Description
These Apple Cinnamon Griddle Cakes are soft, lightly sweet, and packed with fresh grated Granny Smith apple and warm cinnamon. They’re quick to mix up for breakfast or a lazy weekend treat, and a drizzle of syrup on top makes them just right.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup Self-Raising flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 to 1 cup milk, added gradually
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 tbsp melted butter, plus extra for cooking
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and freshly grated
- Syrup of your choice, for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk 1 cup Self-Raising flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla essence, and 1 tsp cinnamon powder together.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup milk, mixing as you go, until you have a thick, smooth batter.
- Add a little more milk, up to the full 1 cup, only if needed. The batter should be thick enough to scoop or spoon into the frying pan without spreading too quickly.
- Stir in 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and freshly grated, and 1 tbsp melted butter. Give it a good mix, but don’t overwork the batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of extra butter.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan, making them as big or small as you like. Medium-sized ones are easy to flip.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip carefully and cook the other side until puffed, cooked through, and lightly browned.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve the Griddle Cakes warm with your favourite syrup.
