Apple Cheddar Pancakes
This recipe was gleaned from an Egg Cookbook my MIL gave me. I gave the book on and lost the copy I had made of the recipe. So after a long internet hunt I found the exact same recipe at the Alberta Egg Producer’s Website. They called it Golden Cheddar Pancakes.
Dry Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
pinch of cinnamon
Once that is stirred mix in:
1 1/2 cup grated cheddar
1 grated apple ~note if the peel cooks soft, I include it. But not the core!
Wet Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
Mix the two together quickly. If you want super fluffy pancakes, let the batter sit a few minutes for the Baking Powder to go through its first action. This will make a very thick batter. If you like thinner pancakes because cooking thick ones seems to always result in burnt pancakes, up the milk by 1/4 cup.
I always use butter when “cooking” pancakes.
Perhaps the next time I make these, I will remember to take a photo and include that for your drool factor.
Mmmm, sounds yum. I love cheddar & apples together. In fact, that was my evening snack last night.
Do you know which apple peels cook up soft? I have no clue.
I pulled this list of Cooking Apples of Wikipedia:
* Blenheim Orange
* Bramley
* Caville Blanc
* Edward VII
* Granny Smith (also used as an eating apple)
* Gravenstein
* Grenadier
* James Grieve (also used as an eating apple)
* Rhode Island Greening
* Jonathan (also used as an eating apple)
* Royal Gala
* McIntosh
* Crab apple
I have to say my favourite for cooking and making apple sauce and such are the Crispin Apples. They are also known as Mutsu Apples. I won’t peel these apples.
Granny Smith, Red Delicous, Macintosh are a few of the apples that I think must be peeled.
And yes, I love snacking on Apples and Cheese too. Here’s another taste for you to try, Pears and Cheddar cheese. I should post the recipe for my Cheddar Pear Walnut Crisp sometime. That is a keeper. Rich, but yummy!
Galas are my favorite munching apple, but I don’t think I’ve ever cooked with them before….have to give it a try. I usually use Granny Smiths for baking.
Yep, I like pears & cheddar, too.
