IHOP Pancakes

A dear friend I had in Utah (she now lives in Washington) gave me this recipe. I've had it for a long time, but hadn't actually made it. I made it once and it is a family favorite now. We make it often. Once you have these, you'll never go back to bisquick.

1 1/4 cup flour
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup oil
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1 heaping tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt

In a blender or mixer, combine all the ingredients until smooth. Spoon onto a preheated pan (be sure to spray with pam before). Spoon enough to make a 5 inch circle. Flip the pancake when the edges appear to harden and the center is bubbly. Makes 8-10 pancakes.

I usually double this and we have a few extras. They're just as good warmed up in the microwave the next day.

Conference Casserole

I made this casserole for Maggie's blessing and now we are going to make it for Young Womens this week. They will come on Wednesday, make them and freeze them. I have never frozen them before. I hope it works okay. Then bake them for their families on Saturday or Sunday morning. I think they are really good. They do not have soggy bread in them. I made a couple of them and some I made with ham and the others I made with Jimmy Dean Maple sausage. So if you have a big group coming over make one of each.

8 frozen shredded hashbrown patties (my mother in law just used hashbrowns and it worked good)
4c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 lb. cooked ham cubed or 1 lb. of jimmy dean maple sausage (cook before adding to casserole)
7 eggs
1c. milk
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. salt

Arrange hashbrown patties in a singel alyer in a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with cheese and ham or cooked sausage; set aside. Blend together eggs, milk, mustard adn salt in a bowl; pour over ham. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes. Makes 8-10 servings.
