Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls
Easy, yeasted cinnamon rolls. A crowd always gathers when they come out of the oven. Favorite activity: scraping the goo off the bottom of the pan.
Banana Brown Sugar Pancakes
This recipe I made because I wanted to use up some instant banana oatmeal I had. I don't use syrup on it because of the sweetness from the oatmeal and brown sugar.
Crispy Flautas
I always order flautas at restaurants but have yet to see a recipe anywhere that makes them the way I like them - crispy. Instead of baking them, this recipe uses a deep fryer. It melds the flavors together and makes them extra crunchy. Serve with rice, salad, or whatever side dish you desire.
