Apple Pancake from the Original Pancake House |
I've re-written the recipe to make only 1 pancake and made mine in an 8-inch cast iron pan. I also modified the directions to add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. When I did it the other way 'round, I ended up with too many lumps because there's more wet ingredients than dry. I didn't want to overmix it by getting all the lumps out so I ended up straining the batter before putting it into the cast iron pan.
Despite having no chemical leavening, this rose obligingly during baking, although it does deflate like a fallen souffle minutes after you take it out of the oven. This isn't too sweet so you can sweeten it up with syrup or a dusting a powdered sugar or fruit if you wish. It's best served warm but it wasn't too shabby at room temperature either.
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup of milk4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup of flour
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
- Put butter in cast iron pan; place pan in a 425-degree oven until the butter is melted and bubbly (you want it hot, but don’t burn the butter).
- Combine milk, eggs, and vanilla. Beat well.
- Combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add a little of the wet ingredients, mixing slowly to form a smooth paste. Gradually add the rest of the wet ingredients, mixing gently to prevent lumps. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the hot pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until well-raised and brown on top. Serve immediately. Serve with butter, syrup and/or powdered sugar if desired (optional).
Very few apples for a camalized apple pancke
ReplyDeleteIn the top picture from the Original Pancake House? There was a decent number of apples in it. It's probably hard to tell from the picture as the caramelized apples blended into the top. The other pictures and the recipe I posted doesn't contain apples so you definitely don't see any there.
