The BEST Baked Potatoes

Many people have no issues microwaving baked potatoes. They always end up tasting like.. well.. microwaved baked potatoes. They ooze that puss and inevitably always end up like sheet rock on the bottom. So, if you have an hour please always bake them. This is how I do it and it's delicious! First, take a large baking potato. NO other potato will do. Scrub, rinse and dry. Poke with a fork on top and bottom a few times. Rub a little bit of Canola oil or Veg Oil all over. Then cover with Kosher Salt. Place in a preheated oven at 350 for an hour or so, depending on the size of the potato. Once out, take a fork and make a diagonal line on top of the potato, creating an "X" then push sides together. It'll be the fluffiest most tasty potato. Cover in butter/sour cream/bacon bits whatever you'd like and enjoy! Happy Eats!

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes!

MY FLUFFY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

I will never buy box pancake mix again. These are perfect for Sunday morning breakfasts. This will make enough for two people. You'll need to double it for four and triple for five or six. To keep pancakes warm, set your oven at 225 and put a baking sheet fitted with a metal oven safe cooling rack in it. Once cooked put the pancakes in the oven until ready to serve. I always enjoy these with a side of bacon and orange slices. Oh, and don't forget the butter and warmed pure maple syrup!

Ingredients.
1 cup Buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon of pure Vanilla Extract

Directions

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg, vanilla, melted butter and buttermilk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone. (don't over mix!) Let batter sit in bowl for ten minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.
