Why You Should Try This Recipe

The warm scent of cinnamon-infused pancakes with a hint of apple butter wafting through your kitchen is sure to let you and your family know they are in for a special treat.

The addition of apple butter adds a flavor of sweet-tart goodness. They’re super easy to make, and the perfect blend of apple pie and fluffy pancakes.

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1/4 homemade apple butter
• Canola oil or non-stick cooking spray
• Butter for serving
• More apple butter for serving

Let’s Make Fluffy Apple Butter Pancakes

1. Mix the four, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl mix the milk, egg, and apple butter.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix them together.
4. Let the batter sit on the countertop for 5-10 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 200°
6. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray or canola oil.
7. Turn the heat on medium to low heat.
8. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, spoon the batter into the skillet. (I usually make these in batches of three pancakes at a time.)
9. When you see large holes start to form on the top of the pancakes, you’ll know they are ready to flip.
10. As each batch is done, place them on a cookie sheet or plate in the oven to keep them warm until serving.
11. Serve with cold butter and apple butter.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips For Fluffy Apple Butter Pancakes

1. To make perfectly fluffy pancakes, you need to allow the batter it sit before cooking the pancakes. If the batter is too thin, you’ll have dry flat pancakes. I recommend mixing the batter and allowing it to sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes before you cook them.
2. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the batter from the dish to the skillet. That way I get pancakes that are all the same size.
3. Cook the pancakes on medium-low to low temperature. A perfectly fluffy pancake needs time to cook all the way through. You’ll know they are ready to flip when you see large holes start to bubble. When you see a lot of holes, it’s time to flip.
4. I cooked these pancakes in batches of three at a time. I keep the cooked pancakes on an oven-safe plate in a 200° oven to keep them warm. If you don’t have an oven-safe plate or don’t know if your plates are oven-safe, you can use a cookie sheet or even just a large piece of aluminum foil.
