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 Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
