Apple Latkes
These sweet latkes make a great breakfast treat – at Hanukkah or any other time. Just don’t let the Lunchkins know that you’re using apples in place of potatoes!
Ingredients
3 medium sized apples (golden delicious work well), peeled
1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, but will stop your apple from turning brown)
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/3 cup of sugar
pinch of salt
2 eggs
1½ cups of milk
1 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)
Lots of vegetable oil for frying
1.Grate the apple and toss it in lemon juice.
2.Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt together.
3.In a separate bowl, beat the eggs well, then mix in the milk.
4.Add the grated apple and the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and combine.
5.Heat a layer of vegetable oil in a large frying pan (the oil is hot enough when a drop of batter sizzles in the pan). Gently drop heaped tablespoons of batter into the hot oil and flatten with the back of a spoon. Fry for about 2 minutes on each side, or until deliciously golden and crispy.
6.Remove the cooked latkes from the pan and drain on paper towels. Same rule applies here as to potato latkes…there’s nothing worse than a greasy latke!
7.Sprinkle your warm latkes with a bit of icing sugar, serve them with sour cream…or just eat them plain.
8.ENJOY!!!!
