Tassajara Apple Pancake Sam
What is a "sam"? We don't really know. What we do know is that this simple
recipe produces a lovely, delicious popover-style dish. We recommend serving it with
maple syrup.
If you are doubling the recipe to serve 4, use a 15- or 16-inch pan.
| 1 medium apple, cored and sliced into thin wedges |
juice of 1 lemon |
| 2 T. brown sugar |
2 T. butter |
| 3 large eggs, beaten |
1/2 c. all-purpose flour |
| 1/2 c. milk |
ground cinnamon (or cloves) |
- Preheat the oven to 400o.
- Gently toss the apple slices with the lemon juice and brown sugar. Set aside.
- Put the butter in a round, 8- or 9-inch baking pan, and place the pan in the oven. Allow
roughly 5 minutes to melt the butter and heat it. Do not let it brown.
- While the butter is melting, whisk together the eggs, flour, and milk,
beating only briefly. Don't worry that it is still a bit lumpy. Pull the baking pan from
the oven, and pour into it the batter.
- Arrange the apple slices around the outer edge of the pan, putting the last two or
three in the middle. Top the apples with the remaining lemon juice-brown sugar mix.
Bake for 25 minutes, until firm and puffy.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the cinnamon, and serve with warmed maple syrup.
