SPICED APPLE PANCAKES WITH CIDER SYRUP

Oh......My.......Goodness! Excuse me for a short minute as I need to take a moment to lick the cider syrup off my lips.... (maybe even my chin too...lol) I received this recipe from a sweet friend, Camille. THANK YOU CAMILLE! In her email to me, she stated something to the effect that everyone who tries these pancakes gives rave reviews! Amen!!! I will also admit that the cider syrup will be used on everything I eat until it's gone!!! That stuff is sooooo good! Even my 'picky' ones ate it! And with no complaints at all! The pancakes are filled with puffy, fruity goodness... and the syrup....oh the syrup~~~ it's rich buttery flavor combined with the spicy cider spices~~~ Seriously, need I say more? Try them for yourself! Be the next to give rave reviews!

Pancakes

2 cups bisquick

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 2/3 cup milk

Beat until smooth then add in 3/4 cup grated apples (about 2 medium). Cook and serve with cider syrup...

(I did add about 1/4 cup bisquick for a thicker pancake.)

Cider Syrup

1 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

2 Tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Mix in a pan and stir in 2 cups Apple Cider (not apple juice). Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Blend in 1/4 cup butter.

**I used a 1/2 cup measuring cup for the pancakes and it made 9 large pancakes**

EAT... enjoy... Smile:-)

Happy Cooking

**German Pancakes**

My family absolutely loves the whole concept of "Breakfast for Dinner".... I always find it strange how excited they get when I tell them we're having breakfast! And they eat and eat and eat like there's no tomorrow! I have an allergy to eggs so I'm no longer able to enjoy German pancakes but they're soooo easy and so worth making just to watch everyone enjoy them so much. And this is also a wonderful way to use my crazy supply of eggs (thank you chickens!). We love watching them rise and there have never been any two that turn out the same. The kids call these "mountain pancakes" because that's what they resemble when they come out of the oven before they settle. * I don't always make the syrup but it is wonderful if you have an extra minute to throw it together! *

6 eggs

1 cup milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Buttermilk Syrup:

1 1/2 cups sugar

3/4 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup butter or margarine

2 Tablespoons corn syrup

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Place the eggs, milk, flour and salt in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Pour the butter into an ungreased 13x9x2 baking dish; add the batter. Bake, uncovered, at 400 for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the first five syrup ingredients; bring to a boil. Boil for 7 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Yields: 8 servings & about 2 cups syrup...
