Recipe - Panqueques De Manzanas (Apple Pancakes)

Three fourths cup Flour
One half teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking powder
2 tablespoon Powdered sugar
2 Whole eggs
2/3 cup Milk
1/3 cup Water
One half teaspoon Grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon Vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon Butter
1 lg Apple; peel core thin slice
One half cup Granulated sugar;
approximately
2 teaspoon Rum; optional

Sift the flour with the powdered sugar, salt and baking powder. Beat the
eggs, add the milk, water and lemon rind. Combine the egg mixture with the
dry ingredients. Mix quickly and not too thoroughly. Heat an iron frying
pan over moderate heat and melt the lard (or shortening) and butter.
Sprinkle approximately One fourth of the sugar in the bottom of the pan and pour
in half the batter. Then add half the apple slices. Turn the pancake when
browned on the bottom, sprinkling the top with approximately 1/3 the
remaining sugar before turning, and cook until brown on the bottom. Repeat
procedure with the second half of the batter. Sprinkle with a few drops of
the rum for added flavor. Serves 4.

NOTES : This was a favorite afterschool treat when "yours truly" was just
a little fryer, and remains one of the best recipes of its kind that I have
ever tasted. Serve it as a dessert or as a breakfast dish.
