Breakfast (Pancakes and scrambled eggs)

I made plain pancakes in the mini maker last night. I just used regular pancake batter. However, I tried something new. Scrambled Eggs!

I make them with a splash of milk and a super small shake of salt then scramble with a fork. One egg takes up just over two wells. After 2 minutes poke the center with a fork and press down, a little uncooked egg appears. Then turn the egg-muffin upside down in the cooker so the original top is now on bottom and the original bottom is now on top. Cook for another 2 minutes and they are done. They cook perfectly :)

Chilie Cheddar Biscuits

So this was a recipe in the guide that came with maker. I made them at my parent's house for the Superbowl. It seemed no one wanted seconds except for the Huskey dog. On that note I do not recommend them. But hey to each their own. PS the dog was one happy camper!

Cookies Part 2

Well I learned that 8minutes doesn't work very well. They look good, but unfortunately they don't come out of the well, they just fall apart. They tasted good though :) Live and learn.

Cookies

So I tried something, after all this is what this blog is supposed to be about. I put the refrigerated cookie dough in there (chocolate chip of course) and it does work. However, the cookie keeps on cooking after you pull it out. It looked light brownish-tan when it came out, then 5 minutes later I looked over and it was dark brown-almost burned. That was ten minutes in the cooker so next time I am going to try eight minutes. Live and learn :)
