Birthday Breakfast

My son-in-law requested a birthday breakfast rather than a birthday dinner this year. So, I broke out my 1968 Better Homes and Garden Cookbook
and whipped up some of the tastiest apple pancakes he'd ever had. I also made crispy bacon, sausage links, scrambled eggs and home fries for the occasion. He was pleased!


Apple Pancakes

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 tbl sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 well-beaten egg yolks
2 cup milk (I used 2 c hemp milk plus 1/4 c water)2 tbl melted butter
1 cup finely chopped apple
2 stiffly beaten egg whites
(I added 1 tsp. cinnamon)

Sift together dry ingredients. Combine egg yolks and milk. Pour into dry ingredients; stir well. Stir in butter and apple. Fold in egg whites. Let batter stand a few minutes. Bake on hot griddle using 1/3 cup batter for each.



Happy Birthday, Jay!
