Breakfast

Buttermilk Griddle Cakes
Serves: 4

2 T butter; 1 egg; 11⁄4 c buttermilk; 11⁄4 c flour; 1 t maple sugar; 1 t baking powder; 1⁄2 t baking soda; 1⁄2 t salt

Melt butter in a small saucepan until it just starts to brown. Remove from heat. In a mixing bowl lightly beat egg and add buttermilk. Add dry ingredients and brown butter; combine. Let rest 30 minutes. Heat a cast-iron griddle or skillet over medium heat. For each cake, pour ⅓ cup batter onto griddle. Cook until golden on both sides.

Couldn’t have said it better…

A big thank you to Deborah Stone her eloquent description of the glamping experience at The Resort at Paws Up:

“In my fantasy, I’m lying upon a feather bed draped in 300-thread-count Egyptian silk sheets, while being lulled gently to sleep by the soothing sounds of a nearby river. I’m cozy and dry, yet the great outdoors is right outside my door.

And when I’m hungry, I head for a nearby dining pavilion to enjoy a delicious gourmet meal. A khaki-clad camping butler is at my beck and call and tends to all the details, from providing wine service to arranging a day of exciting adventures. And every evening ends with a ready-made bonfire and a nightly S’mores fest.

It’s a fantasy that can become reality when you visit The Resort at Paws Up, a luxury ranch set along the Blackfoot River in Montana’s pristine wilderness. This grand enclave is a mecca for adrenaline junkies who love the outdoors, but appreciate a high level of comfort and personal service.

Montana Master Chefs 2009

Montana Master Chefs is always a highlight of the year and 2009 was no exception.  This year’s winery lineup was one of the best ever with Frog’s Leap Winery, Joseph Phelps Vineyards and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars.  We enjoyed some of the finest wines from Napa Valley right in the heart of the Blackfoot River Valley.  Our chef line up was equally as impressive with Kent Rathbun, Executive Chef/Proprietor of Abacus and Jasper’s Restaurants in Dallas; the last two seasons Top Chef winners, Stephanie Izard and Hosea Rosenberg; and our very own resort chef, Wes Coffel.   It was a weekend filled with the finest things in life: fine food, great wine, friends, family, fun and all with a sense of adventure.   If you didn’t get a chance to join us this year, go to www.montanamasterchefs.com to see what you missed and mark your calendars for 2010 (September 30-October 3, 2010).
