Dutch "Apple" Pancake

[NewMrsG]

DH, who's in charge of breakfast in our house, made this recipe this morning for the third time in the last 6 weeks - it's delicious, easy, and very healthy.
The first time we made it we realized late that we were out of apples, so substituted bananas and blueberries - it was so good that that's the only way we prepare it now. He doubles the recipe and uses 1 chopped up banana and about 3/4 cup frozen blueberries (from our blueberry picking this summer).

Thought I'd share.

What size pan does this go into?

Thanks,

That will certainly get made in this house. I like the way the traditional pancake has been de-fatted. I usually do a straightforward oven version, eggs and all, when I get a craving, and the Pole in me makes me put fruit and sour cream on it, just like my Babci would have! :)

Thanks for sharing!

they're also called "dutch babies." our family's made them for years, albeit sans apples, topped with a bit of lemon juice and sprinkled confectioner's sugar. we usually use a 2-quart flat, square, corningware casserole. i was just reading Deborah Madison's Greens cookbook, and she uses the same principle in a savory dish with 1-1/2 lbs. sauteed onions, thyme, and shredded gruyere, which i'm dying to try.

We just put it into a 9" skillet - would depend on whether you double the recipe, how much fruit you use, etc.

I should have mentioned too that I don't know the original source of the recipe - it came from a recipe compilation "cookbook" that a friend of mine put together for me years ago.

So a 9" skillet if the recipe is doubled, yes?

I want to try my new pre-seasoned 9" cast iron skillet on this one :D

Thanks for posting the recipe -- it looks fantastic.

Have a quick question -- I see that it uses non-fat dry milk. I have never used that before (not sure if I have ever seen it in the store, but since I never looked :rolleyes: ) Just curious if that does anything special or do you think that is just what the person that created decided to use? I've only seen dry milk mentioned in recipes a few times. But then again, I haven't seen close to as many recipes as some of you BBers.

If it wasn't pouring out, I would go the grocery and pick up the stuff for tomorrow morning.

Thanks again.

I'm also interested in this recipe but wonder if I could skip the nonfat dry milk, as I don't eat milk in any form. What do you think?

[Sami]

Applecrisp, you can use 1/2 cup fat free milk instead of the dry powder and water.

memartha can you drink soy milk? I suppose you could try it with juice but it will change the taste.

[memartha]

Thanks, Sami. That makes sense. Soy milk would work great.

ETA: I made this this morning. It was very good! Modifications: I used one apple, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup vanilla soymilk and cut the vanilla to 1/2 tsp. DD and I ate about half of it, with powdered sugar on top. I think DS would like it, too. Thank you! We're now late for church but have very happy tummies.

Thanks NewMrsG for posting the recipe -- I ended up making it this morning since I ended up having all the ingredients. And thanks Sami for mentioning that I could use 1/2 cup skim instead (since that is what I had).

I thought it was great, and nice to have something warm for breakfast when it is so called outside.

Thanks again,
