Ingredients
- 1 lb tart, firm apples such as Granny Smiths (2 large or 3 medium)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- butter for frying
- yogurt, sour cream or crème fraîche for serving
Instructions
- Grate the apples, either on the large holes of a box grater or in a food processor, on the shredding blade.
- Transfer to a clean dishtowel or cheesecloth sling and wring out as much juice as you can into a small bowl. Save juice
- Transfer grated apple to a medium bowl and toss with lemon juice.
- In a small dish, whisk flour, sugar, cinnamon and baking powder and toss with the apples, coating them evenly.
- Whisk eggs in this small dish until lightly beaten and stir into apple-lemon-flour mixture.
- Heat a large skillet to medium with one tablespoon butter. Once it has coated the pan, drop tablespoons full of apple batter in little piles, gently pressing them a bit flatter with a spatula.
- Fry until they are nicely brown underneath, about 3 to 5 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until they are browned and crisp. Drain briefly on paper towels.
