• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• Vegetable oil
• Confectioner's sugar

1. Beat 2 eggs well in a large mixing bowl. Mix the eggs with 1 1/2 cups of milk.

2. Mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, half a cup of sugar and a dash of salt in a separate bowl. Add these ingredients to the eggs and milk in the large mixing bowl.

3. Peel and grate 3 medium apples into large, course pieces. Add these to the mixture.
