Apple Pancakes with Cider Syrup

Amy found this recipe I thought I would share it with you guys.

2 cups complete pancake mix
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup grated apple
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Cider Syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup apple cider or juice
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp. butter, cubed

In a small bowl, stir the pancake mix, water, apple and cinnamon until just moistened. Pour batter by 1/4 cupful onto a greased hot griddle.

Meanwhile, for syrup, in a small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and cinnamon. Stir in cider until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cook and sitr 2 minutes longer. Stir in butter and lemon juice. Serve with pancakes.

Layer in a 9x13 pan in this order:

6 c of frozen potatoes, 8 eggs mixed with 2 cans of evaporated milk,
2 cups of ham, sausage, or bacon, 3 c cheese.

Set in the fridge overnight, bake at 350 for 55 minutes. She has made it with regular milk, and at times it has not set in the fridge overnight and worked fine.

Creamy Vanilla Syrup

Note: this recipe is from DeAnn's Golden Pinwheels recipe, but I found that it is great over pancakes (see raisin bran pancakes recipe) and easy to make.

Creamy Vanilla Syrup
1 ½ cups sugar
4 TBSP Flour
2 cups water
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
Combine Sugar, flour and water in pan. Stir over medium heat until thickened. (Or microwave in large bowl). Add butter and vanilla. Stir until butter is melted.
May also add chopped fresh or dried apples and/or cinnamon for an even better topping.

Raisin Bran Microwave muffins and pancakes

I am still working on perfecting this recipe, but wanted to share it even though it may not yet be quite there yet.

4 C Boiling water
1 (15 oz) box Raisin Bran Cereal
1 C Oil or shortening
4 eggs
1 1/2 C Sugar
1 qt buttermilk or 1 qt plain yogurt or 1 qt water +3/4 C dry milk + 2 Tbl lemon Juice
5 C. flour
5 tsp baking soda

Combine boiling water and cereal and let it sit while you gather additional ingredients. Then add additional ingredients and mix. Store in the refrigerator up to 6 weeks.

To microwave pancakes, spoon 1/2 Cup onto a small plate and then microwave for 1 min for a wonderful easy pancake ( If the middle is not cooked put it back in or try spooning the batter in an O shape leaving the middle empty). Repeat to make additional plates of pancakes.

To make microwave muffins fill silicon cups 1/2 full and bake according to the following directions:

2 muffins bake at 1/2 power for 1 min then full power 30 sec
4 muffins bake at 1/2 power for 2 min then full power for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes
6 muffins bake at 1/2 power for 4 1/2 min then full power for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes

May also make pancakes on the stove or muffins in the oven bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
