How to Make Apple Pancakes With Lemon Spiced Butter

1. **Prepare the Apples:** Peel and thinly slice 1 medium apple (about 1 cup sliced). Set aside.
2. **Make the Pancake Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt.
3. **Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¼ cups buttermilk, 1 large egg, and 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter.
4. **Combine:** Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. **Cook the Pancakes:** Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
6. **Add Apples:** Arrange a few apple slices on top of each pancake batter before cooking.
7. **Flip & Cook:** Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
8. **Repeat:** Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
9. **Make the Lemon Spiced Butter:** In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup (½ stick) softened unsalted butter, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
10. **Serve:** Stack 2-3 warm pancakes, top with a generous dollop of lemon spiced butter, and fresh berries (optional). Enjoy!
