Mamounet's Matefaim

Mamounet's matefaim (my husband's grandmother's recipe), a thick old-fashioned French apple pancake. A rustic family dessert, a treat for young and old alike, for every age to enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • Butter to grease the pan

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together.
  2. Add the flour, salt, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add the apples and stir to combine.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. When hot, grease the pan with butter, (be generous!) Pour the batter into the pan and cook covered until it becomes possible to flip. (It should be fully cooked underneath).
  5. Slide the matefaim onto the lid or a plate, and flip upside down back to the pan. Cook the other side covered until it is completely done.
  6. Transfer the matefaim onto a plate and sprinkle with sugar.
