Ingredients for Apple Bacon And Cheddar Pancakes

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Butter
  • Buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • Granny Smith Apples
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon

How to Make Apple Bacon And Cheddar Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup milk.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup diced apples, 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Heat a lightly oiled large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite maple syrup or a drizzle of honey.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
