Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 apple, peeled and grated

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon until well combined to ensure the spices and leavening agents are evenly distributed.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the milk along with the melted butter. Whisk gently until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Add Apple and Combine: Stir the grated peeled apple into the wet ingredients, then gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter with no large lumps.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the top and the edges start to look set, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, butter, or your preferred toppings for a festive and delicious breakfast.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavor.
  • Ensure the melted butter is cooled slightly before adding to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Adjust milk quantity slightly if the batter feels too thick or thin.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated in a toaster for convenience.
