Apfelpfannkuchen (German Apple Pancakes)

Servings: 6 Servings
Category: Fruits | Penndutch | Breakfast
Ingredients

  • 2 lg Cooking apples (Yellow
  • -Delicious, or Granny Smith)
  • 1/4 c Butter
  • 1 c Flour
  • 1 c Milk
  • 1 ts Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 ts Salt
  • 1/4 ts Nutmeg, grated
  • Confectioners sugar

Directions
Preheat oven to 475. Peel, core and very thinly slice the apples: you should have approximately 1-1/2 cups. Melt 3 T sp. of the butter over medium low heat in a small fry pan, and saute the apples until they are just tender. Keep apples warm while preparing the batter. Place a 9 or 10 inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat for at least 5 minutes–the pan has to be very hot for this to work. When it is well heated, add the remaining 2 T sp. of butter to melt and put the skillet back in the oven; the butter should be very hot buy not brown when you add the apples and the batter. Place the flour, milk, vanilla, salt and nutmeg in a blender and whirl until smooth. Remove the skillet from the oven, quickly arrange the warm apple slices over the melted butter, and pour the batter evenly over all. Bake for 15 min., reduce heat to 375 and bake 10 min longer. The pancake will puff and climb up the sides of the pan. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar, then cut in wedges and serve with maple syrup. Note: If you do not use apples, add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter to the hot skillet.

Anglesey Eggs

Servings: 4 Servings
Category: Barry
Ingredients

  • 1 pt Milk
  • 1 1/2 lb Leeks
  • 8 Free Range Eggs, Size 2
  • 1/2 ts Salt
  • 1 tb Heaped, Cornflour
  • 1 oz Butter
  • pn Nutmeg
  • 2 oz Grated Caerphilly Cheese
  • -or cheddar

Directions
Trim the leeks and wash them thoroughly. Cut into 1 inch lengths. Put the milk ( or milk / cream mixture) into a non-stick saucepan with the leeks and bring to the boil. If you like your leeks soft rather than slightly crisp, let them boil for a minute or two. Remove the leeks (leaving the milk in the pan) and put them into a baking dish. Put the eggs cold into boiling water and cook for exactly five minutes. Remove, cool and shell. The eggs should be soft in the middle but the whites will be firm. Lay the shelled eggs on the leeks. Make a white sauce by whisking in the cornflour, salt and butter and bring gently to the boil while you whisk. When the sauce is smooth, thick and glossy, pour it over the eggs and leeks, sprinkle the top with nutmeg and grated cheese and put it under the grill until it is hot and bubbling. Don’t leave it too long or the eggs will be over-cooked. Serve at once with lots of crusty bread and butter From Gemini’s MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
