Ingredients
To make these juicy apple pancakes, you’ll need the following simple ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized apples (grated)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (125g) plain yogurt or sour cream
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
Peel and grate the apples into a bowl.
Add eggs, yogurt (or sour cream), sugar, and vanilla extract to the grated apples. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the apple mixture, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to grease the pan.
Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the hot pan, spreading slightly to form a circle.
Cook for about 1–2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: Serve and Garnish
Remove the pancakes from the pan and transfer them to a plate.
Dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finish, or drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your juicy apple pancakes!
Tips for Perfect Apple Pancakes
Grate the Apples Fresh: Freshly grated apples retain their natural juices, adding extra moisture and flavor to the pancakes.
Use a Non-Stick Pan: This ensures the pancakes cook evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
Adjust Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your apples, you can increase or decrease the sugar in the batter.
Customize: Add raisins, nuts, or a touch of nutmeg for extra texture and flavor.
