This recipe is fast and delicious. Plus, it's a great way to use those fresh apples you and your little ones picked.
Ingredients:
1 cup shredded tart Apple
1 cup Milk
¼ cup Butter melted
1 large Egg
1 ¼ cups all-purpose Flour
1 tablespoon white Sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons Baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground Cinnamon
Directions:
Combine apple, milk, butter, and egg in a large bowl. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the apple mixture until just combined.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Drop batter by 1/4 cup spoonfuls onto the hot griddle and cook until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
At nine years old, Ben Gaffney asked if he could work alongside his father, a chef, at Congress Rotisserie in New Haven. The elder Gaffney put the boy to work washing dishes for two years, in the hope that it would discourage his interest in the restaurant business.
But a calling is a calling. Ben Gaffney has spent his life since then pursuing the wonders of food, bringing Middlefield along for the ride as chef at Lyman Orchards since 2017.
