Oatmeal Pancakes

2 C rolled oats 
1 C Bisquick
cinnamon


Place oatmeal and a few dashes of cinnamon in a bowl.  Pour boiling water over oats and keep covered for 5 min. Add Bisquick then slowly add water and stir until batter just barely drops off the spoon. Heat pan and drop batter. It will need to be spread slowly into the size cake you want. Cook  thoroughly or they will be doughy. Flip cake when brown and almost crusty.


Serve drizzled with peanut or almond butter and syrup. Another option is to add a handful of raisins to the oatmeal before covering with hot water.


Makes 6-8 pancakes

Sweet Potato Hash

 1    Onion
 1    Apple
 1    Sweet Potato
2Tbs  Oil
Salt, pepper

Chop potato, apple, onion and keep seperate.  Heat oil in frying pan.  Add sweet potato, brown and fry for 5 minutes. Add onion and cook for another 5 minutes. Add apple and cook for another 3 minutes.
  
Salt and pepper to taste. This dish is very tasty with a heavy amount of pepper.

I usually serve this topped with 2 fried eggs but it's also very good served just with bacon or sausage. 

      
The Perfect Fried Egg
I love eggs.  Scrambled, poached, doesn't matter but I've never been able to cook them consistantly until I found an article in Cook's Illustrated  July/Aug 2013 on how to properly make a fried egg.  For all those frustrated egg lovers out there.

1. Heat oil in 12 - 14 inch nonstick skillet over low heat for 5 min. Meanwhile, crack 2 eggs into a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining two eggs in another seperate small bowl. 

2. Increase heat to medium-high and heat until oil is shimmering. Add 1tsp butter to skillet and quickly swirl to coat pan. Working quickly, pour 1 bowl of eggs into half the pan and the second bowl to the other side. Cover immediately and cook for one minute. Remove skillet from burner and let stand covered for 30 - 45 seconds for smooth, over easy yolk and 45 - 60 sec for a soft, well set yolk.

Slide eggs onto plate and serve.

Seen served with Cast Iron Cornbread   
2 eggs
2 pieces bread
2 tbsp oil or bacon grease
1 tsp butter

Heat pan with oil and prepare the bread by cutting a hole in the center.  When pan is hot, add  butter and swirl then add your bread into the pan and break the  egg into the hole. 

Cook about  a minute and a half then flip.  The whites take a bit longer to cook with this method.  Cook eggs as well done as you like. 

Excellent way to prepare eggs in rough weather.
