Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup fairlife 2% ultra-filtered milk
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 3 teaspoons sugar, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, divided (optional)
- 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
- Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC) with the rack in the middle position.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are light and frothy.
- Add the fairlife ultra-filtered milk, flour, a pinch of kosher salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon of cardamom (if using) to the eggs. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apple, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/8 teaspoon of cardamom (if using), and the cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the batter over the apples in the skillet. Immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pancake cool slightly. It will deflate as it cools.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
Use fairlife ultra-filtered milk for a higher protein content and to accommodate lactose intolerance. The pancake is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven. Serve with hot chocolate for a cozy winter breakfast. Consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein.
