APPLE BACON DUTCH PANCAKE

Steps:

• Step 1 In a liquid measure or a medium bowl, add the flour, salt and sugar. Mix well with a fork. In a separate cup, add the milk and egg and beat well. Add the wet to the dry, stir to incorporate it all, and set aside for 30 minutes. Step 2 Meanwhile, make the fillings: In a small, nonstick sauté pan (the same one that you'll use for the pancakes), melt the butter and add the apples. Cook until the apples are soft and slightly brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside. Step 3 In the same pan, add the strips of bacon, and cook until crispy. Drain the fat and set aside to drain on a paper towel. Step 4 Preheat the oven to 200F. Step 5 Once the fillings are made and the batter has set, make the pancakes. Step 6 Coat the pan with melted butter, a bit of oil or cooking spray over medium heat (this is important- we're cooking lower and slower so they don't burn). Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Add the fillings in a thin layer, and drizzle about another 3 TB of batter over the fillings. Once the top starts to set a little and the bottom layer is brown, carefully give it a flip. Cook another 2 minutes on the second side to let the batter set. Step 7 Place in a single layer in a baking rack, and let stay warm in the oven until all the pancakes are made.
