Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup barley flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated apple 2 small apples or 1 big apple
  • 2 tbsp butter for pan

Instructions
 

  • Grate the apples using the large side of a box grater. Put the grated apples into a measuring cup, including any excess juice, and set it aside.
  • Mix together all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl using a whisk.
  • Pour in the milk and egg. Mix with the whisk until it is just starting to look like a batter.
  • Then add the apple and finish mixing with the whisk until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt some butter in the pan. The butter is not necessary if you are using a good non-stick pan but the pancakes will taste better with it.
  • Add dollops of batter to your heated pan.
  • Flip them when bubbles form on top. If you are not sure if they are done, just lift the side of the pancake with your spatula to see if it is lightly brown.
  • Cook on second side for about a minute or less. Put them on a plate when they are lightly brown on both sides and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest, or serve immediately.
  • Serve with butter, maple syrup and some fresh cut up apples on the side.
  • Makes approximately 1 dozen pancakes

Notes

I like to keep the pancakes warm in the oven until they are all done. I turn the oven on for about 2 minutes and then turn it off. The oven gets cozy warm but won't make the plate too hot for when you serve the pancakes.
