Last week Ihad a lot of fun reading the many ways you use Carnation Evaporated Milk. Some of you have found very many creative ways to use it and some of you learned new ways to use it. Today I want to share a recipe that will serve a double purpose. Not only will you be able to use in-season apples but also the Carnation Evaporated Milk you have on your cupboards. I call this recipe for German Apple Pancake the “Endless House guest Pancake Recipe.” Because if you make it for a guest at your home not only will they ask for you to make it again
but they also won’t want to leave!
My husband who’s from Chicago, loves having apple pancakes from “the Original Pancake House.” I know I have a lot of readers from Illinois so I know a lot of you know how good those pancakes are. Getting an apple pancake there is a must on every trip we take to Chicago. After trying lots and lots of recipes (including one published by the Chicago Tribune and supposedly used at the Original Pancake house), the recipe I am about to share is the best one.
German Apple Pancake (serves 4-5 people)
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1 can of Carnation Evaporated Milk
1.5 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
6-8 tablespoons unsalted butter (or butter substitute like Smart Balance)
4 medium tart apples peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup packed brown sugar
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon.
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
First, mix together the eggs, milk, flour and vanilla. Beat until there are no lumps and set aside.
In a 10″ or 12″ nonstick pan that’s oven safe, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the apples slices for a few minutes until they start getting soft. Mix in the brown sugar and the cinnamon.
Remove pan from the heat and pour batter over the apple mixture in the pan. Place pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until pancake is puffy and golden. Remove from oven and let sit out for a couple of minutes. Then place a large plate over the pan and flip the pancake onto the plate.
I hope you would check out this recipe. I can assure you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!
