Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 apple, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup apple glaze
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the diced apple, ensuring that the pieces are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Once all pancakes are cooked, serve them warm, drizzled with apple glaze. You can also add extra diced apples or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for added flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious Apple Glazed Dessert Pancakes!
Tips
- Use fresh, crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - lumpy batter creates fluffier pancakes.
- Let your batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to help the baking powder activate.
- Use a non-stick skillet and keep the heat at medium to prevent burning.
- Test the skillet's temperature by dropping a small amount of water - if it sizzles, it's ready.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) while preparing the rest.
- For extra richness, substitute some milk with buttermilk.
- Experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg in the batter for more depth of flavor.
