Yes, it's been a while, but today marks the return of Neal's recipes. I'd thought of this idea before, but, today being spring break and all, I figured "why do a 'normal' breakfast, let's go all out". So, I took on Deep Fried French Toast Pancakes. Now, basically anything deep fried is going to be good ... we'll start with that premise. And it is true. The goods were delivered! Deep Fried French Toast Pancakes are the bomb!
Deep Fried French Toast Pancakes
Ingredients:
Bread - can be "normal" bread or could be something fun like cinnamon swirl bread
Powdered Pancake mix - I like Krusteez
Sugar
Vanilla
Cinnamon
Vegetable Oil - or whatever you like to deep fry with!
Syrup
Get the oil hot. I found it worked best at around 350 or 375. Any hotter and the stuff cooked too fast. Mix up the pancake mix. I like to spice mine up with sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, but do whatever you like with that. Slice the bread slices into one inch wide strips (for easy handling by young fingers). Dip them in the pancake batter, and drop into the oil. Cook until just golden brown (flipping midway through to cook both sides). Drop onto a paper towel and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Another route to take is to roll them in powdered sugar. Both are good!
Serve warm on a plate with a small bowl of syrup for dipping, and sit back and bask in the warm glow of exclamations like "yummy", "can I have more?".
Seriously, this was some finger licking good stuff!

Today's Recipe
I haven't given all of my adoring fans a new recipe for a while, so try this one this weekend ...
So there's you're recipe for the day.
On the family front, Emma's now well over 100 boxes of girl scout cookies sold (thanks to a big help from Auntie Karen at her apartment building). Timmy's been a big help with the tree fort lately. Emma had an eye doctor appointment. And we all watched the first part of Swiss Family Robinson last night ... good times!
Donut French Toast
This one takes a brain surgeon to figure out, so make sure you have your morning coffee before you attempt this ...
Ingredients:
powdered donuts - the bigger the better
eggs
vanilla
milk
nutmeg
cinnamon
Slice the donuts in half. Crack the eggs into a bowl, splash in milk and vanilla (I'd say to taste, but you probably shouldn't be tasting raw eggs, and they wouldn't taste that great anyway!). For the four of us, I usually do a 1/4 cup or so milk and a teaspoon of vanilla. Stir that up. Get your fry pan hot over medium heat. I like to use olive oil since it's healthier than some other oils/butter (you know, because this is such a healthy meal). Dip both sides of the sliced donuts into the egg mixture and put into the pan. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg onto the cooking halves. I like to do the cinnamon and nutmeg after the dipping (many people add them to their egg mixture) to assure even coverage. If you're feeling really decadent, add some sugar and/or brown sugar to the mixture. Cook until browned, flip and repeat ... voila, Donut French Toast!

New Feature ... Neal's Favorites!
So, I'm going to brag here for a moment. I created a yummy new recipe, so I'm going to share it with all of my faithful readers.
Apple-Turkey Bacon Cheeseburgers
Ground Turkey (we use a pound or so for our family, had 7 pounds for the 25 here for Easter Lunch)
Minced Garlic (I use pre-minced from a can, but you could easily use fresh or powdered)
Minced Skinless Apple
Cheese (I prefer cheddar)
1 Onion, peeled and sliced
Bacon (two or three half strips per burger)
BBQ sauce
Hamburger Buns
Get the bacon started cooking. Dump the turkey, garlic, and apple into a mixing bowl and kneed together. I'm guessing I use around half a tablespoon to a tablespoon of minced garlic per pound of turkey, less for fresh garlic. I'd say around a quarter cup or possibly a bit more minced apple for a pound of turkey (I really don't use recipes or measuring devices when I cook!). Form into patties. Grill to taste, melting the cheese on the burger last. Don't forget to grill the buns and onions!
Eat with BBQ sauce, a slice of grilled onion, and two or three pieces of bacon.
It's yummy!
