Thursday Recipe - Fried Apples, Coconut Pancakes, and Sausage Breakfast

The only real recipe here is the coconut pancakes. This is what I wanted for breakfast so I made it. I didn't get a picture, though, so you'll just have to imagine it for yourself. I ate it too fast. It was that good.

Fried Apples and Coconut Pancakes

1 T. butter

1 apple, cored and sliced very thin

2-3 sausage patties

1 egg

1/2 c. coconut milk (the drinking kind)

2 T. shredded coconut

2 T. brown sugar

1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

1/2 c. whole wheat flour

Melt butter over medium low heat in a large frying pan. Add apples and sausage patties. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until apples start to brown and sausages are cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

While apples and sausages are cooking, mix together the egg, coconut milk, coconut, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until smooth. Stir in the flour just until mixed.

In the same frying pan you cooked the apples and sausages in, scoop out the pancake batter into 3-4 pancakes. Cook 2-3 minutes, then flip gently. Cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until the pancake is done all the way through.

Place a pancake on a plate, top with apple slices. Serve with sausage on the side and plenty of syrup or honey over the top.

Makes 1-3 servings, depending on how hungry you are and how generous you are feeling.
