1 pound 12 ounces (4 to 5 medium) tart cooking apples, such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
Adjust rack to upper middle position and preheat oven to 500°F. Whisk flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt in medium bowl to combine. Whisk in milk, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla until just combined; set batter aside.
Stir remaining 4 tablespoons sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl. Heat butter in 10-inch non-stick oven-safe skillet over medium heat until melted. Increase heat to medium high and add apples and cinnamon-sugar to pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until apples have softened and are beginning to caramelize, 6 to 8 minutes.
Remove from heat, pour batter over apples and immediately place pan in oven. Reduce heat to 425°F and bake until pancake is puffed, just set in center, and golden around the edges, about 15 minutes.
Cool pan on wire rack for 5 minutes, then carefully invert pancake onto serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
On Easter Sunday Dad walked outside to drink his coffee. When he turned around to go back in he saw a duck sitting on a nest. Dad saw an egg underneath her. A couple hours later the duck was not there, so we took the egg and incubated it. A few weeks for now we might have a baby duck.
When we got Kit we immediately liked her! And she liked us! She climbed all over Amelia. Kit likes to come in the house and be held. When we put her down she chirps loudly. She is the best chick we have had!
This morning, after waking up to an Easter Egg hunt, Dad found another egg outside. This one had been laid by the mama duck that walks around our neighborhood. We decided that we would take the egg inside and put it in a makeshift incubator after realizing the mama duck wouldn’t be returning for her egg. We should be able to see if there is any baby inside of the egg in 7-10 days.
