I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Schmarran (Schmorm)

2 cups flour
6 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder (optional)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups milk

Mix together well with wire whisk to incorporate air into batter.  Heat large frying pan; add a little bacon grease or oil when pan is hot.  (Bacon grease is best.)  Pour in all the batter.  Brown on bottom, lifting sides occasionally to let uncooked batter run under.  When little or no liquid batter remains on top, cut into quarters turning each quarter over to brown other side; cut into small pieces with two knives; continue browning until each piece is lightly browned.  Serve with syrup.

This is my aunt Opal Dietrich’s recipe for a traditional German dish.  She always served it with homemade blueberry syrup.  As a child I loved this special dish when I was at her house for breakfast.  Adam, Eric, and Joel learned to make Schmorm for breakfast at an early age.

    From one of the Piotrowski sons.
    You can also add 1 to 2 tsp vanilla or almond extract and a 1/2 cup sugar for added flavor. You can add cinnamon also.
    Melt half stick of butter over everything when done cooking, then serve with syrup.
    Many good memories eating Schmarran in the morning with family.
