Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 0.75 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 medium apple (grated)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the granulated sugar.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together until fully combined. Add the melted butter to the egg mixture and whisk again.

Step 3

Peel and grate a medium apple. Gently squeeze out any excess liquid to avoid thinning the batter.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy. Gently fold in the grated apple.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 6

Spoon tablespoons of batter onto the hot pan to form small, round pikelets. Cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set.

Step 7

Flip the pikelets carefully using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Remove the cooked pikelets from the pan and transfer them to a plate. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batches.

Step 9

Serve the pikelets warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, honey, yogurt, or fresh fruit.
