Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 medium Grated apple
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the grated apple and raisins until evenly distributed in the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
To make the apple cider syrup, combine the apple cider and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk it into the simmering cider mixture.
Continue stirring and simmering until the syrup thickens, about 2-3 minutes. If desired, stir in a pinch of nutmeg for added flavor.
Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled generously with the apple cider syrup. Enjoy!
