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, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to distribute all ingredients evenly.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Fold in Apples and Cinnamon: Gently fold the chopped apples and cinnamon into the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until both sides are golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the cinnamon quantity based on your preference for spice.
- For extra flavor, top pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
- If the batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach desired consistency.
- Ensure the skillet is properly heated before cooking to achieve a golden crust.
