Ingredients
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
1 apple
1/4 cup jarred caramel sauce or dulce de leche, plus more for serving
Greek yogurt, whipped cream or ice cream, for serving
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
- 2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium nonstick or cast-iron skillet. Whisk into the egg mixture and reserve the skillet for cooking the pancakes. Whisk the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture until it forms a thick, lumpy batter.
- 3. Core and grate the apple on the large holes of a box grater into a small bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Add the caramel sauce and stir until the flour is absorbed. Stir into the batter until just combined.
- 4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Drop 2 tablespoons batter per pancake into the hot skillet. Cook until the surface of the pancakes form bubbles and the edges are set, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and continue to cook until puffed in the center, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while making the rest of the pancakes. Continue to make the pancakes, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter as needed, until all the batter is gone.
- 5. Serve the pancakes with a dollop of yogurt, whipped cream, or, for dessert, a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce.
