One of our Breakfast Recipes at Arbor Bed and Breakfast

One of our most popular breakfasts at Arbor B&B in Prince George is our "Dutch Baby  Pancakes".  This morning we had guests from Reunion Island ( a beautiful place in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar).  The Dutch Baby Pancakes were a hit with seasonal strawberries, blueberries, orange zest and a topping of icing sugar.   The strange thing is none of our gusts from Holland have ever heard of "Dutch Baby Pancakes" prepared this way so we are a bit unsure where the name came from!  Many of our guests have requested the recipe so I have included it below:

Dutch Baby Pancakes ( per person)

• preheat the oven to 475F
• preheat individual casserole dishes ( approximately 6" in diameter)
• Spray with non-stick oil
• for each pancake put in a blender 1 egg, 1/4c flour, 1/4c milk and a pinch of salt - blend well on high
• Pour into the preheated casserole and cook 12 minutes ( they will rise up and brown)
• Turn out onto warm plates and fill with fruit in season.  Top with orange zest and a sprinkle of icing sugar
• This breakfast can be served as is for our "meatless" guests or accompanied with bacon
• For the Canadian touch I suggest a drizzle of maple syrup.

Bon Appetit!

Bikers, hikers, trail riders , naturalists and other outdoor enthusiasts who don't know about Pidherny Trails in the North Nechako Bench of Prince George ( right next to Arbor Bed and Breakfast) have a great experience waiting.  This 650 ha. area has been used year round for about 50 years.  It became an official established recreational site on Crown land two years ago.

The  International Mountain Biking Association is helping to give the trails the same standard as found in Whistler as to width and rating the difficulty with international signage of a green circle, blue square and black diamond.

Development of the trails locally is by the Prince George Cycling Club.   For a map of the trails click on the map.
