Pancake Overload

I love pancakes!  I like them light and fluffy.  

I use Krusteau's Blueberry Pancake mix to make these.  I don't try to make the ones from scratch anymore because eversince I tried this one, it sure was pretty good so why go through all the hassle of making everything yourself.  Plus, this gives you bonus time to relax and just enjoy a short walk in the morning.

You can buy Krusteau Blueberry Pancake at Market-Market Supermarket.  

What you'll need:

small teflon pan

butter

pancake syrup

Krusteau Blueberry Pancake mix

bacon or sausage on the side

Use 3 cups of pancake mix, add just enough water and mix (do not overmix because this will cause the pancake to be flat or heavy), set aside.  

Use a small pan to accomplish this perfect mini pancake and make sure that they all have the same shape.  Place 1tsp. butter, then when butter begins to melt, add in pancake mix, cover with a lid, then when the pancake bubbles and looks ready to flip, flip it to cook the other side.  Then repeat until you finish the mix.

Use a small amount of butter in between each pancake to hold them a bit together.  Not too much so you won't get all those calories in there.  Drizzle with your favorite pancake syrup.  Serve with bacon or sausage on the side.  The saltiness of the sides are a perfect match to the sweetness of the syrup.  =)

Abi's Cinnamon French Toast

We had a light breakfast this morning.  It's easy to prepare french toast.  Well, I'll just share my version of it so in case you want to give it a try.

Here's what you'll need:

2 medium sized eggs

cinnamon powder

sugar

confectioner's sugar

pancake syrup

Dijon Mustard (optional)

bread

butter

Just whip the eggs, add in cinnamon powder and Dijon mustard, dip the bread in the mix, then set aside. Heat butter in pan (I use the one with grill marks to make my toast more presentable), then add the dunked bread, flip after a few mins for the other side.  Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar (you can mix cinnamon and sugar in a separate container), then place on nice plate (preferably dark one so the confectioner's sugar would look nicer).  =)  Top with syrup.

Make sure to serve with freshly brewed coffee.  You can also add some fresh fruits on the side.  

Caramel Macciato paired with cheesy scrambled eggs

We had light breakfast today.  We had Caramel Macciato to go with our cheesy scrambled eggs.

How to make a simple Caramel Macciato.

Just brew your normal coffee (I use espresso beans or Lavazza), pretty good and strong ones too.  Then mix in a 2 tsp. Torini caramel syrup and creamer, set aside. Now for the foamed milk, I bought this electric beater which instantly makes your ordinary milk to a nice, thick foam.  Scoop some foam and add it to your coffee then drizzle some Hershey's caramel syrup.
