The Big Fluffy Pancake!

Ingredients: (I double this recipe for my own family of 5)


6 Large Eggs

1 Cup of Milk

1 Cup of Flour

1 Tsp of Vanilla

½ Tsp of Salt

¼ Cup or less of Sugar (I use very little)

2 Tbs of Butter

Powdered Sugar for sprinkling

Maple Syrup and Butter for the table

Preheat oven to 400.

Whisk eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Don’t worry about getting all the lumps out. Melt butter in the large skillet you plan to put in the oven, pour the batter into the skillet and place in the oven. Bake for 20-22 minutes (even if you’ve doubled the recipe)! Remove from the oven and carefully slide the pancake onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with the powdered sugar and serve immediately! Simple and delicious.

We enjoy our pancake with butter and maple syrup. You could also drizzle chocolate over cut up strawberries.

Seafood Chowder (12 Servings)

½ Cup of Butter melted in large pot.

Add ½ cup of minced onion and cook on low heat until soft.

Add liquid from two 7 oz cans of clams, lobster or other seafood

Add 4 plus cups of finely diced potatoes

Add 1 plus cup of boiling water

Cook until potatoes are tender – 10 minutes or so.

In the meantime…

Saute 1 lb or more of lobster pieces (frozen, fresh or frozen canned)

in ¼ pound of butter. Slowly add a bit of light cream to the sauté.

Do not boil or fry the lobster. Once lobster is cooked, add the sauté and lobster to the pot of chowder.

Two 7 ounce cans of minced clams

1 lb plus of white fish (haddock or cod) cut in pieces

½ lb of chopped scallops

2 Cups of Milk, 1 Cup of Light Cream, 1 Can of Evaporated Milk

1 chicken bouillon cube

Salt and Pepper to taste

Parsley and your favorite spices

Heat until fish is tender. Do not bring to a boil. For a thicker chowder, mash a ½ cup of the cubed cooked potatoes before adding to pot.

Enjoy!
