He is a legend in Chicago-

and especially the north shore

suburbs of Wilmette,

Evanston and Skokie - my old

stomping grounds. For many years

he owned and operated the

great Sarkis Cafe (actually a diner)

serving up the most amazing

omelettes - and "disasters," their

little special sausage patties-

and the best hashed browns

ever.

 

His diner persists - and I hear

it's still great - though he, who

used to kiss all the ladies who

entered, is retired. I started going

to his place around 1974 or so

when i was in high school, and

turned on my dad and brother

and many others to it.

 

Then I moved away to the

east coast and the west but

would go there whenever I was

back in town, and would be greeted

like family.

 

So just in town, visiting my

official fam, I was talking to my

brother, and we wondered where

Sarkis was - perhaps in the

Bahamas, sunning himself?

 

Then we went to the other

greatest breakfast spot in the

world - Walker Brothers -

in Wilmette (where you can get

the best pancakes ever - the

49ers are my fave, and the

apple pancake is bliss) -

and who should walk up to

our table but Sarkis himself!

A little grayer, sure, but with

the same smiling eyes.

 

And he eats at Walker Brothers-

what a recommendation. And

I, of course, had my camera

always with me, at the ready.

 

If you are ever in the

Chicago area - check out

Apple Pancakes on smittenkitchen.com

I made these delicious spiced pancakes with apple syrup, butter and topped with whipped cream. Served with a side of crispy bacon.

My Mom ordered the Apple Pancake from Ricky's in Mission Valley (Hotel Circle South).

 

I got the recipe from Epicurious

 

This breakfast treat rises like Yorkshire pudding and has the texture of a classic baked pancake. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the pancake after it's baked, if you like.

 

Servings: Makes 4 servings.

 

Ingredients

 

1 cup whole milk

4 large eggs

3 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2/3 cup all purpose flour

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

12 ounces Golden Delicious apples (about 2), peeled, cored, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar

Powdered sugar (optional)

 

Preparation

 

Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in large bowl until well blended. Add flour and whisk until batter is smooth. Place butter in 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Place dish in oven until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Remove dish from oven. Place apple slices in overlapping rows atop melted butter in baking dish. Return to oven and bake until apples begin to soften slightly and butter is bubbling and beginning to brown around edges of dish, about 10 minutes.

 

Pour batter over apples in dish and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake pancake until puffed and brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm.

Apple Pancakes, Light Syrup, Turkey Sausage

Apple Pancakes, Light Syrup, Soy Sausage

I love the slightly more coarse pieces I get when I use the food processor.

I think that Golden Delicious can be great for cooking because they're less watery than most apples, but boy, do they get banged up easily. Softies!

Here's my husband, Ian, standing in front of one of the best pancake houses I've ever been to: The Original Pancake House in Winnipeg, Canada. We were visiting his family in his hometown.

 

Right before this shot, we'd just eaten two gloriously delicious plates of apple cinnamon pancakes with cinnamon glaze.

 

I loved ice skating on the duck pond in Assinaboine (did I mangle that name?) Park. I loved the polite people. I loved the Pancake House. I love Winnipeg!

Ingredients: 4 eggs, 2 apples, 2 spoon sugar, little salt, a teaspon cinnamon, flour, and around 600ml milk

-- with a cinamon-sugar mixture.

 

The basic recipe:

 

Beat one egg, add as much flour to get a thick, heavy dough.

Then stir in sparkling mineral water until your dough is thin and liquid again.

 

Add the fruit that you like, e.g. apples (cut into small pieces), blue berries etc. and some sugar to taste.

 

Heat a pan, add some oil or butter oil and spoon the dough into it. Bake for some minutes from both sides.

 

You can also make savoury pancakes. Instead of sugar take some salt then and add for example sliced mushrooms, ham, saussage, or whatever you like.

Apfelpfannkuchen

 

Das Grundrezept:

 

Ein Ei verquirlen und so viel Mehl zugeben, bis ein fester Teig entsteht, der kein Mehl mehr aufnimmt. Sprudelwasser einrühren, bis daß der Teig wieder flüssig ist.

 

Obst nach Wunsch zufügen, z.B. Apfelstückchen, Blaubeeren etc. und mit Zucker nach Wunsch abschmecken.

 

Eine Pfanne erhitzen, Öl oder Butterschmalz zufügen und den Teig hineinlöffeln. Von beiden Seiten so lange backen bis die gewünschte Bräune entsteht.

 

Man kann die Pfannkuchen auch herzhaft zubereiten. Statt Zucker Salz und andere Gewürze/Kräuter nehmen und z.B. in Scheiben geschnittene Champignons, Schinken oder Wurst zufügen, was immer schmeckt.

So word on the street has it that this place makes one of the best pancakes in town. When we came here, sure enough there was a hefty lineup out the door and on to the sidewalk.

 

While the line moved swiftly, it was our group of 4 that gave us the go-ahead past others in the line.

 

This signature dish, the Apple Pancake, is a behomoth when it comes out the kitchen, with everybody in the restaurant wondering which table it will go to.

 

We were a little taken aback when it first arrived, but as soon as we put our forks in it, we all forgot how big it was.

 

In fact, it actually deflated a little as we punctured it with our forks. Not overly sweet, it had just the right amount of sugary sweetness and cinnamonness.

 

It's moist, not too dense, and flavourful. A treat for the senses, especially so early in the morning.

 

If you get a chance to go to this chain, The Original Pancake House, which was founded in Portland in 1953, go give yourself a treat and have an apple pancake!
