PANCAKES
PANCAKES
The purrfect breakfast after a hot Valentine’s Night!!!!
Ive also served these pancakes as an entree, filled with vegetables or as a main dish, filled with meat.
Cooking time: 10-15 minutes.
Preparation time: 10 minutes.
Main cooking utensils: skillet, saucepan.
For 4-6 servings you need:
* 1 cup all-purpose flour.
* Pinch of salt.
* 2 eggs.
* 1 cup milk.
* Butter or oil.
Fruit filling and topping:
* 1 lb. baking apples, peeled, scant 1/4 cup water.
* 1/4 cup sugar.
* Scant 1/4 cup apricot jam.
* Few raisins.
1. Sift together the flour and salt.
2. Add beaten eggs and mix well.
3. Add milk and beat again.
4. Melt enough butter or oil in the skillet to just cover the bottom.
5. Pour in enough batter to make a thin layer.
6. Cook on either side until brown. Keep warm.
TO SERVE: Simmer the apples with the water and sugar until tender. Blend with the apricot jam and raisins. Use half as a filling for the pancakes, roll or fold them, then top with the remaining apple filling.
TO VARY: Tip the pancakes onto sugared paper, roll up and serve on a hot dish with wedges of lemon. You can use any fruit filling or even a meat filling. To keep hot, place the dish of pancakes over a pan of hot water.
