Galactic Space Hamster Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 When you eat the grits you should use some maple syrup mixed in with them. They are very good that way. Maybe that was the problem. Mine were just pretty plain. I think it had a little butter in there, not to mention It was served in Waffle House. This morning I was very naughty and had a cream cake for breakfast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I don't salt my food too much, but I do salt grits, and some cheese is delicious melted into it. I wouldn't care for the syrup...too sweet for me.

Talisman Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I have a wheat free diet so pancakes and toast are off the menu for me, except when I travel and take wheat free bread with me (it is a very expensive treat). Most cereals are off the menu as well, since they are also wheat based. I tend to have things like millet or oat flakes then with rice milk or sometimes just fruit and yoghurt.

muggle not Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 We had pancakes for 'dinner" last week. If I must say so they were absolutely the best pancakes that I have made. Really good!!! Oh yeah, cheese grits are also very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 This morning I had English muffins with honey, and English breakfast tea with lots of sugar. It was a "sweet" English morning for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I love pancakes both American and our version (Delia Smith recipe - yum). Forgive me, I just saw this thread and am a little uneducated what is your version of pancakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Post #37 already explains : UK pancakes are large round thin, sprinked with lemon and sugar and rthen rolled up. Although you use other things the lemon and sugar are traditional and is what most people would use. UK pancakes are very similar to, and in fact basically are, crepes. American pancakes are smaller and more like cakes in texture. When I first tasted them my reaction was "it tastes like a cake more than a pancake" I have to say I prefer the European ones BUT the American ones are very nice and I like to have them as a change.

supergran71 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Oh yeah, cheese grits are also very good. Please Muggle explain to me what "grits" are? I have never fathomed that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 from a dictionary US coarsely ground maize: coarsely ground hulled maize that is boiled and eaten hot with butter, especially at breakfast in the southern United States (takes a singular or plural verb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Please Muggle explain to me what "grits" are? I have never fathomed that out. See Maureen's post...........Grits are Heaven I especially like them baked with cheese (after cooking them the regular way). Even though pontalba doesn't like them with Maple Syrup I think they are great that way, just a wee bit of maple though. from a dictionary Quote: US coarsely ground maize: coarsely ground hulled maize that is boiled and eaten hot with butter, especially at breakfast in the southern United States (takes a singular or plural verb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've always wondered what grits were too (along with Ranch Dressing ). Thought it was some sort of fried thing. Muggle, I've just been given a large packet of Old Fashioned Biscuit Gravy Mix from the US. It's got instructions of how to make it but I have no idea what to make with it. I understand your biscuits are like our scones, but scones with gravy sounds kinda wierd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I love cheesy grits but I also put some extra seasonings in it and add some salsa to it. It give's it a little bit of a zing that I love. If you don't want to try biscuts and gravy I love making hashbrowns and gravy with lots of pepper. :censored:errr...just in case.....hashbrowns are shredded potatoes fried in a skillet with a little bit of cooking oil.

muggle not Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 What megan said, you could use it in hashbrown potatoes. Or a thcik slice of toast.......but why not make some biscuits and use it on them. When I was working for a living I traveled a lot. When in Missouri I would sometimes have Biscuits with Gravy, scrambled eggs, and pork chops for breakfast. Missouri was known for their pork chops and they were usually on the breakfast menu.

poppy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks Megan and Muggles. I'm going to give it a go and I'll let you know the results What would be your biscuit recipe? Ours is: 3 cups flour 3 tsp baking powder pinch salt 100 gm (4 oz ) butter milk to mix I usually just grate cold butter into the siffted flour and baking powder and mix it in with a knife. Add plenty of milk to make a very soft dough, mix it very quickly, cut it into pieces and wack it into a preheated oven 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (we call them scones and they are traditionally served with jam and whipped cream) Yum! Oh how I love scones with jam and cream If we're eating out at breakfast I'll frequently order scones and not be able to get through them (usually only get two but they're so filling!) I would like to try making my own one day. I might use your recipe, Poppy, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Biscuits 2 cups sifted flour 2 tsp. baking powder 4 tablespoons butter or shortening 1/2 tsp. salt about 3/4 cup milk actually, Buttermilk biscuits are much better but they use Crisco shortening and it isn't very good for you. 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 5 tablespoons chilled vegetable shortening 1 cup buttermilk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Well that looks basically the same recipe. I'm sure you can get buttermilk in NZ but it is not something that we generally use. Biscuits and gravy here we come Though it's a bit hot at the moment, it's mainly salad weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the ones out of the can that you just throw in a pan and shove them in the oven? I'm pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
