CHRISTINA'S BEER AND ONION PANCAKES WITH MAPLE WALNUT BEER SYRUP

Steps:

• To make the pancakes: Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk the beer, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the onions and butter. Add the biscuit mix, cinnamon, and nutmeg and stir just to combine. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to make the syrup: Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring. Remove from heat and keep warm.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat it well. Working in batches, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook until browned on the bottom and bubbles begin to form on the top. Turn the pancakes and cook until browned on the bottom. Add more butter between batches as needed. Serve immediately, with the syrup.

DUCK CONFIT WITH GREEN ONION PANCAKES AND HOISIN MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• For the confit duck legs: Crush the peppercorns and cloves with the side of a knife and rub, along with the salt, onto the duck legs. Press the garlic slices onto each duck leg. Break the bay leaves in half and press a half onto each piece of duck. Place the duck into a nonreactive container, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees F.
• Rinse the duck under cold water and pat dry. Place the duck legs in a 6-quart stockpot and completely submerge them in duck fat. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat on the stovetop and then place uncovered in the oven. Cook until the legs are completely tender and have settled on the bottom of the pot and the fat has become clear, 6 to 10 hours.
• Remove the duck legs from the oven and let them cool to room temperature in the pot.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Once cooled, remove the legs from the fat and place them in a baking pan in the oven, with the skin-side down. Roast until the legs are warmed through and the skin is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the green onion pancakes and hoisin maple syrup: Combine the flour salt and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Then gently fold the buttermilk and eggs into the dry ingredients. Heat a frying pan to medium-high heat and scoop the batter onto the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Top with top with chopped green onions.
• For the hoisin maple syrup: Warm 1 part hoisin with 3 parts maple syrup in a small saucepan.
• For the arugula salad: Mix the sesame oil and lemon juice in a large bowl and toss with the arugula.
• To assemble, stack 2 green onion pancakes on a plate, top with duck confit and eggs any style if desired. Drizzle your pancakes and duck confit with the hoisin maple syrup and top with a handful of dressed arugula. Garnish with sesame seeds.

SLAMMIN' SWEDISH MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then add the bread crumbs. Put the meat, salt, pepper, allspice, cayenne, and parsley into a medium-sized bowl. Add the bread crumb mixture and mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Add the beaten egg and combine well. Using a heaping teaspoon of the meat mixture, begin forming small meatballs. Put the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
• In the same pan that the onions were cooked, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the reserved 1/4 cup of onion and cook over medium-high heat until a slight color develops, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the flour and stir to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute and then add the wine and broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sherry vinegar and sour cream and whisk until smooth. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and scatter the cheese and chives on top. Put the meatballs in the oven until the cheese is melted. Transfer the meatballs to a serving dish and serve.

ELVIS PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, baking powder, sugar, salt and butter.
• In another large bowl mix together all-purpose flour and buckwheat flour.
• Slowly add flour into the wet ingredients mixing with a whisk. Mix until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth and velvety.
• In a large cast iron skillet or flat grill pan over medium-high heat, melt a tablespoon of butter. Ladle pancake batter onto skillet to desired size. Using the ladle, form pancake into circular shape. Cook on each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Set pancakes aside and keep warm. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Once completed, spread peanut butter on a pancake, layer it with sliced bananas and drizzle it with honey. Top the pancake with another pancake to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining pancakes and serve with extra honey.

SAVORY SAUSAGE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Set sausage mixture aside to cool.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Beat milk and eggs in another large bowl; stir flour mixture into egg mixture until batter is smooth. Add cooled sausage and onion to batter.
• Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup portions of batter onto hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
