Apple Pancake Recipe


This is the one at the Original Pancake House....so delicious :)


Ingredients:

2 tart cooking apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 eggs, beaten and room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
7 tablespoons butter

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425° F. Place oven rack in the middle of your oven.

In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, salt, flour, milk, and vanilla extract; beat until batter is smooth (the batter will be thin, but very smooth and creamy); set aside.

In a large heavy ovenproof frying pan or a cast-iron skillet (I like to use my 10-inch cast-iron skillet) over medium heat, melt butter, tilting pan to cover sides. Add apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture. Stir and let cook for 5 to 7 minutes to slightly cook the apple slices; remove from heat.

Pour prepared pancake batter over the apples into the baking pan. Place pan in preheated oven and bake approximately 20 minutes or until puffed above sides of the pan and lightly browned (it may puff irregularly in the center); remove from oven.

Remove pancake from the baking pan by flipping upside down onto a serving platter (apples and cinnamon will be on top). Once out of the oven, the pancake will begin to deflate.

To serve, cut into serving-size wedges and transfer to individual serving plates. Serve with an optional dusting of powdered sugar over the top

Makes 1 large pancake of 2 to 4 servings (depending on your appetite).

HICKORY BOURBON SALMON



Serves 2

2 (8 oz) salmon fillets
2 teaspoons chopped chives
1 cup bourbon
1/4 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup olive oil

Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir to dissolve sugar. Add the oil. Remove any skin on salmon fillets. Put fillets in baking dish and pour marinade over and let sit in the fridge for one hour or longer. The longer it can sit the more the marinade seeps into the fillets.

Now you can put this on the grill or cook it on the stove top on medium heat. 5-7 minutes per side or until the fillet is cooked to your desire. Brush the marinade over the fillets as they are cooking. Arrange the fillets on a plate and sprinkle with the chopped chives

Almond Fruit Tart

Ingredients
PASTRY
1 cup oat flour
1 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup skinned ground almonds
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
4 tablespoons diced cold butter or Spectrum Spread
4 - 5 tablespoons cold purified water

FILLING
1/4 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup unbleached flour
1/4cup frozen orange juice concentrate
1 egg yolk
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons Amaretto

JAM GLAZE AND FRUIT TOPPING
1/2 cup all-fruit strawberry or apricot jam or jelly
3 tablespoons purified water
2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 pints (3 cups) raspberries (or poached pears)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Make the pastry: Put all the ingredients for the pastry, using 3 tablespoons water, in a food processor and pulse briefly about 6 times, just until smooth, about 30 seconds. If the dough seems very dry, add 1 or 2 more tablespoons water and pulse briefly again. Cut a piece of parchment paper that measures 10 x 10 inches, roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in the paper, and chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. The parchment paper may seem large for the dough ball, but you will be using it later in the recipe.
After the dough has chilled, unwrap it and roll it out on the parchment paper with a rolling pin, making a circle that stretches about 11/2 inches beyond the edges of a 9-inch pie pan. Flip the parchment paper over onto the pie pan and peel off the paper. Press down on the dough with your fingers, molding it to the bottom and sides of the pie pan. Trim excess dough with a knife so that it is flush with the edge of the pan.
Refrigerate, covered, for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the refrigerator and bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven until the crust is dry in the center. You can test for dryness by inserting a toothpick in the center; when the toothpick comes out dry, the crust is done. Let it cool for 15 - 20 minutes.
Make the filling: Process all the filling ingredients in a food processor until smooth and pour into the crust. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top puffs up and is golden brown. Let cool.
Make the glaze: Heat the jam and water together in a saucepan on low heat until syrupy. Strain the glaze through a wire mesh strainer over a bowl. Brush the syrup over the tart. Arrange the kiwi slices around the perimeter of the tart and the fresh raspberries (or poached pears) in the middle. Brush another layer of jam glaze over the raspberries and kiwi to make the fruit shine and to hold them together. To serve, quarter the pie, then cut each quarter into 3 pieces.
