Apple and cinnamon pancakes

Apple and cinnamon pancakes are a delicious and seasonal twist on the classic breakfast favorite. This recipe combines the warmth of cinnamon and the sweetness of apples to create fluffy, flavorful pancakes that are perfect for a cozy morning meal or brunch. Follow these simple steps to whip up a batch that will surely delight your taste buds.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well blended.
2. Sift and Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, baking soda, and sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the baking soda.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
4. Add Melted Butter and Cinnamon:
- Pour the melted butter into the batter and add the cinnamon. Stir until the butter and cinnamon are fully incorporated.
5. Add Apple:
- Fold the finely chopped or grated apple into the batter. Ensure the apple pieces are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
6. Preheat Pan:
- Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil if necessary.
7. Cook Pancakes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar on the uncooked side before flipping (optional for added sweetness).
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Serve:
- Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and continue the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the apple and cinnamon pancakes warm, with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, fresh fruits, or extra cinnamon sugar.

Tips:

- Make sure your milk and egg are at room temperature before mixing; this helps to make the batter smoother.

- Grate the apple finely so that it integrates well into the batter, ensuring every bite has a hint of apple flavor.

- If you don’t have self-raising flour, you can use all-purpose flour mixed with 3 teaspoons of baking powder.

- Preheat your pan over medium heat and make sure it’s well-greased to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

- For an extra fluffy texture, avoid over-mixing the batter. Combine the ingredients just until they are incorporated.

- To keep the pancakes warm before serving, place them on a baking sheet in an oven preheated at 200°F (93°C).

Apple and cinnamon pancakes are a delightful treat that brings comfort and warmth to your breakfast table. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a stack of pancakes that are both soft and flavorful. Remember to top them with some additional apple slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra special touch. Enjoy them with your favorite morning beverage for a truly satisfying start to your day.
