Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

 

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

2 tbsp. light brown sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

a pinch of salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 an apple, peeled and grated

1 cup milk

1 egg

1 tbsp. honey

1 tsp. vanilla

 

 

1. In a medium bowl mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

 

2. In a measuring jug or small bowl, beat egg into milk, add honey and vanilla and beat until honey is all dissolved.

 

3. Pour egg mixture into the flour mixture, mix a little bit but while big lumps of flour remain, add grated apple and mix until barely combined.

 

4. Heat up a pan or griddle, add a little vegetable oil, and then drop 1/4 cups of pancake batter onto the pan. When bubbles appear on the surface, flip pancakes and cook for another minute before removing from pan.

 

5. Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.

 

 

 

Makes 8 small pancakes.

 

 

Note: Add more cinnamon if you like your pancakes with a stronger cinnamon flavor. I am my mother's child so there was just enough cinnamon for me.  What I may do the next time is add a tab bit more grated apple to the batter, and make an apple topping out of another chopped apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and a dash of orange juice and cook that until it is soft and gooey.
