I got my new cooking light magazine in the mail the other day and right on the cover this delious looking recipe. I have to say their picture looked much better than mine but it was good..Does it really matter what it looks like if it tastes good?

I didnt have a 10 inch pan so i had to use my 12 inch pan. I'm not sure if that was a problem or not. it was very fluffy pancake but tastey. Brad said it would make a good dessert too.

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt (i omitted)

1/8 teaspoon grated whole nutmeg

1 cup egg substitute (I didn't have any egg substitute, so i use 3 reg eggs, this might have caused a problem, i will try it next time with the substitute and see if it comes out different)

1 cup fat-free milk

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Apple mixture:

Cooking spray 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided

Homemade English Muffins

We were at the grocery store one day looking at the Sodium left in English Muffins and I told Brad I would make him some so i took on the Challenge today. This is the first bread recipe i have ever made, it was so much fun and so EASY. It made like 22 english muffins. I got the recipe from Allrecipes
I used more wheat flour than white b/c i wanted them to be "Healthier" I cooked them in a PAM sprayed frying pan on med heat b/c that is all that i had and it worked perfect. took a little longer. hope you enjoy them. (Click on allrecipes to get the recipe)
