Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 20 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk or 2%
  • 2 large organic eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream (possible to substitute whole milk greek yogurt)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3.5 tbsp sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 gala apple, peeled then diced finely

Instructions

  1.  Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl, and whisk.

    In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the milk, sour cream, eggs, vanilla, sugar, and diced apple. Mix to thoroughly combine. 

  2. Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle pan on medium heat. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

  3. Add a 1/4 inch pat of butter to the preheated skillet to coat the bottom of the pan. Using a large spoon or 1/4 c measuring cup, pour the batter into the hot pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the fist side, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remainder of the batter. 

  4. Optional but Recommended! Serve with Warm Cinnamon Syrup

    Combine 3/4 cup water, 1 cup dark brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and gently boil the mixture for about 5 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly and reduces. Serve warm alongside the pancakes.

Recipe Notes

*Keep pancakes warm in a preheated 200 degree F oven, on a sheet pan lined with a baking rack. Pancakes stay crisp and warm until you/re ready to serve.
