Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour sifted for light pancakes
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar or adjust to taste
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder for fluffiness
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon or to taste
  • 1 cup milk whole or 2% milk works best
  • ¼ cup butter melted (unsalted)
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded tart apple peeled for best texture

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl To combine all ingredients
  • 1 Sifter For sifting dry ingredients
  • 1 Grater For shredding the apple
  • 1 Whisk or spatula For mixing wet ingredients into dry
  • 1 set Measuring Cups and Spoons For accurate ingredient measurements
  • 1 Griddle or frying pan Lightly greased for cooking pancakes
  • 1 Spatula For flipping pancakes

Method
 

  1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Create a well in the center and pour in milk, melted butter, and egg; whisk until smooth. Fold in shredded apple until evenly distributed.
  3. Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the surface; cook until bubbles appear on top and edges start to firm, 2–3 minutes.
  4. Flip pancakes carefully and cook until golden brown on the opposite side. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. Serve immediately with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
