Breakfast in Bed

Husbands birthday is coming up this weekend, and it’s got me thinking about romantic breakfasts for two.

Breakfast in bed is one of those things that seems really romantic, but doesn’t actually happen all that often in real life. For starters, if you get up to make breakfast, it sort of ruins the whole “spend the morning in bed having delicious breakfast and lounging” especially if said breakfast takes an hour to make. Once you’ve been up for an hour, you’re up and that’s that, there’s no going back.

So the other day I experimented to see if I could find a quick, simple and delicious recipe that’s perfect for wanting to hop right back in the sack for a lazy morning. Here’s what I came up with…

Miniature German Pancakes

Yields 3 little guys

• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 400°

Using a muffin tin (not a cupcake tin), split the butter into three of the muffin holes and place in the oven for the butter to melt while you make your batter In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour and salt Once the butter is melted, pour the batter into the three buttered muffin tins, and bake at 400° for approximately 7 minutes. Remove from pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar (and by sprinkle, I mean sprinkle a LOT) Serve on a cute tray with some delicious OJ and a side of fruit!

Husbands, do this for your wives, it will make them want to make out with you.

You’re welcome.
