Foxton has a strong Dutch heritage, so when I visited yesterday I ordered Pannenkoeken at the De Molen Cafe. I thought the apple would be cooked inside the pancake rather than lying on top.

The cinnamon sugar was a bit strong, but overall the pancake was delicious.

Dutch pancake with cubes of spiced apple on top and a small bowl of syrup. Pannenkoepen menu item says the apple will be cooked into the pancake.

@Miraz looks incredible! The description is confusing but I can see how “cooked into” is different from filled. I think I would have predicted the same as you though!

@Miraz Looks authentic 🙂. Love the “Let’s build a windmill…..” section on their website!

The funny thing is that it's not actually a heritage, like Dannevirke and Norsewood or Dunedin or Waipu. A homesick Dutchman built a windmill, then the cafe followed and the museum got in on the act, then the town started celebrating Queen's day. It's all authentic enough, but quite recent.
