Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 apple (peeled, cored, and finely chopped or grated)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy. Gently fold in the chopped apple.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with butter and maple syrup, or your favorite toppings like whipped cream or caramel sauce.
Enjoy these warm, cozy pancakes any time of year!
