Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 medium tart-sweet apple (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and diced small

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour into dry ingredients and stir just until combined, a few lumps are fine.
  3. Gently fold in the diced apple with about 4 or 5 strokes.
  4. Heat a buttered nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drop ¼-cup scoops of batter and cook 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
  5. Stack and serve immediately with butter and warm maple syrup.

Notes

If the apples are very juicy, pat them dry with a paper towel before folding them in to keep the batter from thinning. This recipe makes about 8 medium pancakes, enough for 4 people with a couple of extra for seconds.
