During the Ramadhan month ,the Muslims will observe their 30 days fasting and whereby our cafeteria will be closed during this time. So this Momsie will have to pack her own breakfast and lunch :p I have been taking oats for breakfast daily and is looking forward to something different , and this morning I woke up at 5.30am just to prepare this delicious and healthy apple pancakes for my breakfast. Food is more important than sleep now or I have to fast with my muslim colleagues :p

Appel Pannenkoek / Pannekoek - taken from Almost Bourdain
(Dutch Apple Pancakes with Caramelized Sugar)

Ingredients:

1 cup (200g) flour
½ tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
2 eggs

2 apples(Granny Smith)
lemon juice
caster sugar
cinnamon sugar
butter

Method:

Peel and core the apples and slice them thinly. Turn them in lemon juice so they retain their color.

Combine the flour with the baking powder and salt, and add enough cold water to make a thick batter. Stir in the eggs.

Heat a little butter in a non-stick pan and spoon in the batter.

Immediately arrange the apple slices like tiles on top of the pancake. Sprinkle with sugar and cook until the pancake is brown.

Using a dinner plate or pot lid, carefully turn the pancake over so that the apples cook and the sugar caramelizes.

Turn once again, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and serve hot.
