I woke up this morning with a craving for pancakes, so I made Buttermilk Pancakes with caramelized apples baked into them. This is truly the best pancake recipe you will ever make. They are fluffy and light with a great flavour from the buttermilk and just the right amount of sweetness from the caramelized apples. I normally just make these pancakes without the apples, but since I made the caramelized apples the other day I figured this would be a great use for them. Pancakes are not only great for breakfast but would make a unique dessert if you topped them with cinnamon flavoured whipped cream instead of maple syrup!

My Mom has been making this granola since I was a little girl. Once you make homemade granola you will never want to eat the bought stuff again. Not only is the flavour better but you can control what spices and nuts you add to the recipe. I make a batch of this every week and it always amazes me how fast it is all eaten up.

These scones are just the right texture, flaky and light with a small crumb. I find that store-bought scone are often too heavy and lack flavour. I filled them with apples, oats, raisins, and cinnamon. They are delicious for breakfast with butter and jam but would also make a great afternoon snack with a cup of Earl Grey tea.

My mom suggested that I make sour cream twists this holiday season. I didn’t realize quite how long they were going to take until I was half way into the recipe. The next time I make them I am going to make the dough the day before and then bake it the next day. They would be great to serve hot out of the oven on Christmas morning along side a spicy eggnog chai latte. If you want to make them for dessert I would serve 2 or 3 per person with a warm whipped cream cheese icing to dip them in.
