Granny Smith Apple Pancake Rings

 

 

Here is a different twist on breakfast!  The Granny Smith Apples give this a little tartness to go along with the sweet pancake batter and syrup.  My grandbabies loved these when I made them.

 

Granny Smith Apple Pancake Rings

 

1 Granny Smith Apple, core and slice apple very thinly into rings

 

For Pancake Batter:

     1 1/2 cups flour

     2 Tbsp. sugar

     2 tsp. baking powder

     1/2 tsp. baking soda

     1/2 tsp. salt

     1 1/4 cups of milk (more or less)

     2 eggs

     2 Tbsp. real butter

 

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.  Stir well to combine.  Beat eggs in a separate bowl and add to the dry ingredients.  Add the butter and then the milk by adding first 1 cup and then additional milk until it is the desired consistency.  You want it a little thick because you are going to dip the apple rings in it.

 

Dip an apple ring into the batter, coating both sides evenly.  Fry in a skillet with real butter or oil.  Butter just gives it a better flavor and you don't have to butter your pancakes before you add syrup.

Flip once first side is lightly browned.  Should be about 3 minutes on each side (estimating).

 

Remove from heat and serve with your favorite syrup.

 

The key to these is getting the apple rings very very thin.....They are fabulous!

If you don't like tart apples, any apple will do.  Enjoy!
