“Perfect for breakfast or brunch and a nice treat for children of all ages.” – Helga the Kitchen Witch

INGREDIENTS

2 eggs
1 large or 2 small apples (peeled)
1 cup sifted flour
4 tablespoon sugar
pinch of salt
½ cup of milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
oil for pan frying

PREPARATION

  1. Grate apples on a box grater or slice apples into thin slices.
  2. Sift together flour, sugar and salt.
  3. Using a rotary beater, whip eggs until they’re light and frothy. Turn flour mixture into beaten eggs. Use beater to whip until you have a smooth batter. Fold apples into batter.
  4. Set stove top to medium heat. Cover the bottom of a heated 10” to 12” frying pan with cooking oil.
  5. Using a serving spoon, scoop three spoonfuls of batter onto the frying pan.
  6. Cook with medium heat until pancakes are golden brown; turn pancakes and brown on the second side.

This classic European-style pancake is easy to make and loaded with flavor. Serve with cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream. Also good plain. Perfect for breakfast or brunch and a nice treat for children of all ages.
