A delicious fall breakfast idea is Apple Cider Pancakes. They are delicious topped with powdered sugar with a dash of cinnamon & nutmeg, or sautéed apples. I like to top mine with Apple Cider Syrup.

Ingredients

  • Apple Cider Pancakes
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ⅓ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • A dash of nutmeg
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup plain or vanilla yogurt
  • 4 TBS brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • A dash of nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • Apple Cider Syrup Recipe
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 TBS cup white sugar
  • ¾ TBS cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • dash of nutmeg
  • 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or vanilla bean paste
  • 2 TBS butter

Instructions

  • Blend together the flour baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, oil, yogurt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and cider. Mix well.
  • Add in the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated and the consistency you enjoy for pancakes. Add a little more cider or flour (either way) if you prefer it differently.
  • Cook pancakes as you would normally over medium heat in a buttered or oiled skillet.
  • For the Syrup
    Combine all ingredients *except butter* in a saucepan. Whisk over medium heat for a few minutes until bubbly & thickened a bit. Remove from heat, add in the butter, stir until melted and serve warm.

Notes

Makes 8-10 pancakes depending on size of pancake made.
Syrup is best served warm.
If you don't want to use cornstarch, just allow mixture to boil for a few minutes to help it thicken.
You can easily double the Apple Cider Syrup ingredients. Keep syrup refrigerated in a mason jar (after it is completely cool). Use within 7-10 days. Reheat it gently in microwave (30 second intervals and stir) or in a small pot, just until warmed and loose.
