Tuesday Brunch Happiness { Dutch Oven Pancake w/ Cranberry Orange Compote}

Today, I had the day off and took full advantage of it. I didn’t even get out of bed till 10am!! Yikes! Oh so lazy! It is very rare I get to sleep in so I didn’t feel that bad. I was in the mood for something really good to eat that I could sit down and enjoy. A Dutch Oven Pancake popped into my head. They are so quick and easy to make. Plus they are so cool to see bake. I still had cranberrys left, so I decided to use them as my topping. Add a little orange to it and your brunch becomes a party! Today’s party consisted of my daughter and I. Even though the recipe says serves 4, it really depends on how greedy the guest are. We were greedy and ate the whole thing. Just the two of us. It was so good though. I would keep that in mind when preparing this bit of brunch happiness.

  2. This is my all-time favorite for breakfast – especially with some powdered sugar and lemon. It takes a little longer to prepare than most breakfasts, but the payoff is completely worth the patience!
