Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
INGREDIENTS:
- 3/4 c. milk
- 1 1/2 tbsp. vinegar
- 1 c. flour
- 3 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon (if you’re a fan of cinnamon feel free to
add another 1/2 teaspoon) - 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp. cooking oil
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 2 apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/3 c. maple syrup
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Whisk together the milk and vinegar and let it rest for 5 minutes. Next mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs and cooking oil into the milk and vinegar bowl, then add the two bowls together and stir until just combined (it should still have some lumps). Spray the skillet or griddle with cooking spray. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour batter into the skillet, leaving a couple inches between each pancake. Cook on the first side for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles form and the edges start to look dry. Flip the pancake and cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat until the entire mixture has been cooked. Add apples sauteed in butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until apples are
tender for extra flavor and presentation! Enjoy!
