How to make apple pancakes?
- Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Once it is hot, grease the pan with butter.Butter or Vegan butter - to cook the pancake
- Add about ¼ cup or laddle full of batter. Once it's cooked on one side for approximately 2 minutes (note: holes will appear on the surface, and the bottom will become lightly browned), flip it and cook on the other side for an additional 2 minutes. If required, apply extra butter.
- Repeat the process for the remaining batter.
- Serve apple pancakes hot with maple syrup, honey, butter, powdered sugar, or a dollop of cream and enjoy.
Notes
- If you do not have apple butter, saute chopped apples in butter with a little sugar till it develops some color and add it to the batter.
- Vary the sweetness as per your taste.
- You may replace all-purpose flour with wheat flour, which will make your pancakes slightly dense.
- I have used a non-stick pan. You can even use a cast-iron skillet.
- You can add up to 4 tablespoon of apple butter for intense apple flavor.
- To save time, you can also add ¼ cup of apple butter and chopped apples to the store-bought pancake mix and make these apple butter pancakes.
