Apple & Cinnamon Pancakes

Hello dear friends, fellow home cooks, food lovers and everyone else! I am so deeply sorry to have kept the blog in silence for almost 6 months now. Oh I cannot believe it was actually so long! But now we’re back online, back in cooking and sharing the best recipes with you.

So many things have happened during the silent period: we have moved (still living in Helsinki) and we both, me and S have new jobs from the same field, which I could say is something like consulting/content/web/communication. Not much more about that though, because this is not a blog about my work life - just saying I really enjoy it, and have been happy to learn so much new already. And so is S. He’s doing great in his job, and I am extremely proud about that!

Anyway, the most significant thing about the new year, concerning this blog, is that I’m trying to find time to make it bigger and better. First of all I have already invested in it as we bought a new camera, which hopefully will make the pictures better than they have been. In Christmas I also got a book called Styling, Lighting and Photographing Food, which I’m gonna read throughout as I am still learning the secrets of great food photography. The next thing is to get proper lights for our tinier than tiny home studio (if anyone has any suggestions about how to best imitate daylight in darker conditions, I would love to hear), and then everything should be set. Except for the styling part of course, as at the moment I own quite a small amount of kitchenware and dishes to style the images with. So here I come, stores full of lovely stuff!

Today we woke up real late and I made us some pancakes. The recipe was found from my new site crush, Williams-Sonoma. I changed the way of doing the pancakes slightly: Instead of frying the apples straight with the pancake batter I first fried them with butter and sugar and then again under the pancake.

Fluffy Apple & Cinnamon Pancakes

2 eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk

50 grams + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 peeled green apples, 1 cored and finely grated, 1 thinly sliced

In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs on medium speed until frothy.
Add the flour, the 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, buttermilk, butter and vanilla. Stir just until smooth and no lumps of flour remain; do not overmix. Add the grated apple and stir just until combined.

Heat a tablespoon of butter on a non-stick pan over medium heat. Dip the apple slices in sugar and fry them with butter until golden brown from another side, about 5 minutes. Set aside and clean the pan.

Heat up the clean pan again over medium-low heat. One by one place a slice of apple on the pan and pour about 1/3 cups of the batter on top of the apple slice. Cook until bubbles form on top and the batter is set, a few minutes. Using a spatula, flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more.
Serve warm with maple syrup and confectioners sugar.
