Fall is in the Air

Fall has definitely arrived in Forks. The evenings and mornings are a little cooler and we have been experiencing some rain! In house, we have been getting out the fall decorations and this little guy is our fall greeter at the front door!

We have been serving some of our favorite breakfasts this week at the Miller Tree Inn.  Though we serve these breakfasts year round, they seem especially fitting for a brisk fall day.  Yesterday's breakfast was gingerbread pancakes, today we had a hearty eggs benedict and tomorrow orange croissant french toast is on tap.  

Have a wonderful fall!

Happy Memorial Day weekend! We just had another request for our Gingerbread Pancake Recipe, so we thought we would post it today.

GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

1 1/3 cups pancake mix
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup molasses
1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups water depending on how thick you like your batter

Cook on hot, greased griddle or pan until bubbly and then turn over.

LEMON SAUCE

1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
pinch of ground nutmeg
1 cup hot water
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind, fresh or dried
2 Tablespoons lemon juice

In medium sauce pan mix sugar, cornstarch and nutmeg. Gradually add in water. Cook stirring over medium heat until mixture is thick and clear. Add butter, lemon rind and lemon juice, stirring until butter melts. Serve hot, over hot pancakes.

ENJOY!
