Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for dusting)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
Other
- 1 cup diced apples (about 1 medium apple, peeled and diced)
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all required ingredients including flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon, milk, egg, melted butter, diced apples, and maple syrup.
- Prepare Apples: Wash, peel, and dice the apple into small pieces to be added into the batter for a fresh and natural sweetness.
- Make Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, then gently fold in the diced apples ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Cook Pancakes: Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour portions of the batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes more.
- Serve: Plate the cooked pancakes, dust with additional ground cinnamon, and drizzle generously with maple syrup. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting breakfast treat.
Notes
- For best results, do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- You can substitute diced apples with other fruits like pears or blueberries based on preference.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking.
- If desired, add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- The recipe serves 4, adjusting quantities accordingly will change the yield.
