1 2/3 cup flour, all-purpose
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cup milk
2 good eating apples, not
1 . golden delicious, peeled
1 . and cored
1 sunflower oil for frying
CINNAMON BUTTER
1 stick butter, softened
2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup soft light brown sugar
Directions
First make the cinnamon butter. Beat all the ingredients together
until the mixture is smooth. Store in a covered container in the
refrigerator until serving. (This keeps for 7-10 days.)
Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and cinnamon into a bowl. Beat
in the melted butter, beaten eggs and milk. Grate the apples into the
mixture and mix in well.
Oil a griddle, or a heavy-basedfrylng pan, or an electric hotplate,
or if you have an Aga or Rayburn, the cooler hotplate. (For my
American readers an Aga is a constantly burning range-like cooker
with two or four ovens and hotplates. It gives an even heat and very
consistent results.) Drop spoonsful of the apple batter on to the
oiled surface, making pancakes of 2-3 inches / 5-7-5cm in diameter
and leaving a space between them. Cook for about 2 minutes or until
small bubbles appear over the surface, then, with a palette knife
(pancake turner), slip each over to cook on the other side.
As they cook, remove the pancakes and keep them warm on a plate, and
covered with a cloth. When all the pancakes are cooked, serve them
hot with the cinnamon butter. "Lady MacDonald's Scotland: The Best of

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into the far past, at least as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like bay, mint and dill. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
