Normandy pancakes with ice cream

ingredients - info 250 g pastry flour 3 eggs ½ l milk vanilla sugar apples butter cinnamon powder

This is a variation on the classic Norman pancakes where the apple slices are baked into the cake. This is a technique that takes some practice. The advantage of this version is that the baking cannot fail, because you bake the apple slices separately. And with small pancakes, you can perfectly cater to the needs of your guests. After a full menu, with almost a full stomach, they probably won't see a heavy dessert.

Fry the pancakes in an egg pan so that they have a maximum diameter of about ten centimetres. If you do not have this, use a large ring to cut circles out of ordinary pancakes. Cut out slices of an apple and fry them in a pan with fizzy butter. Dust with vanilla sugar and cinnamon powder. Turn off the cooker, heat a saucepan with calvados and ignite it. Carefully pour the pan over the apple slices and let it burn.

Make a chocolate sauce by melting a few bars of dark chocolate with the addition of a few splashes of full cream and a few tablespoons of calvados. On the dessert plate: a mirror of chocolate sauce topped with two pancakes and an apple slice. Finish with a scoop of ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkles and icing sugar.
