This is my attempt at recreating the delicious pancakes I had at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport. It's a tasty meal that satisfies sweet and salty brunch cravings! Regularly I'm not a big fan of pancakes, but this is different. These pancakes are more dense. (Serves 2)
Ingredients
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
4 slices bacon, cooked (I used maple bacon)
1 apple, cored, peeled and sliced thinly (I used Royal Gala)
sprinkle of lemon juice
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 tsp butter
icing sugar to taste
maple syrup OR I used a half and half mixture of molasses and corn syrup as it is a little less sweet
Instructions
1.Turn apple slices in lemon juice so they retain their colour.
2. Heat 1/2 tsp butter in small pan. When melted, add apples and stir fry for about 10 min or until slightly mushy.
3. Meanwhile, combine flour with baking powder. Add enough cold water to make a thick batter. Stir in eggs. Heat remaining butter in a large skillet then spoon in batter.
4. Immediately arrange apple and bacon slices on top of the pancake. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and cook until pancake is brown.
5. Using a dinner plate or pot lid, carefully turn the pancake over so that the apples, sugar and bacon caramelize.
6. Turn once again, sprinkle with more cinnamon and powdered sugar and serve hot.
