Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup diced apples (about 1 medium apple, washed, peeled, and diced)
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. Collect all the listed ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Prepare the apple mixture. Wash, peel, and dice the apple into small pieces to incorporate into the batter.
- Make the pancake batter. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and melted butter. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture until just blended, then gently fold in the diced apples.
- Cook the pancakes. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm. Remove pancakes from the skillet and stack on plates. Drizzle generously with maple syrup and enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter; some lumps are okay.
- You can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
- Adjust the cinnamon according to your taste preference.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easier cooking and flipping.
- Serve with additional toppings like nuts or fresh fruit if desired.
