The Beechmont Inn Bed & Breakfast
Hanover, PA
Karen White
Cooking Temp:
Medium hot griddle for pancakes
Cooking Time:
5 – 7 minutes
Portion:

Serves 4 (12 pancakes total)
Ingredients – Lemon Sauce
Lemon peel, grated
2 – 3 Tablespoons (or 1 teaspoon lemon oil)
Ingredients – Spice Pancakes
Oats (regular, not instant)
½ cup
Baking powder
2 teaspoons
Ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon
Ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon
Butter, melted

4 Tablespoons
First, make the lemon sauce. In a small pan, mix one cup of sugar with 2 Tbsp of corn starch. Add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and add 4 Tbsp butter, 2 – 3 Tbsp grated lemon peel, and ¼ cup lemon juice. Stir until the butter melts.
Then, combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and spices in a large bowl and whisk to blend.
For lighter pancakes, separate eggs and beat egg whites in a deep bowl on high speed until they hold moist peaks.
Beat egg yolks in a medium bowl with buttermilk, butter, sugar, and molasses. Add to flour and spices. Mix until blended. Add whipped egg whites to the mixture by folding them gently into the batter until combined.
Cook on a buttered griddle over medium heat by pouring out enough batter to form pancakes about 4 inches in diameter. Cook until the tops are full of bubbles and then flip and cook for another 2 – 3 minutes until golden brown.
Serve immediately with warm lemon sauce and your favorite bacon or sausage.

Triple Chocolate Cake
The William Henry Miller Inn
Ithaca, New York
Lynnette Scofield
Bed and Breakfast Foodie
Back in the 1970's, Bon Appetit magazine published this recipe for Triple Chocolate Cake. I'm so sorry that I haven't kept a log of the number of these I've made since it has to be in the high hundreds.
Every night at The William Henry Miller Inn, we serve a dessert buffet for our guests. This is easily one of the favorites of all the items we serve. The mayonnaise and sour cream help to keep this moist and delicious!
The original recipe called for toasted almonds and Amaretto but we have tweaked it a bit due to so many nut allergies.
Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
1 package (18.25 ounce) chocolate cake mix
1 package (1.7 ounce) instant chocolate pudding
4 large eggs
1/2 cup water

3/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS

Special offer from the 8 Broads in a Kitchen:
If anyone stays with us and mentions "Three Tomatoes" when they reserve, we'll present them with a mug from our Inn (where ever they stay) filled with cherry tomatoes! (Or maybe homemade granola.....) Then at each successive Inn, a gift reminiscent of that Inn.
