3 large eggs
¾ cup milk
¾ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ tablespoons butter (melt in pan just prior to pouring in batter)
Filling:
1 pound apples (3-4 apples)
¼ cup melted butter
¼ cup sugar or brown sugar
Cinnamon to taste
Preparation
· Preheat oven to 450* · Use a blender to mix together eggs, milk, flour and salt until very smooth · In a heavy 12 inch skillet, melt butter. · As soon as it is quite hot, pour in batter and put the skillet immediately into the oven · After about 5 minutes, turn the oven down to 350*, continue baking for another 10 minutes. · The pancake should be light brown & crisp
(During the first 5-10 minutes, of baking the pancake may puff up in large bubbles. If it does, pierce it with a skewer or a fork to deflate)
While the pancake is baking, prepare the filling: · Peel & thinly slice a pound of apples. · Sauté them lightly in the ¼ cup butter and ¼ cup sugar · Season to taste with cinnamon · Cook about 8-10 minutes over a medium flame. The apples should be tender but not too soft. · (The filling can be prepared ahead and reheated just before serving)
When the pancake is ready, slide it onto a platter, pour the apple filling on one side and fold over. A little melted butter can be poured drizzled over the top and powdered sugar sprinkled through a sieve.
Serve at once.
