Ingredients

  • 2
    eggs
  • 2
    cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/3
    cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2
    teaspoons baking powder
  • 1
    teaspoon baking soda
  • 1
    teaspoon salt
  • 2
    teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1
    teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4
    teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 2
    cups plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 4
    tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2
    teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2
    peeled Granny Smith apples, 1 cored and finely grated and 1 thinly sliced on a mandoline

Directions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs on medium speed until frothy. Add the flour, ⅓ cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, buttermilk, butter and vanilla. Stir just until smooth and no lumps of flour remain; do not overmix. Add the grated apple and stir just until combined.

  2. 2

    Heat a griddle over medium-high heat until a few drops of water flicked onto the surface skitter across it. Lightly spray the griddle with nonstick cooking spray.

  3. 3

    For each pancake, sprinkle ½ teaspoon sugar on 1 apple slice and place on the griddle. Add about ⅓ cup of the batter on top of the apple slice. Cook until bubbles form on top and the batter is set, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Keep warm until all the pancakes are cooked.
