Cooking Time:5 – 7 minutes
Portion:Serves 4 (12 pancakes total)

Ingredients – Lemon Sauce

Sugar1 cup
Corn Starch2 Tablespoons
Water2 cups
Butter4 Tablespoons
Lemon peel, grated2 – 3 Tablespoons (or 1 teaspoon lemon oil)
Lemon juice¼ cup (fresh)

Ingredients – Spice Pancakes

Flour2 cups
Oats (regular, not instant)½ cup
Sugar1 Tablespoon
Baking powder2 teaspoons
Baking soda1 teaspoon
Ginger2 teaspoons
Ground cinnamon1 teaspoon
Ground nutmeg½ teaspoon
Ground cloves¼ teaspoon
SaltPinch

Eggs2 large, separated
Buttermilk2 cups
Butter, melted4 Tablespoons
Molasses2 teaspoons

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

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

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup mayonnaise

3/4 cup sour cream

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350.

Grease a bundt pan well.

In a large mixing bowl, place all ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and mix on low speed of mixer until well blended. Once blended, beat on medium for two minutes.

Add chocolate chips and mix them in to the batter well.

Place batter in the greased bundt pan.

Bake for 55 minutes (or until tester comes out clean).

Let cool before putting on serving plate.

Serves 12

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. If a guest stays in all eight, we'll present them with a gift certificate that can be redeemed at the eighth stay for $150.  Book your reservations at Bed and Breakfast Foodie.
