Ingredients: -
1 cup flour,
1 Tbsp baking powder,
1 ½ Tbsp granulated sugar,
½ tsp ground cinnamon,
½ cup unsweetened apple sauce,
½ tsp salt,
1 cup milk,
1 large egg,
2 Tbsp unsalted, melted butter,
½ tsp vanilla extract,
Vegetable oil or cooking spray -
To Serve: -
½ cup unsweetened apple sauce,
Icing sugar to dust,
Whipped Cream -
METHOD: -
In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together apple sauce, milk, egg, butter and vanilla. For fluffier pancakes, add just ¾ cup of milk. If the batter is too thick at the end, then mix in the remaining ¼ cup.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined (the batter will be slightly lumpy). Do not over mix.
Spray a large frying pan with cooking spray or dampen a paper towel with vegetable oil and rub on top of the pan. Heat the pan over medium-low heat and add pancake batter using a ¼ measuring cup. Pour as many that will fit in your pan.
Cook for 1-2 mins until small bubbles begin to form on the surface, the edges have set, and the bottom of the pancake turns golden brown. Flip the pancake over and cook for another 1-2 mins until the other side is also golden brown.
Remove the pancakes from the pan and set aside on a plate. Repeat in a few batches until all the batter is used up.
Stack the pancakes and dust with icing sugar, top with a blob of cream in the middle and drizzle a little of the apple sauce on top of the cream and then around the bottom of the plate.
