How To Make buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup apples
-
Step 1For maple syrup apples: Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and 1 tablespoon maple syrup; saute until apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in remaining 1/2 cup maple syrup and cinnamon.
-
Step 2For pancakes: Combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl; whisk to blend. Whisk buttermilk, yogurt, and egg in medium bowl to blend; add to dry ingredients and stir until just blended but still lumpy. Gently mix in 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter.
-
Step 3Heat griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread thin coating of butter over griddle and let melt. Working in batches, drop batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto griddle, spacing apart. Cook pancakes until brown on bottom and bubbles form on top, about 3 minutes. Turn pancakes over and cook until bottoms are brown and pancakes are barely firm to touch. Transfer to plates. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to griddle as needed.
-
Step 4Spoon apples over pancakes. Serve, passing additional maple syrup.
