German Pancakes

Pop Up Pancake Recipe - makes 24 muffins or fills a 9×13 baking pan

1 cup milk
1 cup flour
6 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
dash salt
Preheat oven at 400*

I like to blend all the ingredients in my blender. I have tried to whisk it or even use the electic mixer, but it seems to get the most smooth with a blender. Then grease your muffin tins or baking pan. Bake them for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top. Use a knife to pry them out, hopefully they were greased well enough and should pop right out.

Cracked Wheat

Cracked Wheat Hot Cereal

2 C. Hard Red Wheat

3 C. Water

1t. Salt

2T. Butter

Put this in the crock pot and set it on low for 6 hours. Depending on how you like your hot cereal adding water might be needed. 

I serve it just like this with juice and the kids love it. They like "popping" the wheat in their mouth. yeah, I don't know.

Wheat Crepes

I love crepes! They are easy, and you can be creative as you want! I love to have them for a meal, some with sweet some savory filling! These are made with whole wheat flour!



Whole Wheat Crepes
(recipe by Stephanie)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 1/2 cup milk
1. Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Scrape down sides as necessary.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, (or overnight).
3. Lightly oil a preheated crepe pan, or a small non stick skillet. Pour a little less than 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and quickly tilt the pan in a circular motion until batter is spread evenly around the bottom of the skillet. (If you like thinner crepes, use 2 tablespoons of batter. I like mine thicker.)
4. Cook the crepe until bubbly and browned on the bottom (about 30 seconds). Carefully flip the crepe over using a long spatula. Cook for another 20 seconds or until bottom is lightly browned.
5. Fill with desired toppings and roll or fold. Enjoy!

Some desired filling ideas:
Savory- Scrambled eggs and cheese, salsa, sauted onion
Sweet- dice up any fruit you have. I used blueberries, oranges, apples, and some almonds. Mix with yogurt and cool whip.
Also, I like to use fresh or frozen strawberries, toppped with whip cream and chocolate sauce
Lemon juice and powdered sugar is good too! Enjoy!

Best Whole Wheat Waffles

These are wonderful, they freeze beautifully! I made the mix ahead of time, then added the wet ingredients. You can double the recipe and freeze them for the week! We love these!

Money Saving Mom's Favorite Whole-Wheat Waffles
(Makes approximately 6-8 waffles.)
1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 3/4 cup milk (I usually use half milk, half water--unless I have a lot of excess milk to use up!)
1/2 cup oil or melted butter (I usually use half oil, half applesauce. You can use all applesauce, but we don't think they turn out quite as well that way. I've also substituted other pureed fruits and veggies and those work as well. So long as you do half oil/half puree, it doesn't make much difference.)
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
Mix all ingredients, and pour into hot waffle pan!
Enjoy!
