Apple Pancakes with Cider Syrup Recipe

Apple Pancakes with Cider Syrup

April Harmon of Greenville, Tennessee shares these tender pancakes filled with minced apple and raisin, and drizzled with apple cider syrup. “They’re wonderful in the summer or on a cool fall morning,” April notes.

Ingredients

    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup whole wheat flour
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
    2/3 cup finely chopped peeled apple
    1/4 cup raisins
    2/3 cup buttermilk
    1 egg, separated
    2 teaspoons butter, melted
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    SYRUP:
    1/4 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
    2/3 cup apple cider or juice
    1 cinnamon stick (1-1/2 inches)
    Dash ground nutmeg
    Additional butter, optional

Directions

    In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; stir in apple and raisins. Combine the buttermilk, egg yolk, butter and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients. In a small bowl, beat egg white until soft peaks form; fold into batter.
    Pour batter by heaping 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle coated with cooking spray; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until the second side is lightly browned.
    Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cider until smooth; add cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Discard cinnamon stick. Stir nutmeg into syrup. Serve pancakes with warm syrup and additional butter if desired. Yield: 6 pancakes (2/3 cup syrup).

The Kids Are Alright (on Boats)

In preparing for this article, I bounced a few ideas around, from interviewing other parents to finding “experts” in childcare or sourcing the best products for childproofing, but then I remembered something I heard a lot when our son was born that, at first, sounded dismissive but in retrospect was sage wisdom: “You’ll figure it out yourself.”

How To Pan Fry Fish

How To Pan Fry Fish

Pan frying fish is, perhaps, the most delicious way to cook any non-fatty fish. The coating protects the flesh from direct heat and helps keep the fish moist, while also providing a browned and crispy or crunchy crust. Yet, the method avoids the large amount of oil (not to mention the mess) required for deep frying. The steps here show how to do a full three-step coating, but the basic idea can also be used to simply coat the fish once with flour to improve browning for pan fried fish. Whether you catch and fillet your own fish or buy them from a fish monger or at a fish counter, always cook with only the highest quality, impeccably handled fish. Look for firm, uniformly textured flesh and a clean smell of ocean, river, or lake. Fish should never smell fishy or have soft spots or bruising.
