Apple Pancakes

Making them lunch every day makes me explore new things or just go back to the really old ones: the things your mum made you when you were little. One of my favorite things my mum made for dinner when my dad was on a business trip were pancakes – I believe my dad didn’t think pancakes were proper dinner so we only ate them when he wasn’t there. Every one of us had their favorite; she always made a couple of those for everybody. Mine were apple pancakes.

Today for lunch I decided to bake the girls a stack of apple pancakes. It’s actually surprisingly easy (again I’m not really a sweet baker) to make the batter by adding 1 egg and 2 dl milk and a bit of salt per 100 grams of flower. It’s even more surprising that I often hear Dutchies who live abroad complain about how they can’t find a good pancake ‘mix’ where you only have to add milk to it. I don’t know what is in this mix but it only substitute flower and eggs.

Anyway, making the really thin apple pancakes I like so much myself was a huge hit with the little ones. My plan was to make a huge stack of them and then put it in the middle of the table like my mum used to, but I guess they were so attracted by the smell they were begging for some the whole time I was baking. In the end I didn’t even get to put two pancakes on top of each other because they already ate one before the next was ready.
