Equipment

  • 1 blender

Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs
  • 3/4 cup kefir or milk
  • 1.5 cups Einkorn all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 chopped apple
  • 8 oz butter
  • syrup to taste

Instructions
 

  • One of the keys to making this puff pancake is to use a blender. I have tried several times without a blender and just can't achieve the same desired rise/puff.
    I have also found that it helps to put your eggs into the blender first when adding the ingredients. After adding the eggs, but before blending, add the flour and last the milk and vanilla. Then, blend all the ingredients together until the flour is well incorporated. Sometimes, halfway through blending, I take a rubber spatula and scrape down the sides so no chucks of flour get left unmixed, then continue blending. I have been using a nutribullet for about 10 years, and it works great for blending this pancake batter.
  • Start by preheating your oven to 400F. Place the stick of butter in cast iron and put in your oven as the oven is preheating to melt your butter.
    Chop the apple and add 3/4 of the apple to the melting butter in the skillet in the oven. Reserve some of the chopped apple for the syrup topping.
  • Give the apples and butter a stir once or twice while the butter is melting and apples are softening. Once the apples are softened, the butter is melted, and the oven is fully preheated, add the batter to the hot skillet.
    If you have doubled this recipe. Be sure to evenly distribute your batter amongst the two butter and apple filled cast iron skillets.
  • Place in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the pancake has puffed up and the top is golden brown.
  • While your Einkorn puff pancake is baking, you can start warming your syrup in a small pot. Add the desired amount of syrup to top your pancake, the remaining amount of chopped apple, and a splash of vanilla to the pot. Warm over medium heat.
    When your pancake is done, slice, serve, and top with warm and delicious apple vanilla syrup. Enjoy!
