Put eggs in blender or processor and whirl 1 minute. Gradually add milk, then slowly add flour. Continue mixing for 30 seconds.


Remove pan from oven and pour batter into hot melted butter. Return to oven and cook until puffy and well browned (approx. 20-25 minutes)


Dust with ground nutmeg if desired. Serve at once.





Tastes excellent with the following toppings:





Powdered sugar and lemon juice


Maple syrup


Fruit flavored syrup.


Honey.


Fresh fruit salad.


Canned pie filling.





Yum. My mouth is watering! I might have to make some today.Any great breakfast recipes for my friend who just opened A Bed %26amp; Breakfast?
The batter can be mixed in the food processor, and the whole thing comes out of the oven at once: no slaving away over a hot stove while the hordes clamor for their share! Egalitarian--and completely delicious.





Caramelized apples and tender cake make a fabulous combination, and the presentation is pretty, a factor if you have guests.





INGREDIENTS





1/2 (1/4 cup) stick unsalted butter


1 1/4 pounds firm, tart apples (about 3 medium), such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices


1/4 cup granulated sugar


1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon


3 large eggs


1/2 cup whole or lowfat milk


1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour


1/4 teaspoon salt


Confectioner鈥檚 sugar





1. Preheat oven to 425F. Melt butter over medium-high heat in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet. Add apples, granulated sugar, and cinnamon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to brown and most of the juices have evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.





2. Combine eggs, milk, flour, and salt in a food processor and process until smooth. (This can also be done with an electric mixer or by hand with a whisk.)





3. Spread the browned apples evenly across the bottom of the pan. Pout the batter over the apples. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the pancake is golden and puffed, 18 to 20 minutes.





4. Remove the pan from the oven and let the pancake rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioner鈥檚 sugar, cut into wedges, and serve immediately.





Serves 4-6.














Helpful Hints:


Be sure to use an all-metal ovenproof skillet to make this pancake; plastic or rubber handles will melt!

I went to a B%26amp;B years ago, and asked for their recipe for the DELICIOUS baked grapefruit they served in the morning. I don't usually like grapefruit, but this was incredible!!





Baked Grapefruit Halves





Prep: 15 minutes


Bake: 12 minutes





Ingredients


3 red grapefruit


1 large orange, peeled and sectioned


1 medium banana, sliced


1/3 cup orange- or lemon-flavored or regular pitted dried plums (prunes), coarsely snipped


2 tablespoons orange liqueur (optional)


1 tablespoon margarine or butter, cut into small pieces


2 tablespoons brown sugar


1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon





Directions


Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Halve each grapefruit; cut a very thin slice from the bottom of each half so grapefruit will sit flat. Use a grapefruit knife or other small knife to cut around the outer edge to loosen fruit from shell. Cut between each segment to loosen it from membrane.


In a bowl combine orange sections, banana slices, prunes, and if using, liqueur. Mound the orange mixture atop the grapefruit halves. Dot each half with margarine or butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over fruit mixture. Place in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 12 minutes or until grapefruit is warm and topping is hot. Makes 6 servings.

2 cups whole wheat flour


1/4 cup baking powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


2 eggs


2 cups milk


1/4 cup vegetable oil


2 large apple - peeled, cored and diced





1 cup butter


1 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup dark molasses








DIRECTIONS:


In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Pour in the milk, eggs and oil; stir just until smooth. Mix in the apple.


Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip and cook until browned on the other side.


To make the glaze, heat the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the molasses, brown sugar and vanilla. Serve warm spooned over pancake.
keep it simple. Not everyone likes a ';farmhand'; breakfast with all the trimmings. put out things like fresh breads, bagels, hot and cold cereal, fresh fruit, some hot dishes and cassaroles. You can go full out and set up omelette stations and grill stations. The more work the earlier you have to get up. You could hook up with a bakery and get the bread and some pasteries too.
