Ingredients:
To create these scrumptious apple pancakes, gather the following ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
– Maple syrup and additional apple slices for serving
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense pancakes.
4. Gently fold in the chopped apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
6. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the pancake batter onto the skillet, spacing them a few inches apart. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes.
7. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
9. Serve the apple pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup and garnish with additional apple slices for a delightful presentation.
