Thread: sunday morning breakfast!

Strange...I have a sudden craving for flapjacks with real maple syrup.

the stove top will be its final resting place when i get to the point daily pain, or weakness, for i too know that one day ii will get to that day sooner than later! but for now its no problem for me to move them big suckers around

thebigspendur ohhhh real maple syrup, so good, this time of year we can and do tap the maple's in our back yard, and boil our own down! sooo good! but we won't be getting anymore sap to boil soon as we are now get to nights in the plus temps which stops the the sap from running!

Everything sounds delicious in this thread.

All I eat for breakfast is hard-boiled eggs and sometimes some leftover baked chicken from last night....followed by a 900mg pill of purified fish oil, a crealkaline pill, and then some arsenal x.

I'll throw in a slice of whole wheat bread for some carbs here and there, but for the most part is focuses on the eggs and supplements.

1 1/2 cups of flour
2 cups of milk
1 pinch of salt
3 tablespoons of sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter

thats it thats all folks,
the best way to enjoy them is with raspberry jam, stack 3 or 4 high and put jam in between them! i find that if you use a cast iron fry pan you get the best results, if oil is needed on the pan, pure lard is the way to go(you don't need much) and also if you use a 1/3 cup measure to pour the batter into the pan, if the mixture is right it should give you a 1/8" to 3/16" thick pancake that is about 6"-8" in diameter!

enjoy

As a suggestion, try taking a third egg white, beat till soft peaks form and fold in. It really lightens up the pancakes.

Our maple season ended already. It was probably one of the shortest in recent memory. Prices have already skyrocketed, as the syrup is in such short supply.

I must say, tapping and boiling down your own maple, has a reward not so dissimilar to honing your own blade, and the first time you taste it, is like the first time you did a str8 shave. Just such a feeling of satisfaction, and a small amount of pride. I know you guys understand what I'm talking about.

magpie you can leave the skillets on the stove and make tea in the coffee maker as well that way you dont need a tea pot

Naaaa, I perk my coffee, or occasionally opt for the french press. Which brings up the next finer things topic.

french press is nice to have when your camping.....that way you dont get stuck having cowboy coffee

I got hungry reading this thread. Lucky for me my local grocery store has started selling maple syrup after I moved back to Norway.
