We all really liked these! I used buttermilk, and ended up adding quite a bit more than the 1 cup it calls for. Be prepared to add an extra 1 1/2 cups to the batter to get it to the right consistency. I used 2 1/2 cups total, and that seemed to be just right. -
This recipe needs some tweaking. The batter comes out thicker than it should, especially with all the apples, bacon and cheddar in it. I had to add about a 1/2 cup of milk. If i were to make them again I'd probably go with a pancake mix to avoid the consistency issues and make the finished product a little lighter. Also Granny Smith's were a little tart for our liking, maybe a Macintosh next time. Overall it's a good idea that just needs some finishing touches. -
I made these for breakfast this morning - I knew I would enjoy them because I have been on an apple and cheddar kick lately. I think next time I might add a little more cheese. I tried them first with just butter on them (good but not quite sweet enough), with some honey (better) and with maple syrup (best). So I would suggest going with the recipe and serving with the syrup. These were simple to make and a nice treat for breakfast! -
I was a little unsure about how good this recipe would taste - the combination of bacon and apple seemed a little strange to me. I had agreed that my daughter could pick a recipe to try over the weekend and she chose this one. It was a huge hit with everyone - especially the kids. I served them plain with melted butter as we had no maple syrup, but next time I'll try them with the syrup. Thanks, Evelyn!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
