Description
Polish Apple Pancakes are a delightful treat made with diced apples, flour, and a hint of vanilla, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized apples, peeled and diced into small pieces
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp of sugar
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 1.5 cups of plain flour (185g)
- 0.5 cup of milk (125ml)
- 1/2 lemon juice (skip if your apples are already very sour)
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
- Icing sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the diced apples with the juice of half a lemon. Set aside until later. Skip the lemon juice if the apples are already sour enough.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg and 3 tbsp of sugar until pale yellow, which should take around 2 minutes.
- Add 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and milk. Whisk the mixture until it’s smooth and free of lumps. If the batter seems too thick, add 20ml more milk. Keep in mind that higher protein flour absorbs more liquid.
- Fold in the diced apples and mix them into the batter. (Alternatively you can grate them instead for different texture)
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp of oil. Add 2 tbsp of pancake mix to the pan, and spread it slightly into the desired shape. Fry the pancake on each side for around 2 minutes. If the pancake browns too quickly, turn down the heat.
- Once the pancake is cooked, dust it with icing sugar, and enjoy your delicious Polish apple pancake (Racuchy z Jabłkami)!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of the apples.
- For a different texture, consider grating the apples instead of dicing them.
- Serve warm for the best taste.
