This past weekend was our first reenactment event of the season. Since it was a living history and there was very little scheduled, I knew I would have time to experiment with a new recipe. Now, I must confess that I am one of those people who does try new recipes on company. I know you should try it out first, but I seldom do. Perhaps I reason I'll have less leftovers that way. In this case, I felt somewhat confident of success because the recipe was already adapted and tried by others. I also brought extra food "just in case." The apple pancake recipe I tried came via the blog "Four Pounds Flour" http://www.fourpoundsflour.com/ In a chain of adaptations,the recipe was adapted from Old Sturbridge Village's Old Sturbridge Village Cookbook, 3rd ed , which adapted the recipe from The New England Economical Housekeeper of 1845. I made a couple of small changes myself. Still following me? Here's the original recipe from 1845 Apple Pancake
