Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Feta Cheese and Brown Butter

Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Feta Cheese and Brown Butter

Chocolate Chips Pancakes

 
I made these decadent pancakes a few months ago on one of my more “down days”.  The kind of day when the only thing that would lift me up is a belly full of satisfaction!  Chocolate Chip Pancakes are the answer to any blue day!   Filled with oozing chocolate bits, swimming in savory browned butter and topped with creamy feta cheese….slurp!   We all have our sinful pleasures when it comes to food and this recipe tops my list. 
 
 
 

The recipe for the pancake batter comes from my favorite breakfast place in Colorado Springs, CO.  Wades Pancake House.  Wades began as a very small establishment and rapidly grew,  boasting two more restaurants in the Colorado Springs area. Unfortunately, after financial difficulties Wades closed it’s doors.  That was a sad day indeed! 

 

Several years later, as I was driving to my parents home I saw a familiar sign in a tiny strip mall….  Wades was back in business!  Oh happy day!  My mind was flooded with memories of Wades Green Chili Omelet, Strawberry Rolls Ups and you guessed it…Chocolate Chip Pancakes.  

It wasn’t long before I got the family together for a breakfast outing.  We ate all our favorite breakfast items, everyone taking turns tasting the others plate full of Wades best dishes. 

The owner of Wades was never willing to part with his recipe, so after years of experimentation this is as close as it gets to the real thing.

Recipe
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup 2% or whole milk
1 32 ounce bag semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 stick salted butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Mix dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, blend eggs and milk together in a separate bowl, combine and mix until blended.  

Heat a large griddle on medium high heat and add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, pour 1/4-1/2 cup of batter onto greased griddle (depending on the size of your pan, you may be able to cook 3 or 4 pancakes at one time) and top with a hand full of chocolate chips; when edges of pancake turn light brown flip and cook the other side, about 2-3 minutes. 

Brown Butter
In a medium sauce pan, melt butter on medium heat until light brown

Serve pancakes with browned butter, crumbled feta cheese and dust with powdered sugar. 

I like a steaming cup of coffee with my pancakes but a tall glass of cold milk is a terrific alternative beverage.

I still get together with my parents and brothers for the occasional, Wades Pancake House breakfast. Happy tummy, happy mommy!!

For the love of Alphabet noodles here’s a big bo For the love of Alphabet noodles here’s a big bowl of Alphabet Chicken  Corn Soup.

I like the noodles better than the broth so I make mine, noodle heavy! If you prefer more broth just add another 8 ounces liquid and more seasoning. 
RECIPE:
1 7-ounce package alphabet noodles
16 ounces chicken stock
1 cup chopped roasted chicken breast
1 chicken bullion cube
1/2 cup cooked frozen corn
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons butter

In a medium stock pot, bring chicken stock to a boil. Add bullion cube and stir until dissolved. Add alphabet noodles and stir. Cook until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn and chicken cubes. Mixture will be thick.

Add butter, salt and pepper. Stir until butter is melted. 

Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
ENJOY 😉

Shut the front door!! It worked! Old Fashioned Bak Shut the front door!! It worked! Old Fashioned Baked Apples made with canned cinnamon rolls and Orange Soda are DELICIOUS! The soda gives the sauce a beautiful Amber color, the perfect compliment to the tart apples. Just Heavenly! I’ll be making this again!

RECIPE:
3-4 small apples cored and cut in half
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls w icing)
1 cup butter, divided
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (12 fluid ounces) canned orange soda

1. Preheat oven 350F.
2. Grease large cast iron skillet
3. Cut apples in half and remove cores with a melon baller. Open cinnamon rolls and gently unwind until flat, on a pice of waxed paper.
Place another pieces of waxed paper over the dough. Using a rolling pin, gently roll dough so it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into equal squares.
4. Fill each apple with a dollop of butter then lay a piece of dough over the cut side and wrap apple in dough. The dough won’t reach around the entire Apple, this is fine. Place wrapped apples in cast iron pan
5. Melt butter and sugar in a small sauce pan. Add the orange soda and mix to combine. Pour warm mixture over apple dumplings.
6. Cover and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until Golden brown
Drizzle cooked apples with icing and serve warm.
ENJOY!!

I’m playing mad scientist in the kitchen today u I’m playing mad scientist in the kitchen today using up pantry items to make Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings. 
 
The recipe calls for crescent rolls but we ate those at Thanksgiving. Good news, I had a can of cinnamon rolls which I think will do the trick! The Recipe also calls for a can of Mountain Dew (TM) soda. I didn’t have that either so I’m substituting Sunkist Orange soda. That should work!? 

Risky?? Naw!

I’m excited because  they already smell divine! Stay tuned for the reveal.

My Meyer Lemons are plump and super juicy this yea My Meyer Lemons are plump and super juicy this year (trees have been in the ground and producing for three years). Sadly, the skins are imperfect this season.
I’m not sure if the tree is still to close to the ground and fruit is picking up dust or if Texas humidity had something to do with the defect? @chefpjcopithorne What’s your expert opinion? 

Despite their imperfections, they will make the most delicious Habanero Meyer Lemon Jelly and Lemon Curd. @lanzijosee Your care package will be sent out with a few jars of both this week. Their not beautiful but they taste amazing! #happycanning #meyerlemon #gardentotable #jelly #lemoncurd
