Brunch apple & cider pancakes
Ingredients
For the pancake batter:
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup Gardener's dry apple cider
1 tablespoon of melted butter or oil
160g of flour
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 medium apple, grated
Butter or oil to grease the pan
For the apple & cinnamon topping:
1 apple, cut into slices
1 tablespoon of butter
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Maple syrup for serving, optional
Preparation method:
To prepare the batter, mix the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking powder and salt - in a clean bowl. Then, crack the egg and whisk in another bowl with the milk and melted butter (or oil). Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the liquid ingredients, stirring constantly so that they are evenly mixed. Grate a peeled and cored apple. Then mix the cider and grated apples evenly into the batter. You can leave the batter to rise for a bit.
Grease a medium-hot pan with butter or oil and fry small pancakes (if the size of the pan allows - you can fry 2-3 pancakes at the same time). When the bottom of the pancake is golden brown and small air bubbles start to form on the top, flip the pancake to the other side.
To make the apple and cinnamon garnish, melt the butter in a pan and fry the apple slices over moderate heat, adding sugar after a few minutes. Stir in the pan until golden brown, then sprinkle with cinnamon.
Serve the pancakes are served with apple and cinnamon garnish and maple syrup. Have a delicious holiday brunch!
