Peach Cinnamon Pancakes

Hey all!  I had a craving for some pancakes the other night and these turned out great.  I found a basic recipe then added a few things to make it my own and a little sweeter. Hope you enjoy them!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, stirred or sifted before measuring
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter 
• dash of vanilla
• 1 large peach cut and sliced very thin

Preparation:

Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of milk- and a dash of vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring only until smooth. Blend in melted butter. If the batter seems too thick to pour, add a little more milk. Then add the peaches. Cook on a hot, greased griddle, using about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbly, a little dry around the edges, and lightly browned on the bottom; turn and brown the other side. Recipe for pancakes serves 4.
*I noticed that if the peaches were cut too thick it was hard to cook the pancakes all the way through without burning them so make sure they are very thin. 

Happy cooking! :)

Strawberry Waffles

***Update!- Ok so I did this one again but cut it in half (so it made 8 waffles). Except this time I used peaches. Oh so good. Just as good or maybe even better than the strawberries. It only took one peach cut up into small pieces. I did use two eggs- don't forget to beat the whites separately- it really makes a difference. So so good. ***

Ok- so this one I kind of pieced together different recipes to make my own. They turned out really good. These were really soft so if you are looking for a crispy recipe this is not the one for you. I am reading to try and figure that out. From what I can find cornstarch has to be involved. I will get back to you on all that. A note about the eggs. It worked out really well to separate them and then beat the whites. It made it really fluffy- worth the effort!

Ingredients

3 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2 1/4 cups milk

1/2 cup and 1 tbsp vegetable oil

3 eggs separated

2 tsp vanilla

3 tbsp sugar

1 cup of fresh strawberries

Directions

1) Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into large bowl

2) Stir in milk, oil, and yolks until smooth

3) beat egg whites in separate bowl until peaks form. Fold into batter.

4)Depending on your waffle iron scoop desired amount mine was about 1/4 a cup per waffle. Cook on a hot waffle iron until golden.

This made about 16 waffles on my small iron. We topped with whipped cream and syrup. Happy cooking!
