Directions
2 TB sugar
1 c flour
1 ts baking powder
: Salt
1 1/4 c milk
2 eggs
1/2 ts vanilla
4 TB butter
2 lb or 4 Golden Delicious or
: Granny Smith appl -- peeled,
: co
: quartered and cut into
1/8 -inch slices
1 TB sugar mixed with
1/2 ts ground cinnamon
You must have a non-stick skillet or this won't work. Whisk sugar,
flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt together. Beat milk with
eggs and vanilla and whisk this into batter; let stand while you cook
the apples.
Melt the butter in a large skillet. When foaming subsides, add the
apples, cover and cook gently for 5 minutes or until soft. Uncover,
raise the heat and evaporate the moisture. When the moisture has
almost completely evaporated, add the sugar and finish boiling the
juices away.
Preheat the broiler with rack set 6 to 7 inches away from heat source.
Oil the bottom and sides of a 10-inch non-stick pan with butter or
non-stick vegetable cooking spray and heat for a minute. Add 1/3 cup
of batter to the pan and tilt so it is well coated. Set skillet on
very low heat and cook for 30 seconds. Gently arrange about 1/4 of
the apple mixture on the first pancake. Pour in 1/3 cup more batter
over the apples to cover them as best as possible. Cook pancake for a
minute over medium heat, lower the heat and cook 2 minutes longer.
Broil for about 3 minutes or until pancake is cooked through and
golden. With a spatula loosen pancake around the edges and transfer
to a platter (cover loosely with foil until all 4
pancakes are done or serve immediately). Repeat procedure with other 3
pancakes; serve dusted with confectioner's sugar.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, generally, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the Romans used a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, fennel and dill. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
