- At the moment there are lots of Bramley apples from the garden.
- I often make pancakes – French style crepes and fill them with cooked apples.
- I also make a slightly thicker type with chopped apples, a recipe from my mum’s sister, sort of apple fritters – racuszki -….. I posted this over 4 years ago.
- I came across this recipe for – placki, which are more like an American pancake.
- I think they would have been made originally with soured milk.
- I have been told you can use kefir instead of yoghurt.
- I weighed out the flour for this recipe but am sure if you make these often you will be able to judge the amount without getting out the scales.
