Kaiserschmarren - German Apple Puff Pancake

1/2 c flour
5 T sugar
1/2 t salt
1 c milk
5 eggs - separated
1 cup chopped apples
2 T butter
Powdered sugar to top

Sift together dry ingredients (who are we kidding - mix it up in a bowl!). Add milk gradually (I use dry milk to the dry ingredients and add the appropriate amount of water). Add egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition. Add fruit to batter. Beat egg whites till stiff then add and fold in 1/2 at a time to batter. Melt butter in a skillet and dump in batter. Cook batter until firm. Flip and cook other side. Tear up into pieces and serve with powdered sugar.

I always double for our family (2 adults, 3ish kids) and cook in our huge electric skillet. Flipping is impossible so I cut the pancake into 6 pieces after I've cooked the first side and flip each section individually.
