Puffed Apple Pancake *

puffy-apple-pancake

This is a wonderful breakfast treat.  I didn’t have enough Golden Del. apples on hand, even though I planned well, so I used 3T. butter instead of 4.  It turned out flavored like apple pie, mixed with an omelet, and a pancake.  It was awesome.  I suggest eating it on day 1 though, that’s when the flavor and rise was the best.  Within 30 minutes it falls to a thin height and won’t be as attractive.
