- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup oil (you’ll use the oil just a few tablespoons at a time)
What you'll need to make this recipe:
* Vegetable peeler
* Big plate
* Paper towels
* Shredder

* Big spoon
* Small bowl
* Fork or a whisk
* Big non-stick skillet
* ¼ cup measure
* Pancake turner
* Tablespoon measuring spoon
* Heatproof platter

Directions
This is a recipe for a team: you and an adult – because there’s some shredding and frying involved. To skip the shredding, just buy some frozen or refrigerated hash brown potatoes – you’ll need about 4 cups. (You will still need to core and shred the apple.) The apple in with the potato makes these crispy pancakes just a little sweet. Top pancakes with applesauce and/or sour cream. The pancakes will take about 30 minutes.
