img_20200512_1305539251609873219608087536.jpg


Ingredients

  • 8 cups rice crispies
  • 20 oz marshmallows
  • 1 stick (1/2 c) butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • pinch salt

Directions

  1. Prepare a 9″x9″ pan. Butter will work, but a parchment sling coated with butter will make removal even easier.
  2. Melt butter over low in a pan that will be large enough to eventually add the rice crispies. A wok or a large metal mixing bowl may be ideal.
  3. Let butter cool to 140°F.
  4. Melt marshmallows into butter. This may require placing back on heat, but try to keep temperature around 140°F. Lower temperatures help prevent the treats being tough.
  5. Add vanilla and salt.
  6. Add rice crispies.
  7. Move mixture into 9″x9″ pan, and allow to cool.

Lemon Pancake

Ingredients

  • 2 whole lemons, zested & squeezed
  • 2-1/4 cups milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Directions

  1. Add 3/4 of the lemon juice to the milk, then set aside for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
  3. Add soured milk and vanilla, stirring gently, until partly combined.
  4. Add eggs and melted butter.
  5. All lemon zest.
  6. Adjust with milk or flour to desired consistency.

This originally was a Pioneer Woman recipe. What I particularly liked about it was combining buttermilk pancakes with lemon pancakes by using the common substitute of souring milk with lemon juice to replace butter milk.
