Rainy Days Bring Breakfast for Dinner

Spring is headed our way finally. The snow banks are slowly melting away, getting some help from the rain today. Of course rain when it's still mildly cold is kind of grey and depressing.  A perfect excuse for a nice warm "breakfast for dinner" night. Nothing fills you up like pancakes and this recipe is certainly no exception. I'm not a huge pancake girl but I like this because it's sort of a deep dish pancake instead of those flapjacks that immediately come to mind. No syrup necessary!

German Apple Pancake

Ingredients:
4 eggs                3/4 c flour                  3/4 c milk               1/2 tsp salt             1/4 c butter
2 medium apples, thinly sliced            1/4 c sugar              1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 400.
  2. Put 2 9 inch round cake pans in oven.
  3. Beat eggs, flour, milk and salt on medium.
  4. Remove pans from oven.
  5. Place 2 tbsp. butter in each pan and rotate until it covers bottom and sides.
  6. Arrange half the apple slices in each pan.
  7. Divide batter evenly between pans.
  8. Mix sugar and cinnamon.
  9. Sprinkle 2 tbsp. over batter in each pan.
  10. Bake uncovered 20-25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Simple, yes?  I agree but oh so tasty. I find you really can't go wrong with breakfast foods.

As always, have fun!
