Ingredients
•
3 Earl Grey tea bags, divided
•
1/2 cup milk
•
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
•
3 eggs
•
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 pinch salt
•
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
•
1 apple - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
•
4 tablespoons packed brown sugar
•
1 pinch ground nutmeg
•
1 pinch cinnamon
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Place 2 tea bags in a bowl and pour hot milk on top. Steep for 5 minutes.
3
Carefully squeeze tea bags to release as much liquid as possible; discard tea bags. Let milk cool completely.
4
While tea is steeping in the milk, remove tea leaves from remaining tea bag. Grind into a powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Combine 1/2 the ground tea with confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Reserve remaining ground tea.
5
Whisk eggs, flour, tea-infused milk, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl until smooth. Pour batter through a mesh sieve to remove any remaining lumps.
6
Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Immediately add apple slices, brown sugar, reserved ground tea, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Cook and stir until apples are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour batter on top and transfer the pan to the preheated oven.
7
Bake until pancake is set, puffed, and golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
8
Shake skillet to loosen pancake and transfer to a serving plate. Dust with Earl Grey-sugar mixture.
