Are there any good breakfast recipes out there?

So we all know the economy is bad and my family is already preparing for a small Christmas. In effort to save money and make more meaningful gifts, we agreed to make gifts for the holidays. This is where my question comes in.





My dad loves to cook. He also loves to pick up old family cookbooks at yard sales. He has plenty of these cookbooks and more dinner recipes than he could ever try but not so many breakfast recipes. My idea is to make him his own cookbook of breakfast items with great family recipes from all over. Anything from eggs, casseroles, breakfast sandwiches, to pancakes, waffles, muffins! If you have a great family breakfast recipe please share. Please include your name (first name only) and hometown so I can give you credit in the cookbook. And this will be for gift giving only - not to be sold.





Thanks!Are there any good breakfast recipes out there?
This is sooooo good and can feed a whole family. I usually make this with 1 lb. of sausage instead of ham, so you can use either one.

Hi,





What a good idea! My favorite is French toast. There's a recipe there:

There is also a link in the ';our friends'; section which links to a homemade gifts website which may be of interest to you. There's even a section on recipe scrap-booking.





My first name is Helma and I live in London, England.





Hope this helps.
I have tons of them! But to many to write here. So, here's some websites that i really really like:

banana pancakes with maple syrup





100g self raising flour


1 medium free-range egg


150ml milk


1 teaspoon sunflower oil


2 bananas


pure maple syrup





Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl and make a


well in the middle. Add the egg and slowly pour in the milk,


whisking constantly. Add the oil and whisk until completely


smooth. This batter mix can be made the night before


and kept in the refrigerator for an even quicker result.





Cut the bananas on the diagonal into thick slices. Make the


pancakes by greasing with butter the base of a frying pan. Once


the pan is hot pour in about 3 tablespoons batter, then top with


one of the sliced bananas. Once you see tiny bubbles and the batter


begins to firm up flip the banana pancake over with a spatula.


Cook on the other side for a minute or so.





Keep warm, loosely covered with foil, while you make


the other pancake.





To serve drizzle with warmed maple syrup.

Biscuits


.


Sift together 2C sifted self-rising flour, a scant 1/4t baking powder and 1/4t baking soda into a large mixing bowl. With a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut in 1/2C butter until it is the size of BB鈥檚. Make a well in the mixture, add 3/4C buttermilk and stir until just moistened. Turn out onto a floured board and knead 3 - 4 times--the more you mess with it, the tougher the biscuits. Roll to 3/4'; thick, cut with a 2'; biscuit cutter and bake on a lightly greased sheet @ 450 for 10 - 12 minutes. Brush with melted butter.
