Making Homemade Thin Pancakes
The first step includes separating the egg white from egg yolk for two eggs. This can be done by simply making a crack on the top of the egg and keeping a container beneath it. A tea filter can solve the purpose for separating the yolk and white, effectively.
The next step is to beat the eggs after adding ¼ salt to it, until it becomes stiff. For this job, you can make use of a portable blender.
Then you need to put in sugar, almost 70 grams to the mixture and then beat it manually.
In the next step, you will require 20ml of milk which would be added to the above mixture and will be whisked using the traditional method.
After adding, milk, salt and sugar with egg white, you have to put sieved flour, almost 110 grams. This will make it a thick batter and so it needs to be mixed well.
Now, pour the batter from a sieved filter so as to reduce clumps. If you see any clumps forming in the batter, simply whisk the clumps and they will be done.
You can add alcohol to the mixture, but if you do not prefer using alcohol, then you can add RUM.
You can use whisk to mix the batter and the egg white which is stifled.
Now, take a small saucer and add salad oil to it. Then get some tissues, fold it carefully and put it in oil. You can remove the tissue paper, until it soaks up the oil.
In the next step, take the soaked tissues and spread them evenly around a pan.
Now, transfer the batter of pancake into the pan and spread it uniformly by tilting it. This will help to evenly spread the mixture in the pan.
On low or medium heat, cook the pancake and flip them at proper intervals. This will make your pancakes tastier and evenly cooked. 

How You Can Make Banana Bread

We all know banana bread - it is that yummy, moist sweetbread that we make out of those nasty old black over-ripe bananas. “Don’t throw these bananas away!” - turn them into banana bread instead. 

First Banan Bread Ever?

Banana bread recipes started appearing in cookbooks around 1930s. Banana bread is not an actual bread mainly because you use baking soda instead of yeast. The mixture does not form dough to be kneaded and then set aside to rise, just a thick batter. Since it is so easy to make it is more and more popular. It is the most common in cafes in Australia where it is served at breakfast. 

There are several distinct variations of this uncomplicated recipe, like healthy banana bread, or this banan bread recipe etc... Here is a classic version of homemade banana bread but before we start maybe one more thing about bananas - they are actually pretty good for you and your health. You can check out their nutritional value here.

Homemade Banana Bread Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups of flour
• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 tablespoon buttermilk

Directions 

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. Place peeled bananas in a small bowl and mash them with a fork. Stir in buttermilk and set this aside.

3. In a larger bowl mix together the butter and sugars till they are fluffy.

4. Add the egg and beat until nicely blended.

5. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into a bowl.

6. Alternate adding the dry ingredients plus the banana mixture for the butter and sugar inside the mixing bowl. Start with the dry ingredients and end with the dry components and generally beat completely.

7. Coat a 9” by 5” loaf pan with cooking spray. Spoon the batter into the pan and spread it out evenly.

8. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes. The bread is done when is dark golden brown. Insert a toothpick directly in to the middle and if it comes out clean, the bread is done.

To make this banana bread recipe a bit different you can also add some other fruits to the recipe. the main difference is that you must always mash the bananas but leave other fruits in pieces and spread them out evenly throughout the batter. Fruits that you can use are for instance blueberries, peaches cut to pieces, cherries and all sorts of other fruits. Just experiment. You can also use dry fruits if you like.

That's it - enjoy!

 

Waffle House Recipe For Waffles

Waffle House is a famous franchise of restaurants that has been satisfying American plates since 1955. Waffles had been normally considered to be something to have in the morning. Because of Waffle House as well as their 24-hour service, waffles became a favored treat irrespective of what moment it really is. This just proves how tasty these waffles are. What makes it distinctive from other waffles is the fact that it can be quite thick plus have a somewhat sweet flavor. Exactly like most other waffle recipe variations, the Waffle House waffle recipe is simple to produce. You can find just some variances within the ingredients and the way it truly is prepared, thus, creating it distinctively delicious.

For this recipe you'll need

• 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour,
• 1 teaspoon Salt,
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda,
• 1 Egg,
• 1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon White Sugar,
• 2 tbsp Butter, softened,
• two tbsp Shortening,
• 1/2 cup half and half,
• 1/2 cup milk,
• 1/4 cup buttermilk,
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla.

Mix the dry ingredients like flour, salt, and baking soda in the bowl. In an additional bowl, slightly beat the egg. Work with an electric powered mixing machine to blend the sugar, butter, and shortening together using the beaten egg. Add the milk, buttermilk, vanilla, along with the half and half till well-blended together. Pour the flour mix and mix it properly with a spatula or you could use the electric beater to make mixing faster and less complicated.

Chill the mixture inside the fridge if possible for 12 hours. This really is the key of WaffleHouse as their batter is already prepared early and cooled till it truly is ready to use. This, nevertheless, is non-compulsory. In case you can't wait too long to enjoy your waffles, you might ignore this step. Pre-heat your waffle iron or griddle and ensure that the Teflon is well-greased with oil. Because it is heating up, take the batter out with the refrigerator to thaw. Once the waffle maker is prepared, pour adequate amounts of the batter and cook it for roughly three to 4 minutes or till it attains the best texture which you desire.

You might double the measurements in the ingredients for a bigger batch. If you would like the waffles to be somewhat a lot more light and creamy, beat the egg yolk plus the egg white individually. Use an electric mixer for the egg white to produce it look just like cake icing. Allow the waffles to chill a bit before serving, specifically should you be cooking for your kids, as it could be too hot if served suitable just after it truly is taken out with the waffle iron.

You might put butter as well as some maple syrup on leading before serving. You could also serve it with fresh fruits such as strawberries or ripe mangoes.

These kinds of waffles are so delicious, you could eat them as they're, without any toppings or syrups. Because the top secret recipe of Waffle House is uncovered, you might now appreciate great-tasting waffles proper in the comfort of your own dwelling.

Apple Pie

This is sooo funnny, there is a whole song about apple pie. It goes something like this:

 

Apple Pie

I'm a squishy squashy piece of Apple Pie,

and I make your tummy feel so very fine.

Serve me hot or serve me cold, or even serve me "a la mode."

I'm a scrumptious piece of yummy apple pie.

Verse 1.

Your Mommy makes me every Friday evening,

she sprinkles all the sugar on the dough.

She folds in all the apples and the cinnamon,

and when she's through she lets me lick the bowl.

Verse 2.

After you have had your beans and chicken on a plate;

after you have had your milk, and when it's getting late.

Suddenly you realize, that time is slipping by,

and it's time to eat that squishy squashy pie..

Verse 3.

Every bite is chewy and I'm crunchy and I'm gooey;

my pie crust is so flaky to the taste.

I'll disappear but have no fear, tomorrow I will reappear...

I'm so scrumptious that I'm much too good to waste.

 

Why Listen To Music?

I have found this definition: "Music has become a part of people's everyday routine. People listen to music starting right from their home to public buses, temples, shopping malls and all along the way till their workplace. Music helps people to forget and overcome the burden of their work and feel refreshed. For example, a manual worker who spends his whole day doing the monotonous job may become bored of his job, which will eventually result in decreased productivity. But by listening to music during his work, he can keep himself afresh and do his job in a enthusiatic and better manner.Many employers realizing the importance of music that it will increase the productivity, allow their employees to listen to music while they do their work. People working in software companies can be cited as an example."

Why Apple Pie :)?

You should listen to this song while you are baking apple pie, I bet it will taste better. I wanted to post a simple apple pie recipe today but this funny song got me totally distracted so you can follow the recipe link where you will find plenty of ways to make apple pie.

Until next recipe - enjoy!

Guacamole Recipe

Guacamole. I used to hate it. That was before I tried it :). I use to hate it because I dont like avocados. Guacamole is a dip that is based on avocados but it's taste is a totally different thing. I think it's delicious and here is a simple recipe for this easy to make Mexican appetizer. What do you need?

 

• 3 avocados, peeled, pitted and mashed
• 1 red onion, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 fresh jalapeno, chopped
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced

You need all this to make a full blown real Mexican guacamole. I will first explain how to make this one and the I will make one that is the easiest guacamole recipe out there. There is even a site with all the different guacamole recipes you can think of from classic to spicy to recipes with cheese, mayo, salsa etc... Check it out!

OK, the first one goes like this:

Take a bowl and put it mashed avocados, jalapeno peppers and red onion. And stir.

Then take another bowl and cut in green, red and yellow peppers, cover them with lime juice and add this mix to the avocado mix.

Throw in the cilantro and stir. You are done!

If you want a simpler guacamole then do just this:

Peel and mash the avocados.

Mix in minced red onion.

Add some salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. 

Mix and you are done.

Guacamole is best right after it is made. If you won't eat it right away cover it with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator. I love it with some tortilla chips but you can easily put it on a piece of bread or use it as a side dish with meat... the choice is yours.

Thanksgiving Dinner

My thanksgiving dinner garlic mashed potatoes were a big hit :). There is one more tip that I would like to share, again it's connected to making mashed potatoes. As I've said - less water, better mashed potatoes. This is why one of the tips is to cut potatoes in BIG chunks instead of small ones. This way the suck in less water. But a step further is not tu cut them at all. Don't even peel them. Wash them really good and then cook them with their skin on. When they are done drain them and cover them with cold water so that you dont burn yourslef and peel them... the skins will come of easy...just watch it, they're hot! :)

That's it. Tata...

Another Mashed Potatoes Tip

Actually, there is a bunch of tips how to improve your mashed potatoes on a website that I have found :). I suggest you check them out, there are also all sorts of recipes for mashed potatoes that will turn them in something more than just a side dish... like garlic, onion, bacon, cheddar cheese etc...

Still to sum it up, the main mashed potatoes recipe secrets:

1. Cut potatoes in BIG chunks!

2. Put them in COLD water.

3. When done drain the water and put them back on the stove for more water to EVAPORATE.

4. If you use an electric mashed/mixer don't overdo it!!

5. Add spices... garlic, cloves, onions, and things like bacon, cheddar cheese etc.. go crazy.

Mashed potatoes season is just around the corner :) happy mashing!

Simple Waffle Recipe And Waffles For Dessert

Yeah. Today I went totally into waffles. To be more specific - into dessert waffles. But first let's learn a little bit about waffles and how to make them! Waffles are very tasty meal for people who really love crispy and light stuffs. Making waffles is easy and it does not require any hard to come by ingredients. Waffles are to make at home and homemade waffles are much better that commercially prepared and sold ones.

Just follow this easy recipe. All you need is:

• 2 cups of all purpose flour, 
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder(cooking soda), 
• 1/2 tea spoon of salt, 
• 2 teaspoons of sugar, 
• 2 cups of milk with your preferred amount, also take 
• 2 eggs that are separated which are very important in the waffle recipe and 
• one full tablespoon full of melted butter. 

These are the easy ingredients that are always available in all the homes.

And now to making waffles:

1. Preheat the iron waffle maker.
2. Shift all the dry ingredients to a bowl. 
3. Beat the egg white properly until it is stiff in a small separate bowl. 
4. Add the separated egg yolk to the dry ingredients together with melted butter and the milk and mix well until you feel it is completely lump free. 
5. After it is lump free pour some of the stiff egg white on the batter and leave it for a while. 
6. Put one cup of batter in the preheated iron waffle and close it. 
7. Remove the waffle after 2 minutes and leave it out on a tray to cool and then 
8. enjoy, serve it with your favorite toppings on it. My favourite waffle toppings are mango waffle topping and peaches and cream waffle topping. Just follow the links to find out how to prepare them.

This amount of ingredients will give you around 12 waffles.

 

Also easy to make are butter milk waffles.

 

For this all you have to do is arrange the same ingredients and use butter milk instead of ordinary milk.

 

Follow the same procedure for the preparations.

 

This waffle will be good for the people who never like milk flavor and never want to use milk.

 

One tip: if you have left over batter you can store it in refrigerator. If it has gone thick then add some milk or buttermilk and stir well to get it back the normal. Other really cool waffle recipes are blueberry waffle recipe and strawberry, blueberry or raspberry waffle recipe. I love waffles with fruit in them. If you are more of a chocolate fan then try chocolate chip waffles.

 

Waffles make an interesting breakfast in the winter especially, though people enjoy them any season. In winters home made waffles will hit the right spot. And you may quickly run out of them and have to make more. Children will be your fans:)!

 

Well that's it.

 

Actually...one more recipe - when I was talking about children - I have also found these two recipes that I am sure will be kinds favourites - waffle ice cream sandwich recipe and banana split waffle recipe.

 

Uh....this waffle post has turned out to be much longer than planed :).
