A few days ago after returning home

I made some yummy white chocolate chip

with walnuts and lots of vanilla!

I made them with my version of the

famous Toll House recipe. 

Basically, I only use 1/2 cup of melted butter,

half the amount of chocolate chips, I grind up the 1 cup of walnuts until they are pulverized and

I increase the vanilla to 4 teaspoons.   

I figured that pulverizing the walnuts would release the walnut oil and replace the missing butter.

My sweetie prefers my version. 

Maybe you would too.....have a lovely day!

Recipe for this week: A Big Dutch Baby....yummy!

Some mornings call for a Dutch Baby

One of our family favorite breakfast treats is a puffy Dutch Baby.

Easy to do and quite tasty:

Dutch Baby

1/3 cup butter (80ml)

5 large or extra large eggs

1 cup milk (240ml)

1 cup flour (240ml)

Powdered sugar

lemon wedges

maple syrup

jam

Pre-heat oven to 425F or 220C

Put butter in a 9x13 inch baking dish or 9 inch cast iron skillet

and set in 425F oven to melt. While butter is melting put the eggs

in a blender and blend on high for 1 minute. Gradually add milk

while blending.Then slowly add flour and continue to blend for 30 sec.

Remove baking dish/skillet from oven once butter is melted and

pour the batter into the buttery hot skillet.
 Bake in oven for appx 20-25 min.

Or until puffy and nicely browned.
( this is quite similar to a Yorkshire Pudding)

Remove, cut into wedges and serve
 with powdered sugar and lemon wedges.

Or offer maple syrup and jam as alternative toppings.

Enjoy!
