Chef John's apple fritter pancakes taste wonderful for breakfast topped with some warmed maple syrup.

Ingredients

1 large egg

1 tablespoon white sugar

0.125 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

1 pinch ground ginger

1 pinch nutmeg

0.25 teaspoon kosher salt

0.125 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup shredded apple

1 teaspoon lemon juice

0.5 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed

0.25 teaspoon baking powder

0.125 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

1 Gather the ingredients.

2 Combine egg, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, kosher salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until well combined and lightly foamy. Add shredded apple and lemon juice and fold in with a spatula until well combined. Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until flour disappears and batter is thick yet spoonable.

3 Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add tablespoonfuls of apple batter to the hot butter and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until apple pancakes spring back to the touch and are browned on the other side, an additional 3 minutes.

4 Serve and enjoy!
