Best Apple Pancakes Recipes

For Breakfast, Brunch, Dinner and Pancake Day

Homemade pancakes taste much better than store-purchased pancakes. They are easy to make, and definitely worth the effort!

A pancake is a thin, flat cake made from a batter and cooked in a frying pan or hot griddle. It is most commonly eaten at breakfast, but can also be prepared for brunch, lunch or supper!



Many people eat pancakes on a day specifically named, "Pancake Day". Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday (the Tuesday which falls 41 days before Easter) is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday.

There are many variations of pancakes worldwide, such as French "crepês", German "pfannkuchen", Dutch "pannenkoeken", Scottish "drop scones", Mexican "hotcakes", and of course the English pancake that is most commonly prepared in North America!

The three key ingredients to a pancake are plain flour, eggs, and milk. Many additional ingredients are commonly used as well, including sour cream, cornmeal, buttermilk, and yogurt. Also, almond flour can be used instead of plain flour for those who cannot tolerate wheat.

TIPS for Making the Best Pancakes:

Do NOT over-mix pancake batter! Mix batter just long enough to combine all the ingredients.

A pancake is ready to be flipped over when it is dry around the edges and bubbles have formed over the top.

To keep baked pancakes warm and fresh while finishing the others, simply arrange the finished pancakes on a baking sheet or an oven-safe plate and place them in the oven at 200° F to keep them warm and fresh!
