[Inez] German Apple Pancake

This is one of my favorite breakfast foods to make when I can wait the 25 minutes for it to bake. My mama Jamie taught me how to make it. The magic number for the ingredients is 3:

• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1 apple, peeled and sliced

You also need a cast iron pan (preferably a ~12 inch pan -- mine is smaller and my pancake comes out very thick and not as crispy as I would like).

First of all, preheat your oven to 425. Right before you mix your ingredients, put your cast iron pan into the oven to get hot. Then mix your milk, flour, and eggs. You could put it through a sieve to avoid any lumps in the batter (you'll see what I mean in the last picture -- I did not put the batter through a sieve).

Now put 1-2 tablespoons of butter in your cast iron pan to melt (leave the pan in the oven). Slice your apple if you haven't done that yet and mix it into the batter. 

Pour your batter into the cast iron pan:

10 minutes at 425 Fahrenheit.

25 minutes at 350 Fahrenheit.

Eat immediately with maple syrup and peanut butter or yogurt (or whatever you fancy).
