Experience a delightful morning treat with our Fluffy Pancakes with Caramelised Apples. This recipe not only brings a heart-healthy twist to traditional pancakes by incorporating wholemeal flour, but it also elevates the flavors with the warm and comforting taste of spiced caramelised apples. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch, these pancakes are sure to become a household favorite.
Instructions:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Add the diced apples and lemon juice; stir to coat the apples evenly with the spiced mixture.
- Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the sugar mixture has thickened to a caramel-like consistency, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and canola oil until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Preheat a non-stick griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 1-2 minutes.
- Stack the pancakes on a serving plate and top with the spiced caramelized apples. Optionally, drizzle with more maple syrup or add a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- When cooking the apples, make sure to stir them frequently to avoid burning the sugar and spices.
- Let the pancake batter sit for a few minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder and soda to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-greased griddle to ensure easy flipping of the pancakes.
- Keep the pancakes warm in a preheated oven at low temperature (around 200°F / 93°C) while you finish cooking the rest of the batch.
- Top your pancakes with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
