Easy Gingerbread Dip Recipe

Terri — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 09:00:16 +0000

Whip up a delicious and easy Gingerbread Dip recipe for your holiday snacking. Perfect for a simple treat, or featured on a Christmas snack board.

Easy Gingerbread Dip

Yesterday, I featured a Christmas Sweet Snack Board, and this dip took center stage. Gingerbread is definitely a go-to of mine during the holiday season. Gingerbread Latte Cupcakes and Gingerbread Fudge would also be great accompaniments to any seasonal party or gathering. Easy Gingerbread Dip is definitely going to become a family favorite during the holiday season.

This dip is so dreamy, and I will fully admit to eating it with a spoon. Dipping some graham crackers or other cookies are also an option too. The sprinkles on top are one of my favorite sprinkle mixes – “Reindeer Food” from Sweets & Treats Boutique. Sweets & Treats has the cutest sprinkle mixes and I cannot tell you how many sprinkle mixes I actually have – pounds and pounds! I have sprinkles for every occasion.

Preparing YOUR INGREDIENTS:

I often keep frozen whipped topping in the house for easy desserts, like my French Vanilla Éclair Cake. The one problem I encounter is I sometimes forget to thaw it, which is necessary for most recipes. I try to set a reminder to place the container into the refrigerator the day before I need it for a recipe.

The cream cheese needs to soften, but not be completely room temperature. I like to measure out my dry ingredients while waiting for the cream cheese to soften. Brown sugar has a great molasses flavor, which is why I use more of it than granulated or powdered sugar in this recipe. Check out my Tips and Tricks on how to increase the spice and molasses in this recipe also.

TIPS, TRICKS, AND TOOLS:

Here are some of my favorite entertaining products, like including wood boards, bowls and accessories.
Thaw the whipped topping.
I love molasses, cinnamon and ginger, so feel free to increase each spice amount by 1/2 teaspoon and molasses by another 1/2-1 tablespoon for a more robust gingerbread flavor.

Christmas Sweet Snack Board

Terri — Wed, 09 Dec 2020 09:00:15 +0000

Combine your favorite holiday treats, along with a delicious gingerbread cookie dip, to create a Christmas Sweet Snack Board for your family.

Christmas Sweet SNACK BOARD:

Boards and platters are some of our favorite sharable treats. Some of my recent favorites are the Southern Brunch Board and Antipasto Platter. While we aren’t having any big gatherings this year for the holidays, my family and I are trying to still make it special, and snack boards are a great way to add that touch.

All of the ingredients on this board is readily available at most grocery stores. The only one that is specialty is the Italian rainbow cakes, and those are from Costco. My family loves a variety of cookies and treats, including Italian rainbow cookies, biscotti, molasses cookies, and my personal favorite, a Dutch cookie called stroopwafel. There is a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy.

HOW TO BUILD A FOOD BOARD:

This board has both store-bought and homemade elements, which makes it easy to prepare. The homemade Gingerbread Dip is placed in a bowl and topped with one of my favorite sprinkle mixes “Reindeer Food” from Sweets & Treats Boutique!

We eat with our eyes first, so you have to keep in mind colors, textures, flavors, and movement when building a board or platter. It wouldn’t be as enticing if there wasn’t a variety. With the gingerbread theme, there tends to be a lot of brown, so I broke it up by using red and white bowls, and had a variety of colorful cookies. I also wanted some greenery, and garnished the board with rosemary sprigs from the garden. It gave a nice amount of color, without me worrying if I had non-edible items on the board.

TIPS, TRICKS, AND TOOLS:

Here are a few of my favorite entertaining products, like including wood boards, bowls and accessories.
This board focuses on my family’s favorite holiday treats. Feel free to customize for your taste
Start by placing larger items and bowls first, then work your way down to the smaller items.
I like to keep everything on your board edible, or food-safe.

Easy Cranberry Orange Monkey Bread

Terri — Tue, 08 Dec 2020 09:00:57 +0000

Create the perfect holiday breakfast with my easy Cranberry Orange Monkey Bread. This pull-apart treat is sure to please the whole family.

Orange-scented biscuits, dried cranberries, cinnamon orange sauce, and a powdered sugar glaze create this delicious and easy holiday breakfast or brunch dish the whole family will love.

Cranberry Orange BISCUITS:

Biscuits are one of my favorite breakfast or brunch items, and canned biscuits from the refrigerated section makes this an easy Cranberry Orange Monkey Bread. The biscuits are tossed with a mixture of granulated sugar, cinnamon and orange zest. When zesting, make sure you only get the zest and not the white bitter pith of the orange.

The cranberry-orange combination is such a classic holiday flavor combination. You could enjoy it alongside my Cranberry Orange Meltaways or with a Cranberry Orange Madras Cocktail. I would personally choose a White Cranberry Moscow Mule to have with brunch.

Orange Cinnamon SAUCE:

Traditional monkey bread uses brown sugar, butter and cinnamon for the sauce. I opted for a different route this time. The molasses flavor in the brown sugar could overpower the orange and cranberries, so granulated sugar was the best option. Salted butter, cinnamon and fresh-squeezed orange juice are melted with the sugar for a delicious, fragrant sauce. Vanilla extract is added off the heat, after everything is melted and combined

The biscuits are layered with dried cranberries, then topped with the orange cinnamon sauce to bake. It is so delicious and the house smells fantastic from the cinnamon and orange flavors!

TOOLS, TIPS & TRICKS:

Make sure your bundt pan is well greased.
If you let the monkey bread cool too long, it will stick to the pan when trying to release it. I aim for under 10 minutes of cooling time.
Here is one of my favorite bundt pans for monkey bread.
I opted for no brown sugar, because I did not want to molasses flavor to overpower the cranberries and orange.
Make sure when zesting, to not get the white, bitter pith, and only the zest.

Cooling time 10

Total Time 1 20

Servings 8

Ingredients

Cranberry Orange Biscuits

1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 cans Grands Southern Homestyle Original or Buttermilk Biscuits (8-count)
1 cup dried cranberries

¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup salted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
juice from 1 navel orange
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Whisk together sugar, cinnamon, and zest in medium bowl. Quarter biscuits and roll pieces into sugar-spice mixture. Layer biscuit pieces in bundt pan with dried cranberries sprinkled throughout.
Gently pour the sauce over the biscuits. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, then carefully turn over onto rimmed serving plate. Be careful when turning over, so as not to burn yourself with the hot butter sugar sauce.
Combine ingredients for glaze and pour over monkey bread. Serve immediately.

Spiced Sugared Pecans

Terri — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 09:00:38 +0000

My family’s tradition of Spiced Sugared Pecans is the perfect sweet and crunchy treat, or edible gift, for the holiday season!

Spiced Sugared Pecans:

Every year around this time, the house smells delicious! Between the Spiced Sugared Pecans and our family’s favorite holiday cookie – Ginger Crinkles – you can definitely tell it’s the holiday season. This easy-to-make recipe is a yearly tradition around Christmas. My mom got this recipe a few years ago, and we have been making it ever since.

I usually make more than one batch at a time – sometimes 2-3 batches total. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled, you just need to ensure you have the oven space to cook the nuts. For 2-3 batches, either split the nuts between 2-half sheet pans with sides, or on a larger 2/3rd or full-size sheet pan with sides. We love these nuts, so a single batch doesn’t last very long. The whole family snacks on them throughout the holiday season, or however long they last.

Edible Gifting Options:

As long as the recipient does not have an allergy, I love giving edible gifts for the holidays. Whether it is homemade cookies, spiced pecans, or pumpkin butter, the edible gift options are endless. Mason jars are among my favorite vessel for packaging. They keep the nuts airtight and a festive ribbon tied around the lid looks great.

Bake for 1 hour, or until nuts are completely dry, tossing every 15 minutes to ensure doneness. Let cool and store in an airtight container.

Easy Pumpkin Pudding Dip

Terri — Sat, 10 Oct 2020 08:00:31 +0000

Easy Pumpkin Pudding Dip makes the perfect sweet treat for the whole family!

This post and recipe was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are my own.

Pumpkin Pudding Dip:

I love creating themed snacks and desserts, and pumpkin is the perfect flavor for the season. Candy eyeballs are a family favorite garnish, but you could also use gummy worms or candy spiders. I don’t recommend using anything non-edible, like spider rings, because little kids might try and bite or play with it.

I created this dip for my Kid-Friendly Halloween Snack Board. It was the perfect addition to the board and we loved dipping the straws and almond cookies into the pumpkin dip. You could even add sliced apples or graham crackers for dipping as well. This dip makes a large amount, so I served some on the tray and placed the rest back into the empty whipped topping container to enjoy as dessert the next few days.

Thawing and draining your ingredients:

I usually keep some frozen whipped topping in the house for easy desserts, like my French Vanilla Éclair Cake. The one caveat of whipped topping is I sometimes forget to thaw it, which is necessary for most recipes. I always have to set a reminder to place the container into the refrigerator the day before I need it.

The same time I put my whipped topping into the refrigerator, is when I drain my pumpkin. Depending on the brand, pumpkin can be very watery. I don’t want my Easy Pumpkin Pudding Dip to not get fluffy, or get too grainy from the extra liquid. Place and cover the pumpkin in a cheesecloth, inside a sieve or mesh strainer, over a bowl and refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you could cook the pumpkin and spices a bit on the stove, but must also refrigerate to cool it down before mixing with the whipped topping.

TIPS, TRICKS, AND TOOLS:

Here are some of my favorite entertaining products, like including wood boards, bowls and accessories.
Drain the pumpkin at the same time you put the whipped topping in the refrigerator to thaw.
Make sure everything on your board is edible. My eyeball decorations are store-bought candy that is safe for kids to eat.
If you can’t find plain vanilla pudding, French vanilla is a great substitute.

Easy Pumpkin Pudding Dip

Servings 8

Ingredients

15 ounces canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3.4 ounces instant vanilla Jell-o pudding
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces frozen whipped topping

Instructions

Day before:

Place frozen whipped topping in refrigerator overnight to thaw
Place pumpkin into cheesecloth, covered, in a mesh strainer over a bowl to drain.

Easy Pumpkin Pudding Dip

In medium bowl, combine drained pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, pudding mix and vanilla. Fold in thawed whipped topping. Keep refrigerated until consuming.

Kid-Friendly Halloween Snack Board #HalloweenTreatsWeek

Terri — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 08:00:52 +0000

Enjoy an easy Halloween snack board with a mixture of store-bought treats and semi-homemade touches that are kid-friendly and delicious!

This post and recipe was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are my own.

Kid-Friendly Snack Board:

Most of the ingredients for this board are from Trader Joe’s. They have a wide selection of Fall-inspired treats that my local grocery store doesn’t have. Trader Joe’s is about 30 minutes across town, so I usually only go for specialty ingredients that I cannot find anywhere else. Little L&C loved helping me pick out snacks for her board – because she is a foodie in the making.

Her favorite boards I have created so far were my Southern Brunch Board and Kid-Friendly Snack Board. She loves being able to serve herself, and pick and choose between options. I create my boards with a variety of food that I know she will like. She likes candy and sweets, and is allowed a small amount, but also gravitates toward healthier options too.

How To Build A Food Board:

I chose a mixture of store-bought and semi-homemade items for this board. The cute little cauldrons holding the dip and goldfish were purchased from a craft store last year. They were the biggest and tallest items, so those were placed on the board first, along with the bat dish holding the candy corn.

We eat with our eyes first, so you have to keep in mind colors, textures, flavors, and movement when building a snack or antipasto platter. It wouldn’t be as enticing if there wasn’t a variety. I stuck with orange, brown and white for the color scheme, and pumpkin or spiced flavors for the sweets. I also used a variety of textures, like crunchy and creamy. Snack boards don’t have to all be sweet or savory. I prefer a mixture, and included carrots and ghost chips with this board too.

TIPS, TRICKS, AND TOOLS:

Here are a few of my favorite entertaining products, like including wood boards, bowls and accessories.
I focused on a specific color palette and flavor for this board, and took my inspiration from Halloween.
Start by placing larger items and bowls first, then work your way down to the smaller items.
Make sure everything on your board is edible. My eyeball decorations are store-bought candy that is safe for kids to eat.
Smaller items, like nuts and candy, should be placed last as a filler.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Layer Cake

Terri — Fri, 25 Sep 2020 08:00:02 +0000

Enjoy your PSL in cake form with a Pumpkin Spice Latte Layer Cake. Moist pumpkin spice cake is layered with a rich coffee buttercream, reminiscent of the coffeehouse Fall favorite drink.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Layer Cake will easily become a family favorite. Enjoy the flavors of the season in a delicious, and easy sweet treat.

Pumpkin Spice Cake:

Semi-homemade cakes are an easy way to create cakes at home. I used my favorite brand of box mix as a base and added pumpkin to it, similar to my Pumpkin Pecan Pie Layer Cake. The cake is delicious on its own, and would also be perfect with a Cream Cheese Frosting. I prefer the Pumpkin Spice Latte Layer Cake to have the separation of flavors – pumpkin in the cake and coffee in the buttercream. I didn’t want the coffee to overpower the pumpkin and spice flavors.

Pumpkin is often paired with pumpkin spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice) because it doesn’t have much of a flavor on its own.

Coffee Buttercream:

This buttercream is one of my favorites to make, because it is fast and easy. It isn’t a true buttercream, but more an adaptation. There are no whipped egg whites, like in a Swiss meringue buttercream, but it is just as delicious.

If you love coffee-inspired baked goods, try my Gingerbread Latte Cupcakes! The gingerbread latte cupcake and coffee buttercream should definitely be on your Fall or Winter baking list!

TOOLS, TIPS & TRICKS:

Most importantly, start with a good set of cake pans. I have both 6-inch and 8-inch round pans, depending on the type of cakes I want to make.
I use a professional cake decorating turntable to fill and frost easier.
A stainless steel scraper will help get clean edges and a smooth cake. All of my favorite baking tools are in my Amazon Store.
Crumb coating is a thin layer of frosting that traps loose crumbs before applying the final frosting.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Layer Cake

Ingredients

Pumpkin Spice Cake

1 box Duncan Hines spice cake mix (15.25 oz)
½ cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
3 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup water

Coffee Buttercream

1 cup salted butter, softened
pinch salt
1 cup shortening
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure coffee extract
5-6 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Pumpkin Spice Cake

Heat oven to 350F. Prepare 3 6-inch cake pans with cooking spray and parchment. Set aside.
In stand mixer, add all ingredients and mix to combine on low speed. Increase speed to medium for 1 minute. Divide batter between cake pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10-15 minutes then turn out on wire rack to cool completely.

Coffee Buttercream

In bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and salt for 3 minutes. Add in shortening, vanilla, and coffee extract, and beat to combine.
Sift together powdered sugar. Slowly add to butter mixture, alternating with milk 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency. If not using immediately, transfer to bowl, cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.

Cake Assembly

Level Cakes. Place bottom layer on 6-inch cake board. Using a small offset spatula, frost with approximately 1/4 cup frosting. Place second layer on top and repeat.
Place third layer on top (turned upside down so it is completely smooth for frosting) and apply a crumb coat over cake. Place in freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Frost top and sides and smooth with cake scraper/comb. Alternatively, use a small offset spatula to create a design around the outside of the cake by spinning the cake as you gently scrape a small amount of frosting away. Pipe top with 1M piping tip.
Serve immediately or refrigerate then bring to room temperature before serving.

Pumpkin Pecan Zucchini Bread

Terri — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 08:00:56 +0000

Pumpkin Pecan Zucchini bread needs to be on your Fall menu. Zucchini and pumpkin create a moist and delicious loaf.

Pumpkin Pecan Zucchini Bread:

Pumpkin loafs are a seasonal favorite that I could enjoy year-round. Aside from Banana Bread, it is one of my favorite and easy quick breads. I adapted a family recipe for zucchini bread, and added pumpkin. I enjoy it warm and spread with whipped cream cheese. The sweetness from the loaf is balanced out by the tanginess of the cream cheese.

Pumpkin Bread Mix-ins:

I love being able to modify quick breads with different mix-ins. Pecans are a traditional nut, while others prefer walnuts. Chocolate chips are also a great choice for added sweetness. All three are perfect options for the Pumpkin Pecan Zucchini Bread – just substitute which mix-in you’d like. Additionally, dried cranberries are also a great choice for a delicious Fall flavor.

Looking for more delicious pumpkin recipes? Try my Easy Pumpkin Monkey Bread, Pumpkin Pie Macaroons, and Pumpkin Pecan Cupcakes.

TOOLS, TIPS & TRICKS:

Make sure your loaf pan is well greased and floured.
Zucchini is very watery. Press between paper towels to absorb some of the extra liquid.
Here is one of my favorite baking sets with loaf pans for monkey bread.
Feel free to add or subtract any mix-in – change the nuts to chocolate chips.

Pumpkin Pecan Zucchini Bread

Prep Time 15

Cook Time 1

Total Time 1 15

Servings 4

Ingredients

3 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup zucchini, grated and drained (1 medium)
½ cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
½ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Heat oven to 325°F and grease and flour a loaf pan.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, or in a medium bowl with a hand mixer, beat the Eggs for 1 minute. Add in the Vegetable Oil and Granulated Sugar. Beat until well combined.
Add in Flour, Salt, Baking Soda, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Baking Powder. Beat on low until all the dry ingredients are incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to insure everything is mixed together well.
Add in the Vanilla Extract, grated Zucchini, and pumpkin puree. Mix briefly, just to combine. By hand, stir in the chopped pecans.
Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Easy Pumpkin Monkey Bread

Terri — Mon, 21 Sep 2020 08:00:41 +0000

Create the perfect Fall breakfast with Easy Pumpkin Monkey Bread. This pull-apart pumpkin treat is sure to please the whole family.

Buttery biscuits, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice combine for a treat the whole family will love. Add a powdered sugar glaze for beautiful presentation too.

Pumpkin Spice Biscuits:

I love homemade biscuits, but for an easy morning breakfast, canned biscuits are the base in my Easy Pumpkin Monkey Bread. The biscuits are tossed in a mixture of sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, then layered with the pumpkin sauce. I also opted to top my biscuits with a quick powdered sugar glaze.

We usually enjoy monkey bread for breakfast, and it would make a great option for brunch along with my Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Roll Cake. Add a delicious cocktail to your pumpkin-inspired brunch menu, like Pumpkin Red Sangria or Pumpkin Pie Bourbon Cocktail.

Pumpkin Sauce:

The pumpkin sauce not only has brown sugar, butter and cinnamon, but also pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Some people pour the sauce over the entire pan after the biscuits are in it. For this monkey bread, I divided it into 3, and layered it in between the biscuits. Either way works, whichever you choose.

TOOLS, TIPS & TRICKS:

- Make sure your bundt pan is well greased.
- If you let the monkey bread cool too long, it will stick to the pan when trying to release it.

Here is one of my favorite bundt pans for monkey bread.
You can use either light brown sugar or dark brown sugar however, dark brown sugar will have more of a rich molasses flavor.

Easy Pumpkin Monkey Bread

Prep Time 15

Cook Time 40

Cool Time 10

Total Time 1 5

Servings 8

Ingredients

Pumpkin Biscuits

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 cans Grands Southern Homestyle Original or Buttermilk Biscuits (8-count)

Pumpkin Sauce

¾ cup light brown sugar
½ cup salted butter
½ cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Heat oven to 350F. Grease bundt pan with butter or cooking spray. Place bundt pan on half-sheet tray.

Pumpkin Sauce

In small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, spices and pumpkin. Stir until butter is completely melted and mixture is combined. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Pumpkin Biscuits

Whisk together sugar, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon in medium bowl. Quarter biscuits and roll pieces into sugar-spice mixture. Layer biscuit pieces in bundt pan.
Gently pour or spoon ⅓ pumpkin sauce in the bottom of the pan. Layer half the biscuits in the bundt pan. Pour or spoon ⅓ over the biscuit pieces, trying to coat/cover each one. Repeat with remaining biscuits and sauce
Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, then carefully turn over onto rimmed serving plate. Be careful when turning over, so as not to burn yourself with the hot butter sugar sauce.

Glaze

Combine ingredients for glaze and pour over monkey bread. Serve immediately.

Key Lime Pie Pancakes

Terri — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 08:00:18 +0000

Key Lime Pie Pancakes are the perfect end-of-Summer breakfast.

Homemade Pancakes:

Key lime is my favorite dessert flavor, and pancakes are the perfect vessel for great key lime pie flavor. Graham cracker crumbs and lime zest give the pancakes great texture and taste. I opted to add in 1/2 teaspoon of key lime extract, but if you don’t have the extract, it can be left out and tastes just as good.

Sometimes key limes are hard to find in the store, so I used regular Persian limes for my zest. The key is the key lime juice, and my go-to brand is Nellie and Joe’s. Key lime juice can usually be found in the juice aisle of the grocery store.

Pancake Toppings:

The pancakes alone are slightly tart from the lime zest and juice, so a sweeter topping balances them out perfectly. I topped the pancakes with a small drizzle of sweetened condensed milk – for that creamy key lime pie flavor, maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, and graham cracker crumbs.

Here are some other favorite homemade pancake recipes: Orange Buttermilk Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce, Banana Nut Bread Buttermilk Pancakes, and Homemade Gingerbread Pancakes. I usually make extra pancakes and freeze for easy school morning breakfasts. Place pancakes onto a flat sheet tray and pop into the freezer for an hour or two. Once frozen, pack into a zip-top bag. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or toaster oven.

Tools, Tips & Tricks:

I love using an electric griddle when making pancakes. More surface are and less time cooking for a crowd!
Here is a list of my favorite kitchen tools, including my favorite microplane zester
Remember to only use the zest and not the white bitter pith
Check out my no-churn ice cream recipes to use leftover sweetened condensed milk.
Here is a list of all my key lime recipes.

Key Lime Pie Pancakes

Servings 16 pancakes

Ingredients

1¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons key lime juice
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon key lime extract (optional)

Instructions

Add eggs, vanilla, milk, and optional key lime extract to dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Prepare griddle, preferably with shortening. Whisk batter before cooking. Using ladle or measure roughly 3-4 tablespoons batter, pour batter onto griddle and cook pancakes, turning once bubbles form on the top. Serve warm with sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs
