These pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic apple pancakes, featuring a hint of cinnamon and a fluffy texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients together ensures a smoother batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and sugar.
Make sure the butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the egg.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
Fold in the grated apple gently.
Grate the apple just before adding to prevent browning.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Use a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Keep the heat consistent to ensure even cooking.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added flavor.
