How To Make Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

Flip once the edges start to puff up and the bottoms are golden brown.

Recipe Tips For The Perfect Pancakes
- Use buttermilk. Buttermilk gives pancakes its fluffy texture. So when possible use buttermilk. You can make your own by mixing 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice or vinegar. I prefer the lemon juice.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients, but be sure not to overmix. Overmixing will make your pancakes slightly rubbery and not as fluffy.
- Control your temperature. Cooking your pancakes on medium to medium-low heat will make sure they cook all the way through and also give them a golden brown color. If your stove heat is too high, you may burn the pancakes before they’ve had a chance to cook all the way through.
