Sorghum Molasses and Ginger Pancakes

The hardest part of a hurricane, in my mind, is getting back to normal after the storm is over, and the power is back on. This recipe came from staring into a half empty pantry and grabbing what was handy. After a storm things in the pantry seem to be a mess, from taking things out by flashlight and tossing them back where ever they land.

Begin by combining:

1 cup baking mix

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon softened butter

1/2 cup milk

3 tablespoons sorghum molasses

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon lemon extract

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon ginger

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Stir until combined, but don't over mix.

Heat your griddle over low heat. The high sugar content will cause them to burn easily. These are a little tricky, turn a little earlier than normal.

Top with butter, maple syrup, or if you like bolder flavor, a drizzle of molasses.

Enjoy.

Scrambled Eggs

I was talking to my friend Erica at the Crumby Kitchen blog, about the most searched recipes on Google. A lot of the searches were for very basic recipes. Mention scrambled eggs, and you will get a hundred different ideas, most of them with a strong opinion. You should add milk or cream, never add milk or cream, high heat or low heat, everyone has their own ideas. This is my version, which has been enjoyed by many.
The first step is choosing a pan. I use two different types in my kitchen, cast iron and stainless steel. Both produce excellent results. With a well seasoned cast iron pan, the key is to preheat it. I place mine in the oven and preheat at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes. Cast iron is a poor conductor of heat, but an excellent retainer of heat. Once preheated the cooking surface stays warm for a long time. CAUTION should be used when removing the pan from the oven. Remember it is 325 degrees hot and will cause serious burns without using a pot holder or handle cover. Plac…

Individual Peach Cobbler

This is one my favorite times of year. Georgia peaches are in season. It is my favorite fruit. If I am going through Georgia on I 75, I will buy a box at Lanes Orchards. Sweet and juicy, they go with everything. This is a quick cobbler that is a perfect dessert served in mini cast iron pan.

With a floured rolling pin, flatten to about an eighth of an inch thick. Cut two squares to fit the bottom of your pan.
