Instructions

1. 1

   Preparation

   • Peel, core and slice the apples into rings about finger-thick (7–8 mm).
   • Lay out four slices of toast to absorb excess fat from the finished apple slices.
   • Mix baking powder, flour and salt briefly.
2. 2

   Make the batter

   • Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
   • Beat eggs with the milk, add sugar, then whisk into the flour mixture.
   • Mix to a smooth, slightly runny batter (like pancake batter). Let rest 1–2 minutes if possible.
3. 3

   Fry / bake

   • Warm the butter in a large pan over medium heat until it foams (or use lard and a hotter pan).
   • Dip 4–6 apple slices in the batter, letting excess drip off, and place in the pan.
   • Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Do not overcrowd to avoid excess fat absorption.
   • Place on the prepared toast slices, let drain briefly and sprinkle with sugar. Serve warm.
