Pannekoeken!

Okay, so they’re not authentically Dutch, but this recipe was originally an Alton Brown recipe (with some alterations by yours truly), so I think that lends them some credibility. They also happen to be delicious and easy.

Whole-Wheat Pancakes

1 cup whole wheat flour
½ t baking powder
¼ t baking soda
½ t salt
1½ T sugar

1 large egg
1 cup milk
2 T butter, softened

Blend dry ingredients well, then mix in the other ingredients. Lightly grease a frying pan or griddle set to low-medium heat and pour ¼-cupfuls of batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles break on the surface, then flip; cook until undersides are golden brown.

Makes about 10.

Bad to Eat

Burnt Cookies

Note to file: Don’t try this recipe. It sucks. I’m an experienced baker (granted, with a dial oven and $2-pans), and I just wasted 3 dozen cookies’ worth of ingredients (you can see the mushiness of the top and blackness of the bottom, after just 6 minutes in the oven).

Whole Wheat Carrot Muffins

The other day I realized I needed snacks, and I looked through my fridge but all I could find were carrots and whole-wheat flour, so I took someone’s recipe, heavily modified it (originally there was pineapple in it, actually), and came out with these:

Here’s my recipe:

2 cups whole wheat flour
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

2 eggs
⅓ cup cooking oil
1 cup milk
1½ cup grated carrot

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix dry ingredients in one bowl, and the remaining ingredients in another. Stir just until blended and pour into muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes or so.
