Apple Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

Buttermilk, is of course, the magic ingredient. It not only adds flavor, but also acid which reacts strongly to the baking soda. This makes pancakes lighter. Just buy one quart every few weeks and keep it on hand. It isn’t expensive and it keeps well. 

Homemade pancakes have many variations and they can be topped or served with fruits, nuts, jams, cheese cream, syrup or butter. So if you don’t have apples at home, you can make your pancakes with other fruits. Savory pancakes are popular too. You can try potato latkes or thin pancakes filled with meat, cheese, vegetables or fish. Savory homemade pancakes are great idea for lunch or dinner. 

Here is the recipe for delicious apple cinnamon buttermilk pancakes. I used all-purpose and multigrain flour, but you can use normal flour if you want.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 
1/2 cup multigrain flour 
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted 
1-1/2 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp baking soda 
2 tbsp granulated sugar 
3/4 tsp cinnamon 
1/4 tsp salt 
1 apple, peeled and cored 
1 tbsp vegetable oil

How to make pancakes:

1.) In one bowl whisk together multigrain flour and all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and cinnamon.

2.) Take another bowl, and whisk together buttermilk, eggs and melted butter.

3.) Pour over the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Don’t mix too long. The batter should have some lumps.

4.) Grate apple and squeeze to remove excess juice. Then fold into the batter

5.) Take a griddle or a frying pan and brush it with some oil. Heat the frying pan over medium high heat.

6.) Pour ¼ cup of the batter for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the underside is golden and bubbles break on top but not fill in.

7.) Turn and cook until golden, for about 1-2 minutes.

8.) Serve warm and topped with desired syrup.
