Baked Oatmeal

Amy is sharing this recipe with us! Thanks Amy!

3 Cups quick rolled oats

2 Tsp. baking powder

1 Tsp. salt

1/3 Cup melted butter

1 Cup packed brown sugar

1 Tsp. ground cinnamon

1 Cup milk

2 eggs, beaten

Mix all ingredients together and pour into a buttered 9"x9" baking pan. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Serve warm with milk or applesauce. For variety, swirl in jam, peanut butter or flavored syrup before baking. Chopped dried fruits or nuts add a nice texture.

(I used regular oats and it worked just fine. I also added raisins before baking. Make sure you mix well. I didn't and got all the salt in my bowl, blech.)

Pop Up Pancakes

These pop up pancakes are actually German pancakes baked in a muffin tin.
Here's how you make them:

Pop Up Pancake Recipe - makes 24 muffins or fills a 9×13 baking pan

1 cup milk
1 cup flour
6 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
dash salt
Preheat oven at 400

Combine all ingredients in a blender (it works best) and blend together. Then grease your muffin tins or baking pan. Bake them for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top. Top with your favorite pancake toppings (syrup, powdered sugar, and fruit).

Rice Pudding!

This recipe was given to me by my Mother-in-law. She has made it several times and raves about it. It sounds really good.

Warm 1/2 gallon of milk on high in the crockpot for one hour (you can make up some powdered milk an use it if you want).
Add 1 cup of rice
1 cup of sugar
(optional - I put in once stick of cinnamon)
and continue to heat on high for 3 hours.
While this is cooking remove 4 eggs from the fridge to bring to room temperature

By this time the rice should be fully cooked and will have absorbed most of the milk

Mix together
4 well beaten room temperature eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Stir in about 1/2 cup of the cooked rice and milk into the egg mixture to "temper it"
Then while stirring the rest of the cooked rice slowly add the egg mixture.

Keep the crockpot on high and stir until it is nice and thick.

You can eat it right away (after it cools, of course) or pour into a buttered
9x13 glass dish and cover very loosely and let cool.
Then cover and refrigerate. It can be warmed up by the dish full in the microwave.

We serve it with cinnamon sugar and your choice of
milk
cream or
whipped cream (for a special treat we did this as dessert for the missionaries)
