Dutch Pancake with Spiced Apples

For breakfast, brunch or dinner!  From Food and Drink 2000

4 eggs
1 cup milk
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp butter, softened

SPICED APPLES
2 large apples, peeled and cored
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger


  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, salt and sugar until just mixed.
  3. Place butter in a 10 inch skillet.  Heat on the stove until butter is sizzling, about 2 minutes.  Pour the batter into the skillet and place in oven.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden.
  5. While pancake is baking, slice apples into 12 sections.
  6. Melt butter over medium low heat.  Add sugar, cinnamon and ginger and stir together.  Add apples and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Remove pancake from oven and serve immediately with warm spiced apples, the pancake will not stay puffed for more than a few minutes.
**Tip - when making pancake batter, don't overmix the wet and dry ingredients, it makes a rubbery pancake.  When frying pancakes, wait until the edges are bubbly and the bubbles start to burst, then turn over.  The first side takes about 2 minutes, the second side about 1 minute.

Pancakes don't have to be made and eaten immediately.   The batter will stand overnight in the refrigerator and cooked pancakes can be reheated successfully in a 350F oven for 3 to 5 minutes
