Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour, buckwheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients well.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you have a smooth batter.
- Fold in the grated apple gently into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan or griddle with cooking spray oil.
- Heat the pan over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
- For each pikelet, pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot pan. You can cook several pikelets at a time, leaving enough space between them to spread.
- Cook the pikelets for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Then, flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked pikelets and place them on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the buckwheat apple and cinnamon pikelets warm. They go great with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips:
- To enhance the apple flavor, consider using a variety of apple that is naturally sweet and crisp, such as Fuji or Honeycrisp.
- For lighter and fluffier pikelets, separate the egg yolks from the whites and beat the whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the batter gently.
- To prevent the pikelets from sticking to the pan, ensure the cooking surface is well-oiled and at the right temperature before adding the batter.
- Serve the pikelets warm with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added richness and flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter treat, you can add a bit more brown sugar to the batter or sprinkle some on top of the pikelets before serving.
Buckwheat apple and cinnamon pikelets are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients thanks to the buckwheat flour and fresh apple. They offer a wholesome and flavorful alternative to regular pancakes. Whether enjoyed warm out of the pan or as a snack later, these pikelets are sure to please everyone at the table.
