AB's Homemade Peanut Butter

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/homemade-peanut-butter-recipe/index.html

15 ounces shelled and skinned roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil

Place the peanuts, salt and honey into the bowl of a food processor. Process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Place the lid back on and continue to process while slowly drizzling in the oil and process until the mixture is smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Place the peanut butter in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

(Place salt and peanuts in, and drizzle honey with oil?) (Reviews said to add a bit more honey to sweeten it up, and a bit more oil to make it more spreadable.)

Pancake Cupcakes!!!!

(From http://thesimpleme.com/2009/06/04/pancake-cupcakes/)

2 cups Original Bisquick mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
cooking spray
12 tbsp filling: try Nutella, fruit jam, or cream cheese
confectioners sugar for sprinkling
maple syrup for serving

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously coat the bottom & sides of a 12-muffin tin with cooking spray. Make Bisquick pancakes per instructions on the box. Fill each cup in the muffin tin half-way. Add 1 tbsp of filling to the middle of each muffin, then cover with the remaining pancake mix. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven, place on serving dish & use a flour sifter to sprinkle with sugar. Serve with warm syrup.

Suggestions from site include putting them in mini muffin tins and baking for 15 min. I would like to add blueberries to the pancake mix.

Baked Pancake Poof

(From 2makeendsmeet.blogspot.com - referenced from 5dollardinners.com)

Preheat oven to 450*
Put 2 tbsp. butter (or margarine, I guess) in an 8" square pan.
Place the pan in oven, until butter is melted. (I always just microwave for 20 seconds or so, until melted.) I am going to try just using no-stick spray
Mix:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
Pour mixture into the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon (or nutmeg).
Bake for 15 minutes at 450*. Remove from oven and make sure your kids see how fun it looks right away!

(From recipe: My favorite topping for this is fresh strawberries with a little powdered sugar. Maple syrup, homemade applesauce, peaches, etc. would all be wonderful too.
I usually double this recipe and pour in a 9X13 pan, when making this for our family of 5.)
