Mix eggs, flour, milk and a pinch of salt and whisk until smooth. Leave batter for a few minutes to rest. Peel and finely slice the apples and pour the Cognac over them to marinate for a few minutes. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan until hot, pour in a thin layer of batter and spread out. When the pancake begins to form spread out the apple slices on top then pour & spread another layer of batter on top. Turn the pancake over and cook the other side until both sides golden brown. Turn onto a plate and sprinkle with the sugar. The pancake is traditionally served flat, not folded. Goes well with ice cream or crème fraiche.
