Peeps Pancakes

Marshmallow Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

A delightful breakfast treat for the whole family, Pancakes are perfect for your Easter morning celebration! Don't forget to throw on your personalized apron before making these!

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 6 PEEPS brand marshmallows, cut into small pieces
  • Butter or oil for your pans
  • Additional marshmallows for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Stir to combine. Add in buttermilk, milk, and eggs, stirring just enough to start to combine. Add in melted butter and stir just until combined. Add in PEEPS Marshmallow pieces and stir until just combined. The batter will be lumpy and thick.
  2. Let batter sit for 2/3 minutes, this will allow time for the baking powder and buttermilk to help puff up the batter.
  3. Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into a skillet that has been preheated to medium-low / medium heat, and lightly brushed with oil or butter. The batter will be thick and you will need to use your scoop or spoon to help spread the batter out a bit.
  4. When bubbles start to appear to be browning, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Pancakes should only be flipped once.

Easter Deviled Eggs

Deviled Easter Eggs

A timeless Easter recipe, these deviled eggs are elevated with colorful, pastel hues and the perfect creamy filling. 

Ingredients:
  • 10 hard-boiled eggs
  • About 1/2 cup Duke's mayonnaise
  • Paprika
  • Mustard, minced chives, freshly ground pepper, bacon bits, etc (optional)

Instructions:
  1. Put the eggs in a pot and cover with water.
  2. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. After 15 minutes, cool the eggs with running cold water.
    1. Peel the eggs and cut them in half. It's okay if some of them tear a little, the filling will camouflage that.
    2. Put the yolks in a separate bowl.
    3. Next, you'll need some food coloring. Make the colors just as you would easter egg dye. A teaspoonful of cider vinegar in each glass helps. I used about 3 drops of food coloring in each glass.
    4. Place the eggs in the food-colored water. Take the eggs out when they're a pretty pastel color.
    5. Drain them on a paper towel.
    6. Mash the yolks with a fork. When they're uniformly crumbly, add about a 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Scoop from your measurement and add half at a time. Make it as creamy as you like. When it's nice and creamy, you can add any extras--mustard, minced chives, freshly ground pepper, bacon bits, etc.
    7. Put a little bit of the yolk mixture in each egg, so you don't run out, then go back and add a little more on top.
    8. Garnish with a little bit of paprika.

    This Easter recipe is a fun twist on the classic deviled eggs, perfect for your Easter brunch or dinner.
