Astoundingly Yummy. Traditional Made a Little More Healthy.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of flour
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup, or just under, half milk and half cream.
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla paste.
Whisk eggs, liquids and vanilla until combined in a medium-sized jug.
Add to this the flour and sugar.
Whisk until there are no lumps.
Set aside.
Heat oven to 450C.
3-4 large apples, Braeburn, Grannies or even Rose, peeled, cored and medium-thinly sliced.
2 Tablespoons butter
3 flat dessertspoons of soft brown sugar.
Sprinkle of cinnamon.
Heat butter in 10 inch/25cm pan with an ovenproof handle until sizzling.
Put in the apples and sugar, sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
Stir with rubber spatula if the pan is non-stick, until golden. About 10 minutes.
Pour batter over and around the apples.
Immediately put the pan onto the middle rack in the oven.
Turn the heat down to 425C.
Bake until the edges have risen above the pan, and the top is golden.
About 17 to 18 minutes.
I turned on the fan oven for a couple of minutes towards the end to
ensure the mix looked golden. Or you could turn it on to grill to
do the same.
Using oven gloves, invert the pancake onto a plate, loosening first with a heat-proof utensil
around the edges especially. If it is not a non-stick pan you may have to use a spatula to quickly loosen the whole thing. Be warned the pan is really hot!
Squeeze a little lemon juice in dots all over the pancake, then drench it with icing sugar. Cut it into wedges.
Serve it with creme fraiche or a mix of yoghurt and cream, double or light.
Devour this with strong coffee. ( Close your eyes- you could be in Europe.)
