Recipe Tuesday..........

I had to think really hard to come up with a recipe for my final Recipe Tuesday blog post and have decided to share my favorite pancake recipe with you.  I hope you enjoy it. 

Goodwife Farm's Apple Pancakes

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups goat milk
• 1 egg
• 1 TBSP canola oil
• 1/2 apple, cored and chopped but NOT peeled

Add dry ingredients to medium sized bowl.  Mix wet ingredients except apples in measuring cup.  Add wet to dry, stirring just till combined.  Gently fold in apples.

Heat cast iron griddle til so hot that water drops sizzle merrily.  Drop batter on skillet by 1/4 cupfuls.  Cook, flip, and serve!  Makes about 12 pancakes.

I eat these topped with banana butter and they are delicious!  Very good, healthy, and filling!  Because I'm on Weight Watchers I put 3/4 cup of whole milk in my measuring cup, then add water to make 1 1/2 cup total.  If prepared this way they are 2.5 Weight Watchers points for 2 pancakes.

Today's recipe is Chocolate Pudding. This recipe is from Goats Produce Too (Volume II) by Mary Jane Toth

Chocolate Pudding

• 2 cups goat milk
• 1 egg slightly beaten
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 3 TBSP baking cocoa
• 3 TBSP corn starch
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tsp vanilla

Combine sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa in saucepan. Gradually add goat milk and beaten egg. Cook, stirring constantly over medium heat, til thick and bubbly. Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Chill or serve warm.

This is so very very yummy! Since I'm on Weight Watchers, I leave the butter out. You really can't tell the difference and it make it 4 points for 1/2 cup of pudding. It's well worth the points for an occasional treat!

I am on Weight Watchers so I'm always looking for healthy filling meals. This is my potato soup recipe. I hope you enjoy it!

Goodwife Farm's Potato Soup

• 1 cup potatoes, diced but not peeled
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup broccoli (fresh or frozen)
• 2 cups water
• dash of salt
• 1/2 cup goat milk

Add potatoes, onion, water and salt to pan. If using fresh broccoli, add it now. Boil rapidly until potatoes are tender. Don't drain as alot of your water will boil off in the cooking process, . Add milk and broccoli (if using frozen) and simmer until thickened and heated through. Serve!

This is really quite yummy. I use either fresh milk or surplus milk that I've canned. This is a nice bowl of soup for one person. You can double or triple your ingredients to make as much as you need!
