as my number of Instagram followers rose quite fast in the last days, I felt like making something special to celebrate it and say tank you. I wanted to make something special, something that I didn't write about already. I have written about various kinds of cake, about cookies and waffles and about healthy breakfasts and smoothies. But something was still missing. Pancakes!!
Everybody loves pancakes right? I haven't made some in a really long time and I mean, there is nothing better on a sunday morning after a long weekend sleep right? So the decision was: I'm making pancakes. But no regular, boring pancakes. I wanted something different, something a bit more celebratory. On special occasions, my mum used to make large pancakes with apple slices inside and I used to eat so much that I could barely walk any more. So, why not try to make some fancy apple pancakes myself and top them off with some melting butter and maple sirup? Now that's celebratory!
I find baking and cooking very relaxing and it is almost therapy for me. There's nothing better after a stressful week than preparing something delicious in the kitchen and letting your imagination flow. I love it so much to think about recipes that I want to try and things that I want to make. Creating own dishes has something magical. It is like my own world inside my head. A little space where only I can decide how to make something and where there is no stress, no limits...There's no creation that would be too crazy...Everything is possible.
So come on in, hop on the cloud of fluffy pancake goodness and warme apples, dunked in butter and maple sirup. Set yourself free and enjoy that little moment of joy.
Ingredients:
250g all purpose flour
3 eggs (separated)
4 tbs natural yoghurt
4 tbs sugar
3 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
some cinnamon
2 apples (sliced)
Preparation:
In a large bowl, mix the egg yolks, yoghurt, sugar, cinnamon and milk together. Then, add flour and baking powder. Now, with a clean hand mixer, beat the egg whites and salt until it becomes really white and stiff. After that, fold the egg white in the batter mixture until it is all incorporated.
Let that sit for about 5-10 minutes. During that time, cut the apples in slices and remove the seeds in the middle. Then, take a large pan, put a good slice of butter in it and heat it up to medium heat. Now, you are ready to bake the pancakes until they are golden brown and delicious. (Put the apple slice in the middle of the pancake, before you turn it the first time)
Pile them all on a plate and at the end, drizzle a lot of strong flavored maple sirup and a piece of butter on top.
Enjoy :)
