Apple Pancakes with Cinnamon Syrup

This recipe is from my mom. She made these often when we were still living at home. It's nice having another recipe to throw your apples in. I love these and the syrup is so good, you could drink it!

Pancakes:
1 1/2 Cups Flour, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Tablespoon Sugar
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 Egg, beaten
1 Cup Evaporated Milk
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Apple, peeled & chopped

1. Stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar & salt.
2. Combine the beaten egg, milk & melted butter.
3. Add the liquid mixture gradually to dry ingredients, stirring only until the batter is smooth.
4. Fold in the chopped apples. The batter will be very thick.
5. Drop the batter by generous tablespoons onto a hot, greased griddle, spreading to make the pancakes round. Allow plenty of cooking time as the pancakes are very thick.

Syrup:
1 Cup Light Corn Syrup
2 Cups Sugar
1/2 Cup Water
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 Cup Evaporated Milk

1. Mix together the corn syrup, sugar, water & cinnamon in a medium size sauce pan. Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly for 2 more minutes.
2. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
3. Slowly stir in the evaporated milk.

A little extra tip on this syrup is that I pour it over my yams at Thanksgiving too!

Peanut Butter Fingers II

I had posted recently about a treat I remember eating from my childhood days in elementary school. I had a similar recipe, but it wasn't quite what I remembered. Well, my friend Whitney came through for me! She happens to know someone who was a cook for Weber County School District and got me the official recipe from my childhood! I made them and they are sooooooo good...just the way I remember them.

1 Cup Sugar

1 Cup Brown Sugar

1 Cup Margarine or Butter

2 Eggs

1 Cup Peanut Butter

2 Cups flour

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon Salt

2 Cups Oats

1. Mix all ingredients and press in a large cookie sheet.
2. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes. When crust is done, it should be soft to the touch and don't over-bake.
3. When crust is cool, spread a desired amount of peanut butter on top and then top it with chocolate frosting.

Kix Cookies

I went to a party tonight and Cherie (Ty's cousin) made these delicious cookies. I couldn't get enough of them. She gave me the recipe and they are soooo easy! They're along the sames lines as Rice Krispie Treats, but better! 1/2 Cup Light Karo Syrup
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Cream Peanut Butter
3 Cups Kix Cereal

In medium saucepan, bring Karo syrup and sugar to a hard boil. As soon as it boils, immediately remove from heat, add peanut butter and blend well. Stir in cereal, then drop by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper. Makes approximately 30.

Tip: She uses just a little less than 3 Cups of cereal so there's plenty of peanut butter! Yum-O!
