Do you think about Woodloch's yummy food after you've gone home? Now you can make some of those delicious treats at home until your next visit to Woodloch! Let's start off with one of the most talked about breakfasts' Woodloch has to offer: Scandinavian Pancakes. 

Before you begin, you will need: a griddle set to 325°, Pam spray, a measuring cup, mixing bowl, spatula and ladle.

 INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/2 cup milk

• 4 large eggs

• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

• 1 1/3 cups flour

• ½ cup sugar

• 1 tsp salt

In a mixing bowl, crack three eggs (be sure that there are no shells), and beat the eggs well. Next add sugar, salt, flour, and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Add milk slowly as you mix the batter. Set the mixture close to your griddle, and spray your griddle with Pam. Spread your batter onto your griddle with a small ladle into an oval shape. Cook on each side for 30 seconds. Woodloch puts butter in the middle and rolls them up. This recipe makes about 12 pancakes depending on the size!

And now for our Broccoli Salad! Start by cutting florets off of one head of broccoli and add:

• ½ cup chopped bacon bits 

• 1 cup raisins (you can substitute dried cranberries)

• ½ cup shredded mozzerella (optional)

• ½ small red onion diced

Place all into a mixing bowl, and in a separate bowl mix the dressing:

• 1 cup mayo

• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

• salt & pepper to taste

Mix all together well and place covered in the fridge for an hour before serving.

Time for everyone’s' favorite part of any meal . . . dessert!! One of my favorites is Woodloch's Maple Raspberry Bread Pudding:

• 1 ¼ cups eggs

• 10 oz sugar

• 1 tbs. Vanilla

• 1 tbs maple extract

• 1 cup apple juice

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 loaf of bread (cubed) 

• 1 cup of raspberries (frozen)

Mix the eggs and the sugar for 3-4 minutes (low speed). Add both the extracts, apple juice and heavy cream. Mix for an additional 3 minutes (low speed). Add the cubed bread, and let it soak for 15 minutes.

Butter the bottom of a 9 x 13” baking dish. Pour the mixture into the pan and top with the raspberries.

Bake in a water bath at 365° for approximately 45-60 minutes or until set.
