• 4 tsp sugar
• 1 pinch of salt

• e.g. carbonated mineral water

• Sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Beat the egg yolks until frothy, add a teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. Alternately add the flour and milk. Melt the butter and add the melted butter. Mix in a little lemon zest. Add enough mineral water to form a creamy batter. Place the batter and beaten egg whites in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour. In the meantime, prepare the apples. Fill a bowl with a little water and squeeze the lemon into it. Peel and core the apples. Cut the peeled apples into wedges, and the wedges into thin slices. Place the slices in the lemon water to prevent them from browning. Remove the batter and beaten egg whites from the refrigerator. Fold the apple slices into the batter, then carefully fold in the beaten egg whites. Heat a frying pan with a little butter. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and cook the apple pancakes until golden brown on both sides. Sprinkle with sugar, arrange on the plate, and serve.
