Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup wholemeal flour
  2. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  3. 1 tablespoon sugar
  4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  5. 1 cup milk
  6. 1 egg
  7. 1 apple, grated
  8. Butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add milk. Mix well until completely combined.
  3. Wash and grate the apple using a box grater, keeping the skin on for added nutrition and fiber. Ensure to remove any seeds.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together, being careful not to overmix. Small lumps are acceptable; overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
  5. Fold the grated apple into the batter, distributing evenly throughout the mixture.
  6. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate.
  7. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to lightly coat the cooking surface.
  8. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the heated surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry.
  9. Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  10. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as needed between batches.
  11. Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional grated apple, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips

  1. Don't overmix the batter! Lumpy batter is your friend - it ensures light and tender pancakes.
  2. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb liquid and the baking powder to work its magic.
  3. Use medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  4. Test your pan's temperature by dropping a small amount of water - if it sizzles, it's ready!
  5. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) while preparing the entire batch.
  6. For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
  7. Grate the apple just before adding to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
  8. Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle for the best results.
