Dutch Puff

(This is one of those recipes that I really don’t remember where I got it from.)

Ingredients:

  • 1 stick butter
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 c. milk
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 t. salt. optional
  • 1 T. vanilla, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.

Put the stick of butter in a 9×13 pan or a 12-inch castiron skillet and place it in the oven to melt while you prepare the puff.

Beat eggs, milk, flour, and salt until smooth and then another minute more, stir in the vanilla.

Remove pan from the oven and pour the mixture into the melted butter.

Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown.

When you get the puff out of the oven it will be golden and puffed, lovely.

Serve immediately. If you wait it will deflate.

Top with molasses, honey, fresh fruit, confectioners sugar or maple syrup. Maybe even try it with Blueberry Syrup or one of the homemade fruit pie fillings found HERE.

For a special change try making individual servings of dutch puff in oven-safe ramekins. Again this is fun for the company. You can prepare ahead of time and then pop them in the oven as each person wakes.

For Sourdough Dutch Puff:

decrease the milk to 1/3 c. and use 2 c. sourdough starter in place of the flour.

Tomato Gravy

This recipe reminds me of the tomato dumplings my mom-mom used to make when I was little. Oh, how I loved those! This is a meal that just kinda changes up things every once in a while and it won’t be a meal that is for everyone. We really enjoy it here though. Continue reading “Tomato Gravy”

Rice Pudding

This has been a favorite of mine since I was little. It is a great way to use up leftover white rice also. Some of my kids don’t like the raisins so I usually divide the batch in half and leave one part plain.

This could also be served for breakfast if you like. Continue reading “Rice Pudding”

Pancake Poppers

This is a quick and easy alternative for breakfast. There are so many things you could add to these to make them a family favorite. They are also really easy for little hands that might have trouble with a regular pancake. These are great for freezer meals too! Continue reading “Pancake Poppers”
