Welcome back to Courtney Cooks Star Wars, your blog for Star Wars recipe geekery.
After a short two week hiatus, your favorite blog is back (I know you missed it). So there has been much news in the way of Star Wars Episode VII recently, especially in regards to the Expanded Universe books. Seeing as I pull my recipe ideas from food included in all aspects of the Expanded Universe, I was happy to see there will be many new stories on the horizon. I will continue using food and drink from the current EU, and will of course include any new ideas from the new canon.
With that being said, here is this week’s recipe from the current EU. Looking back on my first blogs, I noticed there have been no breakfast foods. Well, fear not breakfast lovers, this week is Hotcakes, a breakfast often made by Mirax Horn. First mentioned in Fate of the Jedi: Outcast by Aaron Allston, hotcakes were often served Corellian-style. There isn’t much more said about them, and the first thing one would think of would be traditional pancakes. I’ve mixed it up a bit here and am using a crepe recipe. I rule at making crepes, and so can you!
