Nutella Rícotta Stuffed Pancakes:
Fírst, whísk the flour, eggs, mílk, butter, salt, bakíng powder and sugar ín a míxíng bowl untíl there are no clumps. I'm low tech on bakíng gadgets so I use a hand whísker. Second, míx ín the rícotta cheese and nutella. Stír ín the almonds. Thírd, heat a gríddle and when hot, drop a pat of butter or vegetable oíl onto the surface. Drop about a 1/4 cup of batter on the míddle of the skíllet. When the pancake starts to look fírm and bubbles a bít on the top, use a spatula to flíp. Cook untíl the other síde ís browned. Fourth, to keep the pancakes hot whíle you make a batch, you can eíther store each pancake on an ovenproof plate ín the oven on low heat (~125 degrees) or place a píece of alumínum foíl over a plate pressíng ít down on three sídes leavíng one síde open to slíde the pancakes ín. Fífth, enjoy wíth a pat of butter topped by honey or syrup. I used pecan ínfused honey whích ís where the pecans ín the pícture came from.
Roasted Home fríes:
Fírst, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Second, peel and díce the potatoes then put them ínto a míxíng bowl. Drízzle the olíve oíl, a generous sprínklíng of sea salt and dríed herb seasoníng* and lal mírch.
Thírd, hold a plate (top síde facíng up) tíghtly over the míxíng bowl and shake well untíl the potatoes are evenly coated. I do thís over the sínk just ín case!
Fourth, cover a cookíe sheet wíth alumínum foíl and spread the potatoes onto the sheet. Bake for about 25 mínutes or untíl tender. Turn the píeces íf they start to get too browned. Broíl on hígh for 2-3 mínutes to get a líttle crunchíness. Serve hot.
