~Personal Puff Pancakes and Apple Syrup~

I've been in the baking, cooking mood this Fall. I've been making lots of my classic tried and true favorites, but I'm also trying to branch out a bit and try some new delights. A blog I frequent called Tongue -n- Cheeky (formerly known as Conversation with a Cupcake) always has creative delightful looking treats, but many seem more complicated than I have time. This one, however, I had to try. I tweaked them a bit to fit the ingredients in my household and found them to die for so I will share...Personal Puff Pancakes

5-6 ramekins, tea cups, or mugs

5-6 Tbsp. Butter

4 large eggs

1 c. flour

2 Tbsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put 1 Tbsp. butter in each bowl (or mug) and place on cookie sheet in oven until butter is melted. Meanwhile, beat eggs until light yellow. Add flour, sugar, salt, milk and mix well. Evenly spoon batter into hot bowls and return to oven to bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are brown. (Don't open oven until complete or pancakes will fall.) Cover with your favorite berry or apple syrup. (We've tried both and love them equally.) Serve asap.

Apple Syrup

2 large honey crisp apples diced (though you could probably use any yummy apple variety)

2 Tbsp. butter

2-3 tsp. ground cinnamon

dash of nutmeg

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 c. maple syrup

Melt butter in sauce pan over medium heat. Saute diced apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg in butter until apple have softened. Add vanilla and maple syrup. Heat through and serve over hot pancakes.
And there you have it! The babies LOVED these yummy treats, and Nick wasn't complaining either. Not exactly the healthiest dish, but yummy and oh so fun in your own personal little cup. Why do things taste so much better when they come in pretty bowls? Enjoy!
