Good
morning and
welcome to your Wednesday edition of A to Z Recipes Newsletter.
Goodness sakes its c-h-i-l-l-y outside! Yes, yes, I
know. You love snow. But 14 inches of it is not loveable, friends.
We're fortunate here in my part of Texas as we've been spared weather
like that lately, but it is much colder than many prefer. And poor
Florida! Those folks have truly had windy and chilly conditions. Many
Floridians moved there to get away from it!!! Sort of funny as I'm
considering retiring to someplace where heat, mosquitoes and hurricanes
are a memory. But, to be honest, I'm loving our cold weather!!! How's
this for global warming? Woo-hoo!
The current Monthly Theme topic is Make Mine Chocolate, Please!.
I'm hopeful for a good issue this time around as so many of you love
chocolate. Please visit the Monthly Theme - Recipe Submissions
section to read all about it. You'll find the link there to use for
sharing recipes here at A to Z Recipes.
We'll see you here again on Sunday, God willing. Right now, here's Patricia from Charlevoix, MI
for our "First Wednesday" issue...
"Pancake: n. A thin cake
made of batter
that is poured onto a hot greased surface and cooked on both sides
until brown. What the dictionary doesn't mention is how versatile a
pancake is; great for breakfast, delicious for lunch, an easy, in a
hurry, supper and a yummy dessert. And, an upcoming calendar event,
Shrove Tuesday, a day of pancakes also known as Fat Tuesday, is
February 16th. A day when homemakers rid the house of fats and sugars
in preparation for Lent."

Paczki (Poounski) Day
In Poland, Paczki are eaten especially on Fat Thursday (the last
Thursday before Lent). Many Polish Americans celebrate Paczki Day on
Fat Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday). Traditionally, the reason
for making Paczki was to use up all the lard, sugar, eggs and fruit in
the house, which are forbidden during Lent.
Though not a pancake, but technically a donut, I have to put this
recipe in for Shrove Tuesday. Mainly because it's my very favorite,
especially when it's filled with yummy custard.
POLISH PACZKI
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup (5 1/3 tablespoons) butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 whole egg
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon brandy
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 gallon oil for deep frying
Granulated sugar (optional)
Confectioner's sugar (optional)
Fruit paste for filling (optional)
Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl, cream
together butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in whole egg, then egg
yolks one at a time. Add brandy, dissolved yeast and salt. Beat until
well mixed. If using a stand mixer, switch to the dough hook attachment
and add flour gradually to make a stiff dough. Knead on low speed until
smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. If kneading by hand, knead for
about 10 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise
until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Turn dough out onto lightly
floured surface. Pat or roll to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut rounds with
3-inch biscuit cutter. Remove scraps and re-roll and re-cut. Cover and
let rounds rise until doubled in bulk, 30 minutes or longer. Heat oil
to 375 degrees in large pot or Dutch oven. Fry paczki a few at a time 2
to 3 minutes or until bottom is golden brown. Flip them over and fry
another 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain paczki on paper
towels and sprinkle with granulated sugar while still warm. Note: You
can poke a hole in the side of the paczki and, using a pastry bag
squeeze in a dollop of the filling of choice. Then dust filled paczki
with granulated sugar, confectioners' sugar or glaze.

Some
Tasty International Pancakes
Brought to you by Will
and Steve
USA: We believe that American style pancakes are particularly thick or
fluffy, and best served with Vermont maple syrup and butter. Some
American cooks add a little vanilla, while others add blueberries.
Canada: Canadian pancakes are moister than American ones but still
served with maple syrup.
China: Chinese pancakes are fried in sesame oil and are apparently
superb with duck.
Finland: Finnish pancakes are ideal for people with a sweet tooth,
these should be served with jam, whipped cream, berries, cinnamon and
sugar, honey or maple syrup.
France: Will can support the fact that the French excel at crepes
[sweet] and galettes [savory] and often served with with a bowl of
local cider.
Germany: The Germans tend to make apple pancakes which are baked in the
oven. They also have 'Puff' pancakes, which look like English
'Yorkshire Puddings'.
India: Indian pancakes sound scrummy; savory pancakes are prepared with
ginger, garlic and cayenne. Mung beans may also be part of the recipe.
Italy: Calzonia are common in Italy, they are more like an enclosed
pizza than an English pancake.
Mexico: The renowned Mexican pancake equivalent is the wheat tortilla;
Will has also eaten them made from maize [cornmeal].
Netherlands: 'Flensjes' are crepe cakes, usually made with apples and
occasionally rhubarb.
Nigeria: Nigerian pancakes are often served with beans, tomatoes and
shrimp, making a complete meal.
Norway: 'Krumkakes' are thin, crisp, cone-shaped cookie-like crepes,
often served at Christmas. They are sometimes made with a special flat
iron which leaves a decorative pattern.
Poland: Will and Guy's friend, Kinga Sadkowska, tells them that Polish
pancakes, 'Nalesniki', are thin crepes which are usually served with a
special cottage cheese filling. Lovely.
Russia: The regular Russian the pancake of choice is the 'blini': which
is small and thick, ideal with sour cream or caviar.

Historically,
Shrove Tuesday also marked the beginning of the 40-day Lenten fasting
period when the faithful were forbidden by the church to consume meat,
butter, eggs or milk. However, if a family had a store of these foods
they all would go bad by the time the fast ended on Easter Sunday. What
to do?
Solution: use up the milk, butter and eggs no later than Shrove
Tuesday. And so, with the addition of a little flour, the solution
quickly presented itself in... pancakes. And lots of 'em.
Today, the Shrove Tuesday pancake tradition lives on throughout Western
Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia, but is most associated
with the UK where it is simply known as Pancake Day with a traditional
recipe, although these can be as varied in the UK as there are British
households.
In France, (as well as here in the US - or more famously - in New
Orleans) it's known as Fat Tuesday which kicks off the Mardi Gras
festival with wild celebrations just before the austere Lenten season.
In Sweden, Fat Tuesday translates to Fettisdagen, and in Lithuania it's
Uzgavens. In Poland, traditional celebrations take place on a Thursday
a week before Ash Wednesday and so it's Tlusty Czwartek, or Fat
Thursday.

MARY
offered to
care for the eight-year-old daughter of neighbors who were going away
for the weekend. On the Saturday morning, she made breakfast, laying a
generous helping of bacon and eggs in front of the child. "Mummy always
serves hot pancakes for breakfast," said the eight-year-old.
So Mary, very eager to oblige, hurried into the kitchen and quickly
prepared a plate of hot pancakes, which she laid in front of the girl.
"No, thank you," she said.
"But I thought you said your mother always has hot pancakes for
breakfast!" said Mary in surprise.
"She does," said the child. "But I don't eat them!"
A WOMAN goes to a psychiatrist. She says, "My friends said I had to
come see you. They think I have a problem."
The psychiatrist says, "Why do they think that?"
"Well," the woman replies. "Because, I like pancakes."
"That's not a problem," the psychiatrist responds. "I love pancakes!"
"Really?!" the woman exclaims. "Then you should come to my house, I
have a whole attic full!"
WHEN THE WAITRESS puts the waffles on the table the old men look at the
waffles and drool.
The young men drool while looking at the waitress.

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder

flour, and mix until the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the eggs and
vanilla. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least
12 hours, even longer if possible. Waffle batter will double. Heat the

and almond extract until blended. Melt butter in a large ovenproof
skillet over moderate heat. Remove the skillet from the heat and pour
in the batter, tilting to cover the bottom of the pan evenly.
Immediately place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until puffed
and golden brown. Transfer pancake to a serving plate, spread with the
marmalade and dust with the confectioners' sugar; serve immediately.
CONFETTI PANCAKES
1 quart (4 cups) buttermilk pancake batter, prepared
2 cups assorted confetti colored M&Ms
2 cups fresh whipped cream
Confetti colored sprinkles, for ice cream or cookies
Spoon buttermilk pancake batter onto hot cooking surface into 2
1/2-inch diameter pancakes or use a 1/4 cup measuring cup not quite
full and pour batter onto hot cooking surface. Immediately drop 3-5
M&Ms semi-evenly throughout each pancake. As the batter warms
up it will thin and spread out to 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
Turn the pancakes when they become dry around the edges and /or there
are bubbles in the middle. You may lift an edge to peek at the color,
these pancakes should be golden brown when ready to turn, turn. Cook
another 1- 1 1/2 minutes on the second side, again peek for color, if
done, flip again so that the M&Ms will be showing the most now
on the top side, slide your pancake turner under the pancake one last
time and gently slide onto a warmed platter colorful side up. You may
plate all of the pancakes on one large platter to garnish and serve
family style or individually plate, garnish and serve.

BUCKWHEAT
PANCAKES
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/2 cup all-purpose (plain) flour
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup sparkling water
3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites, canola oil and milk. In
another bowl, combine the flours, baking powder and sugar. Add the egg
white mixture and the sparkling water and stir until slightly moistened.
Place a nonstick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. When a drop of
water sizzles as it hits the pan, spoon 1/2 cup pancake batter into the
pan. Cook until the top surface of the pancake is covered with bubbles
and the edges are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until
the bottom is well browned and the pancake is cooked through, 1 to 2
minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter. Transfer the
pancakes to individual plates. Top each with 1/2 cup sliced
strawberries and serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO WAFFLES
Syrup:
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tablespoons water, if using fresh berries
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon dark honey
3 tablespoons light molasses
Pinch of ground cloves
Pancakes:
1/3 cup peeled and diced sweet potato, or 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
3/4 cup all-purpose (plain) flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat (whole-meal) flour
1/4 cup cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup plain soy milk (soya milk)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 egg white
To make the syrup, in a saucepan, combine the blueberries, water (if
using), lemon juice and zest, honey, 1 tablespoon of the molasses, and
cloves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to
low, cover and simmer until the berries burst and the juices are
slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Frozen berries may take slightly
longer to thicken. Set aside and keep warm.
If using sweet potato, bring a small saucepan half full of water to a
boil. Add the sweet potato, return to a boil, then reduce the heat to
medium-low and simmer until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and
puree in a food processor or mash with a potato masher until smooth.
Set aside. If using pumpkin puree, reserve.
In a small bowl, sift together the flours, cornmeal, baking powder,
salt, cinnamon and ginger. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy
milk, sweet potato puree, olive oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons
molasses. Add the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg white until stiff
peaks form. Make sure that the mixing bowl and beaters are spotlessly
clean and free of fat. Even a small amount of fat, such as egg yolk or
oil, can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Once whipped,
gently whisk 1/3 of the egg white into the batter to lighten it. Using
a rubber spatula, gently fold the remaining egg white into the batter,
mixing just until incorporated.
Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 225 F. Preheat a waffle
iron. Spoon or ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the waffle iron,
depending on the size of the iron. Spread evenly and cook according to
the manufacturer's instructions. If the batter thickens, thin with a
little soy milk. Transfer the waffle to the baking sheet in the oven to
keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 6 waffles. Serve
topped with the syrup.

PUMPKIN PANCAKES
2 cups baking mix, such as Bisquick
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 can (5 ounces) evaporated fat-free milk
1/2 cup canned solid pack pumpkin
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Maple syrup (optional)
Combine the baking mix, brown sugar and pie spice in a large bowl; mix
well. Stir in the milk, pumpkin, eggs and oil, mixing until the dry
ingredients are completely moistened.
Lightly grease the griddle or skillet with oil. Heat the griddle over
medium heat until hot. For 4-inch pancakes, pour a scant 1/4 cup batter
onto the hot griddle. Turn the pancakes when the tops are covered with
bubbles and the edges look cooked. Cook the second sides until golden
brown. Serve warm with maple syrup, if desired.
Tip: Pancakes can be made into jack-o'-lanterns by using dried
cranberries or raisins for the face. Immediately after pouring batter
onto griddle, arrange fruit to make eyes, nose and crooked mouth before
batter sets up. Proceed as directed.

PANCAKES
FOR TWO
thank you Linda
1 egg
3 tablespoons oil
Milk to make one full cup
1 scant cup flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
Put egg and oil in a one cup measuring cup. Add enough milk to fill
cup. Pour into a bowl and beat. Add sugar and baking powder and enough
flour to make a soft dough. Stir only enough to mix. Heat pan or
griddle and cook on both sides.
Note: Linda found this recipe in an old cookbook “Everybody's
Favorite”by the Minnesota Catholic Daughters of America.
BLUEBERRY PANCAKES
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (optional)
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Combine buttermilk, oil and egg; stir into dry ingredients and mix
well. Fold in blueberries if desired. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a
lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes.
Cook until second side is golden brown.
PUFFED PANCAKE WITH FRUIT SALAD
1 1/4 cups mixed fresh fruit
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom
3 large eggs, separated
1/3 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoons orange zest
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Prepare the fruit salad: Toss the fruit, corn syrup, and 1/8 teaspoon
cardamom together in a medium bowl. Cover and chill. Make the puffed
pancake: Preheat oven to broil. Whisk together the egg yolks, cream,
and juice. Whisk in sugar, butter, zest, salt, vanilla, and remaining
cardamom. Sprinkle the flour, while constantly whisking, over the egg
mixture until mixture is smooth. Beat the egg whites to soft peaks and
fold into batter. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Pour the batter into the pan and cook until the mixture begins to set
around the edges -- about 3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven
and broil until pancake is golden brown.
BELGIUM WAFFLES
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Mixed berries (optional)
In medium-size bowl, with fork, combine flour, sugar, baking powder,
and salt. In small bowl, combine milk, egg yolks, and melted butter.
Stir into flour mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Batter should be somewhat lumpy. In small bowl, with electric mixer at
high speed, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into waffle
batter just until blended. Heat Belgian waffle maker over medium-high
heat following manufacturer's directions. Coat grids with nonstick
vegetable-oil cooking spray and ladle 1 cup batter over hot waffle
iron, spreading to cover most of grid. Close lid and cook, turning
waffle iron over once, until steam stops -- 4 to 6 minutes. Remove
waffle to serving plate; repeat with remaining batter. Wrap waffles in
aluminum foil and refrigerate or freeze if making ahead.
If waffles are made ahead, place them, loosely wrapped in foil,
directly on grill rack, or unwrap waffles and heat in ungreased skillet
over medium-hot coals. Heat until warm, turning once, about 1 to 2
minutes. To serve, cut each waffle into quarters and top with mixed
berries, if desired.

The chocolates I make are chocolate center truffles and butter cream
centers of various flavors, such as raspberry, lemon, lime, orange,
strawberry, etc. I use various liqueurs, such as Kahlua,
Kahlua-Hazelnut, Chambord, Baileys, cognac, rum, etc in some of them.

Dilly Core
If you like Dill Pickles, then you would love the "Dilly Core", the
Dill Pickle Corer to make Stuffed Dill Pickles. Uncle Bill, another a2z
family member designed the corer specifically for Dill Pickles so it is
much smaller than an apple corer that often destroys a pickle. Uncle
Bill will also include his flavorful famous Dill Pickle Stuffing recipe
in every order. The "Dilly Core" is made from Stainless Steel, so it is
dishwasher safe and will not rust or tarnish. It may also be used to
core fresh cucumbers so that stuffing can be added. In addition, the
"Dilly Core" can be used to core roasts so that the cored out section
can be stuffed with your favorite herbs or spices. Contact him using
this special link: Dilly
Core. I love my Dilly Core and know you will find dozens of
uses for it in your kitchen, too.
