Migas
- 6 TBL butter, and additional 3 TBL butter
- 3 Corn tortillas, cut into small pieces
- ˝ Cup fresh, frozen or canned corn
- ˝ Cup minced purple onion
- 2 Ripe Roma tomatoes
- 2/3 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 fresh Serrano or Jalapeno pepper, minced
- 9 Eggs
- 1 tsp Garlic Salt
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 2/3 Cup shredded Cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese
- 6 oz. Quick melt cheese (like Velveeta)
- Extra fresh cilantro
Melt the butter over medium heat in a sauté pan. Add the tortillas, corn, onion, and serrano. Sauté for a minute or two, and then add tomato and cilantro. Cook for another minute.
In the meantime whip eggs, and add spices and cheese. Turn heat up to medium high and add additional butter. After butter has melted, add eggs to mixture. Stir frequently. Don’t overcook the eggs; they will look slightly undercooked when they are done. Put in a serving dish, and top with chopped cilantro. Serve with fresh, hot flour tortillas.

Gingerbread Pancakes with Carmelized Pecans
This recipe is from Patricia Cole Smith at the Omelettry West [now the Magnolia Cafe], which is separate from the Omelettry on Burnet Road [both here in Austin, TX] and serves a different version. This must be good, the recipe was requested by Gourmet Magazine, and Texas Monthly calls them the best pancakes in Texas.
Pancakes
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup water or milk
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee
- 2.5 cup unbleached flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp ginger
- 1 Tbsp nutmeg
- 4 Tbsp melted butter or margarine
Cream eggs and brown sugar together
Add buttermilk, water, and coffee and mix well.
In separate container, sift together dry ingredients.
Combine first and second mixture and add melted
butter.
This makes about 3 1/2 cups batter or 8-10 pancakes.
Cook on griddle as you would any other pancake, serve
with maple syrup, and carmelized pecans (recipe
follows).
Carmelized Pecans
In a saucepan over medium heat, mix 1 cup pecan pieces
with 1 cup granulated suger. Stir together until the
sugar had completely melted.
*Austin Folk House note: This is by far the thickest
pancake batter I have ever worked with. I found that
after cooking for about 30-45 seconds on the first
side, it is best to flip the pancake, and use the
spatula to press down and flatten. After cooking the
second side, you may then need to reflip and cook a
bit longer on the first side. |
Blueberry Crepes with Vanilla Cream Syrup
Crepes
3 Tablespoons Melted Butter
2 eggs
1 Cup Whole Milk or Buttermilk
1 teaspoons Vanilla
1 Cup Flour
1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Mix together liquid ingredients in one bowl, and dry
ingredients in a separate bowl. Combine the two, and
mix until a smooth batter is achieved. It's best to
let the batter sit overnight in the refrigerator, but
not mandatory.
To make crepes, pour about 3 tablespoons of batter
into a small skillet over medium heat. Cook on one
side, and then flip to cook the other side.
Blueberry Filling
12 Oz. Cream Cheese, Softened
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Cup Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
Mix Cream Cheese, Sugar and Cream together until
smooth. Fold in blueberries.
Vanilla Cream Syrup
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 Cup Karo Syrup
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
Combine sugar, syrup and vanilla in a pot over medium
heat. Cook for two minutes, then turn off heat and
add cream.
Divide filling among the crepes. Serve with Vanilla
Cream Syrup. Garnish with whipped cream and mint
leaves.
Bon Appetit!
