Ingredients

  • 2 Ladles of Appa batter
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Heat the Hopper pan over medium-high heat until it becomes hot. No need to grease the pan if it is an exclusive non-stick Hopper pan.
  • Pour a ladleful of the batter into the center of the pan and tilt the pan to spread the batter thinly. A thin layer of batter should stick to the sides, with a thicker layer in the center.
  • Quickly break an egg into the center of the pan and then cover and cook for about 2 minutes until the egg is just set and the edges of the Appa are starting to brown. (Lower the heat after adding the egg.)
  • Run around the edges with a palette knife and ease it onto a plate.
  • Best served hot. Repeat with the remaining batter and eggs.
