Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, large egg, and melted butter, whisking thoroughly to create a smooth mixture.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Add Apples and Cinnamon: Fold in the chopped apples and cinnamon evenly through the batter, ensuring every bite captures the apple pie flavor.
- Preheat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up, preparing it for cooking the pancakes.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour portions of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula, cooking the other side until golden brown and cooked through, approximately another 2 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp apples for the best texture and flavor.
- For extra richness, substitute milk with buttermilk.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for more spice depth if desired.
- Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra cinnamon sugar for added indulgence.
- Ensure the skillet is hot enough before pouring batter to prevent sticking.
