Mark's Dutch Plate Pancakes
My Amsterdam recollection of Dutch pancakes - large and thin, served open face with toppings. Little bits of fresh intense fruit, confectionary sugar, syrup make this dish. More filling than you would think.- mrb
Yield 10 pancakes
Ingredients
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
2 drops almond extract
1 2/3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup confectionary sugar
Fruit or maple syrup, sauteed apples, tangerine, or cherry sauce
| 1 | In a mixer, whirl up eggs to thick fluffy foam. Slowly add salt, then milk. Very slowly add in flour. Add almond extract and whirl until smooth. |
|
| 2 | Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in a 12 or 14 inch frying pan over medium heat; swirl to coat. |
|
| 3 | Pour 1 cup batter into pan; tilt pan to spread batter evenly over bottom. |
|
| 4 | Add thinly sliced fruit toppings. |
|
| 5 | Cook pancake until top looks dry and bottom is browned, 2-3 minutes. Loosen pancake with a wide spatula, then carefully flip over and cook until bottom is brown, 1 to 2 minutes longer. |
|
| 6 | Serve 1 large pancake per plate filling side up. Keep warm. Repeat to make remaining pancakes, stirring batter occasionally to keep aerated. |
|
| 7 | Dust with confectionary sugar about 1 teaspoon per plate. |
|
| 8 | Serve with fruit or syrup. |
