Thanksgiving Leftovers Breakfast

Thanksgiving is over but there's food leftover too! Hopefully your family and friends will take some with them when they leave. If you have house guest who are staying a few days what do you feed them?  

Well here's a few dishes you may want to try. 

Cranberry Orange Scone 

1. Flour: 2 cups of all-purpose flour is my standard amount for homemade scones, but set extra aside for the work surface and your hands.
2. Granulated Sugar: Stick with around 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar for this dough. Feel free to slightly decrease, but keep in mind that the scone flavor and texture will slightly change.
3. Baking Powder: Adds lift.
4. Salt & Vanilla Extract: These kitchen staples add flavor.
5. Cold Butter: Besides flour, cold butter is the main ingredient in cranberry scones. It adds flavor, flakiness, crisp edges, and rise.
6. Heavy Cream: For the best tasting pastries, stick with a thick liquid such as heavy cream. Buttermilk works too! For a nondairy option, try using full-fat canned coconut milk. Avoid thinner liquids such as milk or almond milk—the result is often dry, bland, and flat scones.
7. Egg: 1 egg adds flavor, lift, and structure.
8. Orange Zest: The zest from one orange provides bright flavor and pairs perfectly with the tart cranberries. Don’t leave it out!
9. Cranberries: I prefer to use frozen cranberries because they keep the scone dough super cold. Fresh or even dried works too. Use the same amount.

  

Leftover Stuffing Waffles 

Preheat your waffle maker and spray it with cooking spray.
Add about 1 cup of stuffing to your waffle iron. For an extra gooey twist, mix in some shredded cheddar cheese into the stuffing before cooking! Cook until crispy and golden. 
Remove the waffle stuffing from the waffle iron and add mashed potatoes, turkey, cranberry sauce and top with gravy. These instructions may vary depending the ingredients you used for your stuffing. 

ENJOY!
