Are you paying attention?

Can you spot the mistake in the picture? There are three ingredients that are either wrong or are not supposed to be there. I’m glad my nose was working before I added the one to the mix.



APPLE PANCAKE

2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, quartered, cored, sliced in 24 wedge slices
1 tbsp margarine
3/8 cup milk
2 eggs
6 tbsp pancake flour mix
1 tsp melted margarine
1 1/2 tbsp margarine
1 tbsp chunk of margarine

Turn oven to 425 F and preheat. Combine sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and set aside. Prepare apple slices. Place a 10 inch cast iron skillet in the oven for 7 minutes. In the meantime, sauté the apple slices in 1 tbsp margarine in a second skillet at medium low heat for 5 minutes or until fork tender.
Mix eggs and milk well. Add pancake flour and stir until smooth. Stir in 1 tsp melted margarine.
Remove hot cast iron skillet from oven and add 1 ½ tbsp margarine to melt. Spread the apple slices and pour the pancake batter over the apple slices.
Place the skillet in the 425 F oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 F and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the pancake is light brown.
Remove skillet from oven and turn on broiler. Paint the pancake with the chunk of margarine on a fork to melt and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Place under the broiler for about 30 seconds or until it is bubbly on top. Serve with bacon and syrup or confectioners sugar. Serves 2 (or 4 as a side dish).
