waffle iron.

Them’s the biscuits served at America’s most popular stop
for breakfast, partners - simple to make and gosh darn tasty.
Get yourself some Bisquick and buttermilk and crank up the
oven for a clone that’s become one very frequent request.

2 cups Bisquick baking mix
2/3 cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons margarine, melted and divided

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Combine the baking mix, buttermilk, sugar, salt, and half of
the melted margarine in a medium bowl. Mix until well blended.

3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 30
seconds, or until dough becomes elastic.

4. Roll dough to about 3/4-inch thick and punch out biscuits using
a 3-inch cutter. Arrange the punched-out dough on an ungreased
baking sheet, and bake for 10 to12 minutes or until the biscuits
are golden on top and have doubled in height.

5. Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush each one
with a light coating of the remaining melted margarine. Serve warm.

Makes 8 biscuits.

This nationwide chain, which is known for it’s big bargain
breakfasts, serves an impressive number of non-breakfast
items as well. In 1997, I.H.O.P. dished out over 6 million
pounds of french fries and over half a million gallons of
soft drinks. But it’s the Country Griddle Cakes on the breakfast
menu that inspired this Top Secret Recipe. The unique flavor
and texture of this clone comes from the Cream of Wheat in the
batter. Now you can have your pancakes, and eat your cereal too.

nonstick spray
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup instant Cream of Wheat (dry)
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Apply nonstick spray.

2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl with a mixer set on
high speed. Mix until smooth.

3. Pour the batter by 1/3-cup portions into the hot pan and cook
pancakes for 1-2 minutes per side or until brown. Repeat with
remaining batter.

Makes 8-10 pancakes.

Even though the early press runs of Top Secret Recipes excluded
buttermilk in this recipe — a very important ingredient if you
really want pourable batter — many figured out the missing
ingredient on their own and the error was quickly corrected in
later copies. Now we just like to call those copies of the book
the “Collector’s Editions.” For any of you who were lucky enough
to get one of the “Collector’s Editions” we’d liked to say
“Congratulations!” Now here’s the recipe, in its entirety, to
make pancakes just like those served every day at IHOP.

Nonstick Spray
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup cooking oil
pinch of salt

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Use a pan with a nonstick
surface or apply a little nonstick spray.

2. In a blender or with a mixer, combine all of the remaining
ingredients until smooth.

3. Pour the batter by spoonfuls into the hot pan, forming 5-inch
circles.

4. When the edges appear to harden, flip the pancakes. They should
be golden brown.

5. Cook pancakes on the other side for same amount of time, until
golden brown.

Makes 8 to 10 pancakes.

During the holiday season this particular pancake flavor sells
like…well, you know. It’s one of 16 varieties of pancakes
served at this national casual diner chain. You can make your
own version of these delicious flapjacks with a little canned
pumpkin, some spices and traditional buttermilk pancake ingredients.
Get out the mixer, fire up the stove, track down the syrup.

2 eggs
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons canned pumpkin
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with oil cooking
spray.

2. Combine eggs, buttermilk, butter, pumpkin, sugar, and salt in
a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to blend ingredients.

3. Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add dry
ingredients to wet ingredients and blend with mixer until smooth.

4. Pour the batter in 1/4 cup portions into the hot pan. Should
form 5-inch circles.

4. When the batter stops bubbling and edges begin to harden,
flip the pancakes. They should be dark brown. This will take
from 1 to 2 minutes.

5. Flip the pancakes and cook other side for the same amount
of time, until dark brown.

It was in the late seventies, shortly after McDonald’s had
introduced the Egg McMuffin, that the food giant realized the
potential of a quick, drive-thru breakfast. Soon, the company
had developed several breakfast selections, including the Big
Breakfast with eggs, hash browns, and sausage. Eventually one
out of every four breakfasts eaten on the go would be served
at McDonald’s - an impressive statistic indeed. The newest
kid on the McBreakfast block is this morning meal in a tortilla,
first offered on the menu in 1991.

4 ounces breakfast sausage
1 tablespoon minced white onion
1/2 tablespoon minced mild green chilies (canned)
4 eggs, beaten
salt
pepper
4 8-inch flour tortillas
4 slices American cheese

On the side salsa

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Crumble the sausage
into the pan, then add the onion. Sauté the sausage and onion
for 3 to 4 minutes or until the sausage is browned.

2. Add the mild green chilies and continue to sauté for 1 minute.

3. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and scramble the eggs with
the sausage and vegetables. Add a dash of salt and pepper.

4. Heat up the tortillas by steaming them in the microwave in
moist paper towels or a tortilla steamer for 20 to 30 seconds.

5. Break each slice of cheese in half and position two halves
end-to-end in the middle of each tortilla.

6. To make the burrito, spoon 1/4 of the egg filling onto the
cheese in a tortilla. Fold one side of the tortilla over the
filling, then fold up about two inches of one end. Fold over the
other side of the tortilla to complete the burrito (one end should
remain open). Serve hot with salsa on the side, if desired.

Makes 4 burritos.

Sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon creamy dill mustard

4 eggs
salt
ground black pepper
1 teaspoon butter
8-ounces deli-sliced ham (2 to 3 slices per sandwich)
4 plain bagels
8 slices Kraft Singles American cheese

1. First prepare the sauce by combining the mayonnaise with
the dill mustard in a small bowl. Set this aside until you
are ready to use it.

2. To prepare the eggs it’s best to make one at a time in a
small 6-inch skillet. If you have more than one of these small
pans, you can save a little time.

3. Beat an egg in a small bowl with a whisk until it is smooth,
but not foamy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the egg. Heat
a small 6-inch skillet over low heat. Add 1/4 teaspoon of butter
to the pan. When the butter has melted add the egg to the pan.
Swirl the pan so that the egg spreads evenly. As the egg begins to
cook, use a spatula to pull in a couple of the edges so that raw
egg flows from the top onto the hot pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes,
then fold over one of the edges of the egg using a spoon or fork.
Fold it down about an inch. Fold the opposite end over as well.
Then fold the remaining two edges over, creating a small rectangular
or square mini-omelet. Flip the little omelet over and turn off the
heat.

4. Heat up the ham in a covered dish in the microwave for 1 minute.
This will make it hot, and keep it from drying.

5. Slice a bagel in half and place it with the faces up on a baking
sheet. Grill the faces of the bagel halves in your oven, set on
broil, until golden brown. You may also use a toaster oven for this
step, but be sure to place the sliced bagel halves onto a small
baking sheet or on aluminum foil.

6. When the bagels are toasted, spread about 1/2 tablespoon of the
sauce onto the face of the top bagel half.

7. Place a slice of cheese onto the face of each bagel half.

8. Place the finished omelet onto the cheese on the bottom half of
the sandwich.

9. Place the ham onto the egg.

10. Finish by flipping the top half of the sandwich over onto the
bottom. Heat for 15 seconds in microwave if needed to warm.

Makes 4 servings.

It was two friendly Atlanta, Georgia neighbors who got
together in 1955 to build the first Waffle House in their
eventual 1200-restaurant chain. With the dimpled breakfast
hotcake as a signature item (and this is 3 years before
IHOP was founded!), the privately-held chain grew into
20 Southern U.S. states. Today tasty food at rock-bottom
prices, plus 24-hours-a-day service, makes Waffle House
a regular stop for devoted customers any time of the day
or night. And don’t even think about referring to your server
as a waitress; they’re called “associates.”
For the best clone of the 45-year-old secret formula for these
waffles you really should chill this batter overnight in the
fridge as they do in each of the restaurants. But, hey, sometimes
you just can’t wait, right? If you need instant gratification,
the recipe still works fine if you cook up the waffles the same
day. At least wait for 15-20 minutes after you make the batter
so that it can rest and thicken a bit. That’ll give you time to
search for the waffle iron and heat it up. Also, you might need
some time to dust it off.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup half & half
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Stir to
combine.

2. Lightly beat the egg in another medium bowl. Add the sugar,
butter, and shortening and mix well with an electric mixer until
smooth. Add the half & half, milk, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix well.

3. Add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture while beating. Mix
until smooth.

4. Cover and chill overnight. (You can use batter right away if you
like, but a good 12-hour chill makes the batter better.)

5. Rub a light coating of vegetable oil on a waffle iron. Preheat
the waffle iron. Leave the batter out of the refrigerator to warm
up a bit as your waffle iron is preheating.

6. Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter into the waffle iron and cook for
3 to 4 minutes or until the waffles are light brown.

Makes 6 waffles.
