I love to eat a good pancake without syrup. Sometimes I’ll use just butter or honey. This recipe combines both into a delicious, simple topping. The pancakes in this recipe are light, fluffy and have a subtle sweetness to them that go perfectly with the honey butter.

Sure, there are probably zillions of blueberry muffin recipes out here in cyberspace. Maybe you even have your own recipe – but are they really the best? I know it sounds it bit presumptuous of me to think my blueberry muffin recipe is the best one out there, but it really is. Why? It all comes down to ratios. I’ve been reading Micheal Ruhlman’s book “Ratio: the simple codes behind the craft of everyday cooking”. It is phenomenal! It is a book about (you guessed it) ratios of basic ingredients needed for basic recipes, like muffins. This recipe is a modification of his ratio suggestion for quick breads.

Custards are among my favorite desserts. I love the smooth, creamy texture and delicate, subtle flavors. I wanted something other than your everyday flan or creme caramel, so I decided to experiment with different milks and sweeteners. This one came out the best – it is absolutely delicious!
