Ingredients

Basic Pancake Recipe:

2 cups all-purpose flour – sifted

1 tablespoon sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

2 eggs – gently beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 tablespoons butter – melted

Sautéed Apples:

2 large apples – peeled and sliced

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 Juice of lemon

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon – sliced almonds

Sour Cream

Preparation

For the Apples:

In a medium bowl combine the apples with the brown sugar, lemon juice and sliced almonds. Heat a medium sized frying pan with the butter and add the apple mixture. Sauté the apples on low while baking the pancakes.

Pancakes:

Combine all of the dry ingredients for the pancake batter in a mixing bowl. In a separate smaller bowl combine the eggs, milk, vanilla and butter and stir into the dry ingredients. Stir until rather smooth.

Pour the batter on a hot, lightly buttered griddle. When bubbles form and break open, flip over.

Serve the pancakes with a spoonful of sour cream, topped with the sautéed apples and your favorite syrup.
