason to buy heavy cream if you don't have any. This recipe is hands down the easiest and best way to get light, fluffy biscuits. And any biscuit recipe that doesn't require cutting in butter is a winner in my book. Cream Biscuits Print Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 15 mins Total time: 25 mins … [Read more...]
There are those mornings when all I want is a cinnamon roll. Now. I don't want to wait the 2-3 hours of rising and baking that a "normal" yeast roll would take. These little guys are perfect for a quick cinnamon roll fix. They are actually more biscuit rolls than true yeast cinnamon rolls, but they do in a pinch. Plus they are "mini", which means they make a great breakfast side dish. Mini-Cinnamon Rolls Print Recipe type: Breakfast Author: … [Read more...]
I have been making German Oven Pancakes for years. I've tried two different recipes, both of which were fine, but had their issues. This recipe, however, was perfect. The batter puffed up nicely and we had plenty to eat. In fact, we had leftovers, which never happens with German Oven Pancakes around here. I tripled the recipe below and baked 2/3 of the batter in a 9x13 pan and 1/3 in a cast iron skillet. I almost always have issues with the pancakes sticking and this recipe … [Read more...]
This is the recipe I made for our Christmas breakfast this year. I've made several baked French toast recipes, but none of them have been this easy and this delicious! But this recipe is from Pioneer Woman, and she never, ever dissapoints! I used a Challah bread that I had in the freezer and it really kicked this up a notch. There is plenty of sugar in the recipe already so I did not serve it with any syrup. We ate this for two days and it warmed up beautifully in the toaster oven. I'm … [Read more...]
I'm not sure how I ever survived without Hoe Cake. It is my go-to super quick breakfast bread as it is basically a very large biscuit. It takes way less time than rolling and cutting biscuits so it's great for a large crowd, too. I use it for biscuits and gravy as well as the bread for dipping over easy eggs. It's a fabulous addition to the morning routine. Southern Plate,the blog where I found the Hoe Cake recipe, prefers if I just link over to her so I won't put the full … [Read more...]
I have spent the past 5 years trying to figure out how to have fresh, homemade cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. As a kid, we ate the cinnamon rolls out of the tube, which, frankly, is much more convenient even if less appetizing. Every single recipe I have for cinnamon rolls takes a good two hours to make with all the rising. I've tried refrigerating overnight to rise, but that never seems to work. I could get up at 3 AM to start them, but I don't want the rolls THAT much! This … [Read more...]
I have made more than my fair share of scones in the past few years. Most scone recipes require the same basic techniques and ingredients and they are quite simple and quick to make. These glazed cinnamon scones, however, are just amazing! I couldn't believe how tender and flaky they are. I'm not really sure why they turned out so much better than other recipes because they use the same basic ingredients and techniques. Maybe it was the chilly weather the day I made them or the fact … [Read more...]
My kids really love pancakes so we eat them quite often for breakfast. I used to really enjoy pancakes, but since they've become a regular breakfast item, I've grown rather bored with them. I am always looking for a new and unusual pancake recipe just to change things up. Red velvet pancakes had me at "hello"! I was so hoping that these would be good because I really need a new pancake to love. These pancakes were so good that I happily ate them for breakfast two days in a row. If … [Read more...]
I am not a huge fan of maple syrup. I discovered grade B maple syrup a year ago and that helped a bit, but in general, I think maple syrup ruins a good pancake. I finally realized that I could actually make my own syrups of all kinds of different flavors! Up until now my favorite has been coconut creme syrup, but buttermilk syrup has ratcheted to top of my must have pancake toppings. This syrup is out of this world and would be good on anything -- pancakes, waffles, french toast.... My … [Read more...]
I decided to make this baked french toast for breakfast on Christmas morning. I wanted something quick and easy with very little prep work that was still "special" enough for Christmas. This dish was amazing! My kids are still asking for this for breakfast! We ate this for two days after Christmas and it re-heated beautifully in the toaster oven. I did not serve this with any kind of topping. I just cut and served because there is so much sugar already in the casserole. I used a loaf of … [Read more...]
