Recipe type: Pancakes
Serves: 7-10
Ingredients
  • 3 cooking apples (I used the Granny Smith variety)
  • 6-ozs plain white flour
  • About 1- tbsp confectioner's or castor sugar (leave out if you want more savory pancakes)
  • 2 large eggs and 2 egg yolks
  • 2 cups milk
  • Pinch salt
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
  1. Sieve the flour, salt and sugar together.
  2. Part the flour mixture in the middle and gradually add the beaten eggs.
  3. With a whisk, mix from the inside to outside of the bowl.
  4. Slowly add the milk, stirring until the batter has bubbles.
  5. Grate or cut the apples into little pieces and add them to the mixture.
  6. Let the batter stand in the fridge for an hour before cooking or even overnight.
  7. I've also cooked the batter right away and while the pancakes are just as tasty, letting the batter stand for a while seems to make a lighter pancake.
  8. Then right before cooking, add the melted butter to the batter. This makes for fluffier pancakes.
  9. Heat some oil in the frying pan and ladle the mixture into the pan. Let the pancake brown and then flip it over.
  10. This mixture makes between 7 to 10 pancakes when made in an 8-inch frying pan. Pour a lot of batter in the pan and you'll have a thicker pancake and of course, less of them.
  11. Pour the mixture thinly on the pan and it has a crepe-like quality.
  12. Sprinkle a little sieved castor sugar on top of the pancake.
  13. Add syrup and/or some lemon juice.
  14. To garnish, use a lemon slice or sliced strawberries.
