For 4 serving

Ingredients

2 cups buttermilk (cmar)
2 cups all-purpose flour (with a slight „heap“)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3–4 apples (peeled, cored; diced or coarsely grated)
oil for frying
powdered sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Preparation procedure

Batter In a bowl whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, sugar and baking soda. Stir in the flour until a smooth, medium-thick pourable batter without lumps forms.
Apples Add the chopped or coarsely grated apples and mix. If the batter thins from the juice of the apples, add 1–2 tablespoons of flour.
Frying Heat a thin layer of oil in a pan over medium heat. Use a spoon to form small patties, fry 1.5–2 minutes on the first side (until bubbles appear and the edges set), then flip and fry 1–1.5 minutes more until golden. Wipe the pan lightly and replenish oil as needed.
Serving Let the hot pancakes drain briefly on a paper towel, serve sprinkled with powdered sugar, with a spoonful of yogurt or quark, or with jam.

Total preparation time 30–35 minutes

Servings 4–6 servings

Note 1 cup = 250 ml

Tips for a reliable result

Baking soda reacts with the buttermilk and gives fluffiness – baking powder is not needed.
For a more fragrant version add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon or a pinch of lemon zest.
Fry the pancakes more slowly over medium heat so they cook through inside as well.

Conclusion

Buttermilk apple pancakes are quick, soft and naturally juicy thanks to the fruit. The batter requires no rising and no baking powder so anyone can make it, and you can easily adjust the flavor with spices or additions. An ideal recipe worth having in your basic repertoire.
