Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield about 16 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving
1 small red-skinned apple, cored
For serving: maple syrup or honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk the milk, sugar, vanilla and eggs together in a large bowl until the sugar dissolves. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Let cool slightly, then whisk the butter into the egg mixture; reserve the skillet for cooking the pancakes. Whisk the flour mixture into the milk mixture until combined with a few lumps. Grate the apple on the large holes of a box grater and stir into the batter.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Drop 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the hot skillet. Cook until the surface of the batter forms bubbles and the edges are set, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and continue to cook until puffed in the center, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a baking sheet and put in the oven to keep warm while making the rest of the pancakes. Cook the remaining batter, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter as needed.
  • Serve the pancakes with butter and maple syrup or honey.

My daughter and daughter-in-law got me hooked on quinoa. I dressed up a regular pancake recipe to create these delicious apple-cinnamon breakfast treats. The shredded apple remains slightly crunchy with the short cooking time, and it nicely complements the chewy texture of the quinoa. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

  • Grate the apples: Grating the apples will help them to cook more evenly.
