on Feb 16th, 2010Who needs an excuse for pancakes?

I just realized it’s International Pancake Day.  As if I needed an excuse to make pancakes.  That said, in honour of the “international” aspect of the day, I’m sharing my favourite German Pancake recipe.  It’s quick.  It’s easy.  And it’s deeelicious.

This feeds 2 if you’re willing to share.

  • 2  Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup  granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp  cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup    unsalted butter ( 1/2 stick)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Toss apples with both sugars and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Mix milk and eggs in a blender or food processor; add flour and salt and mix to combine.

Melt butter in prepared skillet over medium heat. Add apple mixture; cook, stirring often, until sugar melts, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour batter over.

Bake until pancake is puffed and golden, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve at once.
