FANNIE FARMER GRIDDLECAKES

Steps:

• Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the beaten egg and melted butter and stir vigorously, adding more milk, if necesary, to make the batter just thin enough to pour. Drop by spoonfuls or pour from pitcher onto heated and greased griddle or frying pan using medium heat. When full of bubbles and the underside is browned, turn and brown the other side. Serve with maple syrup and additional butter.

FANNIE FARMER'S CLASSIC BAKED MACARONI & CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cook and drain macaroni according to package directions; set aside.
• In a large saucepan melt butter.
• Add flour mixed with salt and pepper, using a whisk to stir until well blended.
• Pour milk and cream in gradually; stirring constantly.
• Bring to boiling point and boil 2 minutes (stirring constantly).
• Reduce heat and cook (stirring constantly) 10 minutes.
• Add shredded cheddar little by little and simmer an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
• Turn off flame.
• Add macaroni to the saucepan and toss to coat with the cheese sauce.
• Transfer macaroni to a buttered baking dish.
• Sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
• Bake 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.
• (You can also freeze this recipe in zip-lock bags for later use - once you have mixed the macaroni along with the cheese sauce allow to cool to room temperature before adding to your freezer - I generally pull it out the night before and allow macaroni and cheese to reach room temperature; I then add the macaroni and cheese to a buttered baking dish, sprinkle with bread crumbs and then bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown on top and bubbling.

OATMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Warm the milk in the microwave or on the stove.
• Pour milk over the oatmeal.
• Let sit 10 minutes or until cool. (If not cool enough after 10 minutes, put in fridge for a few minutes.).
• Once cooled, mix in flour, melted butter, honey, egg yolk, salt & baking powder. Don't overwork batter, just mix until there are no large chunks or clumps. Batter should be thick enough to slowly run off a lifted spoon. If it falls of spoon in clumps, add milk or water 1 tablespoon at a time. If it runs off quickly, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
• In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until light and frothy.
• Slowly fold the egg whites into the batter by hand, mixing only enough to get it mainly incorporated - the more you mix at this point, the denser your pancakes will be.
• Cook on a greased hot griddle. Serve immediately.
• Makes 16 silver dollar pancakes or 8 medium pancakes.
