I have had the good fortune of spending the night at an Amish home and making up in the morning to the smell of fresh, puffy cinnamon rolls lifting from the oven. Wow, oh, wow.

Breakfast in an Amish home is usually a pretty hearty affair, that can include anything from sausage to cookies. Some other popular Amish breakfast items include:
- Pancakes: Amish pancakes are made with simple ingredients like flour, milk, eggs, and baking powder. They are typically cooked on a griddle and served with butter and maple syrup.
- Waffles: Amish waffles are also made with simple ingredients and are cooked on a waffle iron. They are typically served with butter and maple syrup, or with fruit toppings like strawberries and blueberries.
- Scrapple: Scrapple is a Pennsylvania Dutch dish made from pork scraps, cornmeal, and spices. It is typically fried and served with eggs and toast.
- Sausage gravy and biscuits: Sausage gravy is a creamy sauce made from sausage, milk, and flour. It is typically served over biscuits or toast.
