Apple Pancakes with Caramel Apple Syrup
Description
The pancakes are prepared by mixing a batter of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with yogurt, apple cider, and egg yolks. Whipped egg whites are folded in to create a lighter texture. Cooking on a griddle until golden yields fluffy and tender pancakes with mild apple flavor from the cider and a slight tang from the yogurt.
The accompanying caramel apple syrup is made by melting butter and combining it with apple cider and brown sugar, boiled briefly to thicken slightly. The syrup has a sweet, buttery taste enriched with apple notes that complement the pancakes. Adjusting the amount of cider in the syrup can produce thicker or smoother consistencies.
This dish is suitable for a special breakfast or brunch, showcasing seasonal apple flavors with a subtle caramelized sweetness.
Ingredients
Pancakes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup yogurt Greek; vanilla
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 egg whites and yolks separated
Caramel Apple Syrup:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup apple cider
- 1 cup brown sugar
Instructions
To make the pancakes:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the yogurt, cider and egg yolks. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add 1/4 of the egg whites to the batter and stir in. Add the remaining egg whites and fold in, just until combined.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray or melt a small amount of butter on the griddle. Pour batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto the hot griddle. Cook until browned, then flip and cook on the second side.
To make the syrup:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add in the apple cider, then stir in the brown sugar. Cook, whisking, until it comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use 1/4 cup apple cider for a thicker syrup or up to 1/2 cup for a smoother, thinner consistency.
