We ran out of milk so being resourceful!

We ran out of milk so technically this isn’t drinking with breakfast. Technically I’m just making do the best I can.

It’s okay to have beer with breakfast when it’s lunch time, right?

A Good Cause

A good breakfast for a good cause.

Chef Schultzter’s Granny Cameron Pancakes

This pancake recipe comes from Patricia’s grandmother on her father’s side. They’re fluffy and light and go really well with Maple Syrup.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups flour (can use whole wheat)
• 2 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt (optional)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tbsp butter or shortening
• ¼ tsp vanilla (optional)

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together
2. Make sure the mix is consistent and there are no lumps
3. Heat the pan to a medium heat
4. Pour large drops into a non-stick or greased frying pan
5. Turn once during frying so both sides are golden

Serving

You can keep the pancakes warm in the oven while cooking them and then serve everyone at the same time. Garnish with maple syrup, cinnamon, or cake sprinkles!
And if you don’t finish the whole batch this breakfast, then put the left-overs into a freezer bag and save for another day. Just pop them in the toaster and they’re ready in no time.

Strata

Serves six to eight people as a main course

Ingredients

• loaf of Challah (egg) bread (about 12 slices)
• 4 cups of cheese (cheddar, mozza, gruyere, where ever you tastes take you)

• 1 tsp each salt, pepper, mustard powder
• 3 chopped leeks
• 1/2 cup red pepper (one should be enough)

• 9×13 pyrex dish (or a smaller-but-deeper oval dish, but then do more layers)

Directions

1. cook the bacon
   • I usually use the oven: put wax paper on a cookie sheet and lay out all 12 strips of bacon then bake at 350 until they’re done)
2. chop up the bacon, leeks, and peppers
3. shred the cheese
4. mix the egg, milk, & spices
5. grease the pyrex
6. layout a double-layer of bread, make sure layer is solid – fill gaps with bits of bread
7. cover with half the leeks, peppers, bacon, & cheese
8. put a single layer of bread, ditto
9. put the rest of the leeks, peppers, bacon, & cheese
10. slowly pour the egg & milk mixture into the pyrex starting from middle and moving outwards as necessary to get even coverage
11. refrigerate at least a three hours, preferably over night
12. bake at 350F for 1 hour
