So, on Mother’s Day, our Dave took over Sunday breakfast with Dutch Baby Pancakes. Oh.My.Word.
It was excellent! Filled with fresh fruit, a dollop of lemon curd and even a spirt of Reddi-whip.
Definitely more time needed on the treadmill...thankfully, reading on the Kindle helps to pass the walking time.
Back in the kitchen this morning, I tried out a Welsh cake recipe - I enjoyed these at Brecon Beacons in Wales last October. Used the copper cutter I found in one of the little Welsh villages we visited...sweet memories.
Sultanas and spices add to the taste of these little lovelies - not quite a crumpet or English muffin. A little more “cakey” - (And requiring even more treadmill time)
Our hard freeze, frosty nights are hopefully now a thing of the past. Last week sure made for extra work giving all the onion plants coverage in the raised bed and keeping starter plants snug in the potting shed. Our weather guys tell us by next week we could see 80 degrees. So it goes here in Wisconsin at the edge of the northwoods. Perhaps we can finally enjoy sitting out on the deck and I can stitch some more moths and bees onto the last of the Rowdy Flat applique blocks. Looking forward to getting all the blocks together into a flimsy before starting in on the borders.
We continue to be busy here - not bored at all though missing being with friends - there was a successful Zoom session involving a glass of wine with some of our quilting sisters the other day and just got word yesterday, one of the LQS’s has reopened - again with restrictions in place, but it sure will be nice to see some new fabrics and catch up!
Meanwhile, everyone, continue to stay safe and be well. Hoping you find ways to stay busy too.

What a delightful and delicious treat for you. The applique for Rowdy Flats is cute. I thought you had laid real leaves on the butterfly. 😉
ReplyDeleteThe pancakes look scrumptious! I assume it is more of a dessert than a breakfast item.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I know about Wonder Bread. I used to want my mother to buy it. I am sure we had it at times. It must have been advertised on the Saturday morning kids programs that I wanted it.
You've inspired me to try a dutch baby pancake. I can't get yeast anywhere around here put I can make this!

Pat, I would love to get your blog by email. I am presumably a Follower, but that does not get me your blog. Do you do email delivery? Carol in Texas
ReplyDeleteIf you are willing to share, I'd love your recipe for the Dutch Baby. Mine never turn out quite so nice, but we do love them.
ReplyDeleteYour fabric choices and fussy-cutting on the moth and bee are really perfect.
Looking forward to someday hearing that a canceled quilt get-away that was supposed to happen last month has been rescheduled. It will be nice to have something to look forward to again.
Thank goodness I have had no desire to bake as I have already gained 7 pounds without it. That pancake does look divine! That Rowdy Flat applique is so sweet. What fun! Stay safe and healthy!
ReplyDeleteOh my Word is right! That all looks so good. I, too, have been keeping busy but have been sandbagging on the sharing. My friends want to have a show-n-tell first. Once we do that I will have plenty to share. There is no shortage of quilting around here. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI think I gained 5 pounds just looking at the dutch baby! I love those. Your applique is fabulous! I am happy to see the quilt shops opening. We won't be visiting any restaurants quite yet. I am looking forward to planting and getting gardening in. Stay well.
