National Hot Breakfast Month

     February is National Hot Breakfast Month! The options for hot meals out there are vast and you may even be able to have a different kind each morning. You can choose from types of prepared eggs, cooked meats, and much more.
     For this month, try going out for breakfast with your family. Go to a restaurant and have a hearty omelet or a stack of warm pancakes. You can have a side of eggs sunnyside up, or scrambled. Hash browns and bacon on the side make for a fine addition. Or, if you have time in the morning, you can wake up and cook a scrumptious breakfast of your own. Here's a recipe you can try out.

      Buttermilk Pancakes

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions:

     Step 1:In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter with whisk or equivalent. Keep two mixtures apart until ready to cook.
     Step 2:Heat lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. To test readiness, splash small droplets of water into pan. If they sizzle, you're ready to begin.

     Step 3: Combine wet and dry ingredients, and stir using a wooden spoon or fork to blend. Stir just enough, until blended together. Pour or scoop batter onto griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake. Brown to preference on each side and serve hot! *Tip: You can tell a pancake is ready to flip when the edges become dry and small bubbles begin to form.

     Would you like more recipes? Of course you would! Take a look at some more hot breakfast recipes. You may want to try them all out.
     Even if you aren't a cook, you can surely take part in eating hot breakfast. Let's just say you don't have time for making breakfast, or you aren't interested in going out to a restaurant. You can have some on-the-go breakfast. There are some choice picks that may take just a minute or two to heat up. For starters, try out some of Jimmy Dean's Delights brand of breakfast meals, like their french toast griddler.
     Another place you can have some breakfast is at the hotel you are staying in when you travel. If you are interested in breakfast, do some research on what the hotel offers as sustenance. As a matter of fact, if you stay at a Hampton Inn, you can be treated to a nice hot breakfast of waffles, oatmeal, eggs, and sausage. Take a muffin too!  
     Enjoy a hot breakfast today, and for the rest of this month. After all, it is the most important meal of the day!
