For 4 serving

Ingredients

1 egg
1 apple
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons oil
200 ml milk
200 g plain flour
1 packet baking powder (8 g)
a pinch of salt
a few drops of vanilla extract

Preparation procedure

Preparing the batter: Beat the egg with a pinch of salt and a few drops of vanilla extract. Add the sugar and whisk until the mixture lightens in color and becomes fluffy. Then stir in the oil and milk.
Adding the dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. Gradually add the mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until you get a smooth batter without lumps.
Adding the apple: Peel the apple, coarsely grate it and add it to the batter. Gently fold so the apple is distributed evenly.
Frying: Melt a small amount of butter in a pan and heat it over medium heat. Pour the batter in small amounts to form round pancakes. Fry on one side for about 2–3 minutes, then flip and fry for another 2 minutes until golden and fragrant.
