Pumpkin Dutch Baby Babies

Yields 12

Ingredients

Dutch Babies

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk, whole or 2% milk recommended
  • 5 Tablespoons pure pumpkin puree, not pie filling
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Generous pinch of cinnamon
  • Small pinch of allspice and nutmeg
  • Additional 2 Tablespoons butter, melted (for coating muffin tins)

Maple Mascarpone

  • 8oz mascarpone cheese
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoons pumpkin spice

Method

Maple Mascarpone

  1. Stir together the mascarpone, milk, maple syrup and pumpkin spice in a bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until needed at serving

Dutch Babies

  1. Place a 12-cup or two 6-cup muffin tins in oven and preheat oven to 425° F
  2. Melt the butter needed for the pancake batter and set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, combine pancake ingredients in a blender (or a medium bowl with an immersion blender), adding the cooled, melted butter last. Mix well, until frothy. Leave to stand in blender (or bowl) while oven finishes preheating
  3. When oven is pre-heated, carefully remove hot muffin tin(s) from oven and quickly pour a bit of melted butter into each muffin cup. Turn blender on for a few seconds to re-mix the batter, then quickly pour the mixture into the hot muffin cups, dividing equally between 12 cups, filling about ½ way full
  4. Place in oven and bake for 22-24 minutes, or until puffy and deep golden colour. Remove from oven. Remove from pan to a cooling rack to cool slightly before serving*. (If you find the pancakes sticking in your pan, run a knife around the edges, then use a fork to lift them out)
  5. Garnish with icing/confectioners sugar
  6. Drizzle or spoon on some of the maple mascarpone and some additional chopped walnuts or pecans, to taste

* Note: The Dutch babies will quickly deflate when you remove them from the oven. Don’t worry –  that’s what they do naturally.

Low Carb Corned Beef Hash

with Pork Panko Eggs

(paid partnership with PALM Corned Beef)

Serves 3- 4

Ingredients

Seasoning*

  • 2 Tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons Kosher salt
  • 2 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 Tablespoon celery salt
  • 1 Tablespoon cumin

Corned Beef Hash

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1 Tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1x 12oz can PALM Corned Beef
  • 3 green onions, white part removed, green parts finely sliced
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, grated
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced

Panko Eggs

  • 2/3 cup pork panko
  • 2 teaspoons parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • ½ black peppercorns, ground
  • 3 eggs (or 4 dependent on serving)

Method

Seasoning

  1. In a medium bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients and whisk well to combine. Set aside until needed

*Note: This recipe makes more than required offer this dish. Store any remaining seasoning bland in an air-tight container for future use.

Corned Beef Hash

  1. Prep your cauliflower by removing any green leaves and/ or bruised stem from the bottom. Soak the cauliflower in a large bowl with a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water for 10 minutes. After this time remove, discard the water and rinse the cauliflower until cold, running water
  2. Transfer to a large pot filled 1 Tablespoon vinegar and enough water to cover the head of cauliflower. Boil for between 6-8 minutes (dependant on size of cauliflower), should have slight resistance to a fork
  3. Remove from heat, drain and leave to cool. Once cool use a knife to cut off small florets of cauliflower. Once all florets have been removed, cut and dice the remaining cauliflower stem in medium, home-fries size pieces. Set aside together in a bowl until needed
  4. In a 10 or12 inch cast-iron skillet, add some canola, or avocado oil, and heat over a high heat. While the skillet heats, prep the onion and peppers by trimming and dicing
  5. Add the prepared onion and pepper to the hot skillet and sauté for 3-4 mins. After this time add in the prepared cauliflower and season with seasoning mix to taste. I usually use 3 heaped teaspoons. Continue to sauté vegetables and seasoning for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid breaking up the cauliflower too much
  6. Addi in the PALM Corned Beef, gently breaking it up and folding it in so as to incorporate it through the seasoned vegetables
  7. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes until PALM Corned Beef is heated through. Reduce heat to medium and leave the hash mixture to cook undisturbed. This will give that wonderful “crust” to the hash when cooked

Panko Eggs

  1. While the hash cooks, combine the pork panko, parmesan cheese and black pepper in a bowl and mix
  2. Turn on the broiler to high. Heat a 9-inch pan over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add the seasoned pork panko in a single layer. Swish them around with a wooden spoon to toast.
  3. Once the crumbs are sizzling and starting to turn a shade darker and form in three roughly “fried egg” size disc shapes, crack the eggs into the hot pan over the crumb areas
  4. Fry the pork panko and eggs until the whites are almost set, then transfer the pan under the broiler. Broil, watching closely and checking frequently, until the egg yolks are as gooey or firm as you’d like

To Serve

  • Check that your corned beef hash has a nice crust and remove from heat. Top with a sprinkling of grated Swiss cheese and finely sliced green onions. Use a spatula to transfer your cooked eggs to the top of the hash and top with some additional avocado slices. Sprinkle over any remaining stray pork panko crumbs from frying the eggs and enjoy!

Brown Butter Banana Muffins

Makes 12

Ingredients

Streusel Topping

  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats

Banana Muffins

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large bananas, mashed
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease 12 cup muffin tray
  2. In a thick-bottomed pan over medium heat, add the butter, whisking frequently. Continue to cook until fully melted. Once melted the butter will foam up a bit, then subside. Watch carefully as lightly browned specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan. Smell the butter; it should have a nutty aroma. Pour into a bowl to stop the butter from cooking further and possible burning. Set aside to cool until needed
  3. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and oats. Cut in the butter until mixture damp sand. It’s fine if there are peas-sized pieces of butter remaining. Set aside until needed
  4. In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. It will still appear a little lumpy
  5. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the streusel topping over muffins
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin and serving
