All it takes are a few days where the temperatures around here go below 100 degrees to get me wishfully thinking about the cooler weather of Fall and baking up tasty things like fresh, hot pancakes in the morning. This is a good one and different from the usual and goes great with a few strips of bacon on the side.
Cinnamon Apple Pancakes
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash of ground cloves
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 beaten egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup softened butter
1 cup peeled and finely chopped tart apple
Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, spices and sugar. In another bowl combine the egg milk, vanilla, butter, and apples. Stir into the flour mixture until just combined and there are no floury bits in the batter. Bake the pancake in a hot, greased griddle or frying pan.
The size you want to make your pancakes is up to you but I like using about a quarter of a cup for each one. The recipe is easily doubled to make sure everyone gets their fill!
