I always fancy a lovely continental breakfast - croissants, pain-au-chocolat etc!.!.!. or scotch pancakes or crumpets and golden syrup - that sort of thing for a change!. You can do a selection and people can pick what they want!. It's best washed down with orange juice, or even better, bucks fizz!. It's a real treat and not quite as filling as a fry up (I never fancy slaving over a hot stove on Christmas morning when I'll be doing it for the rest of the day!)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Homemade cinnamon rolls, always a favorite!. Be sure to make them medium size so as no has to obligate themselves to a huge breakfast!.
Use crushed walnuts and/or pecans, I don't have the exact recipe around, but they make a great breakfast for a group of people and if done correctly can make x-mas morning special
Good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com
