Honey Vanilla Pancakes

How would you rate your skill level in the kitchen?  While I consider myself to be proficient overall, there are still tons of things I'd like to perfect, especially when it comes to baking.  Nielsen-Massey's Better Your Bake tip series is a great educational tool, walking you through various techniques and then giving a selection of recipes to choose from to test out what you've learned.

The first tip is how to separate eggs and how to properly whisk eggs.  The recipe I chose to showcase my whisking technique is the Honey Vanilla Pancakes. Look how light and fluffy they turned out!  I used the Ugandan Pure Vanilla Extract, and served them with blueberries from our new bushes.


Tip #2 focuses on how to brown butter, and the Browned Butter Cereal Treats are calling my name.  Browned butter is amazing in both sweet and savory applications, giving food a "nutty" flavor.  

 Tip #3 is how to roll out cookie dough.  That's something that I've always struggled with, and I'm looking forward to practicing and then making the Berry Swirl Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Honey Vanilla Pancakes

Honey Vanilla Pancakes
Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for buttering the skillet and topping the pancakes
  • 1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Ugandan Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; whisk to combine. In a small bowl, whisk two eggs until the yolks and whites are blended. In a separate, small microwave-safe bowl, add honey and heat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
  2. Add the whisked eggs, honey, buttermilk, melted butter and Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract; whisk to combine. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until just combined.
  3. Preheat a skillet or pancake griddle over medium heat. Coat with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and let it melt for a minute or two. Use a ladle or measuring cup to scoop about ¼ cup of batter into the pan. For larger pancakes, ladle 1/2 cup.
  4. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown. Lower the heat if necessary. Repeat this step with the rest of the batter and add more butter as needed to coat the pan.
  5. Garnish with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

*Whisking the eggs prior to incorporating with your other wet ingredients ensures the eggs will mix evenly with the dry ingredients.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microw...

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker....

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!
