Mexican Table Cream

A super simple Saturday morning breakfast suggestion y'all.  If you have never tried Mexican table cream you really should. It's magically delicious.  My in laws always made it fresh on their farm and we used to make our own when hubby worked at the dairy.  Mmm.... Those were tasty times. 

My sweet father-in-law taught me me how to eat my cream with Mexican cucharas, AKA tortillas, as a spoon. His preference was corn and mine is flour.  They do make the perfect little scoop for eating up the cream and a host of other tasty vitals. 😀  I've been enjoying my cream this way ever since. 

With a little cracked sea salt and jalapeño or serrano pepper it's so yummy.

If you give a cook a Kindle...

The possibilities are endless.

In January I bought myself a new Kindle.  A bigger and better 32gb Kindle Fire HD.  The first thing I did after firing that baby up was go app searching.  After all, a few good apps...

Well let me tell you there is a veritable Smörgåsbord of apps out there. It's a virtual app feast for anyone who loves cooking, baking and just plain anything food related. 

While perusing the multitude of apps out there in Kindle Land I found an app for coffee recipes. Being the coffee lover that I am I knew that I had hit the coffee jackpot and I downloaded that app faster than you can say, "Give me a double chocolate frozen frappachino with whipped cream."

As I glanced through the app I spotted a recipe for Canadian Coffee.  I knew I had to try it because it sounded so doggone yummy.  And with a dollop of maple whipped cream on top how could I resist? I was certainly not disappointed as it was very yummy.

Here is the recipe in case you'd like to try it.  I gotta say that with or without the whiskey it's plum delish. I know 'cause I tried it both ways.

Canadian Coffee

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 cup whiskey

8 cups of coffee hot, black and strong

Topping:

3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream

4 teaspoons pure maple syrup

Whip the cream and the maple syrup until soft peaks form.  Serve over hot coffee.
