Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium apple
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- for serving maple syrup
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, lightly beat the egg and then mix it with the milk and vanilla extract.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apple. Toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the melted butter and apple slices.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup.
