How to Make Apple Pancakes
- Mix dry ingredients. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well.
- Add wet ingredients. Pour in milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
- Add apple. Stir in the grated apple. The batter should be slightly thick.
- Heat the pan. Warm a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease it lightly.
- Cook pancakes. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on top, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm. Stack them high, drizzle with maple syrup, and maybe sneak a taste before serving.
Tips for Success
- Use a sweet apple like Fuji or Gala for the best flavor.
- Don’t overmix the batter. It should stay a little lumpy for fluffier pancakes.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven at low heat while you finish the rest.
