The sleepy child can barely manage to pour syrup on his pancakes.<\/p><\/div>\n

In my continuing celebration of apple season I decided yesterday to try putting apples into pancakes. My nephew Michael was sleepy when he got up for school but endorsed the idea as well as a drowsy child could.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s mother Leigh had to go run an errand as I was preparing to throw the pancakes together. I found most of the ingredients in her kitchen, but the flour was a mystery. I had NO IDEA what Leigh had in her flour bin.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
It looked like plain old flour\u2014but Leigh has been known to use white whole wheat flour and even gluten-free flour in her cooking. The child was stirring in his bed so I decided to take a chance and use whatever it was.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
When Leigh returned home she informed me that I had in fact made the pancakes with King Arthur Flour\u2019s gluten-free multi-purpose flour blend<\/a>. This blend worked like a charm. I\u2019m a little fussy about consistency, and I had nothing to fuss about here.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Young Michael\u2014and everyone else\u2014pronounced the apple pancakes a roaring success. He even finished the meal looking\u00a0much more perky\u00a0than he does in the photo above.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

The Pancakes<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Ingredients:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
1 cup gluten-free flour (or the flour of your choice)
\n1\/2 teaspoon baking soda
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n1 teaspoon baking powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon
\n1 tablespoon sugar
\n1 egg
\n1 cup buttermilk
\n2 tablespoons melted butter
\n1 medium apple, finely chopped
\nbutter as needed for heating<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Instructions:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Using a whisk combine the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
In a separate bowl whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Gently stir the wet ingreidents into the apple mixture. Do not overmix. Stir in the apple pieces.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Heat a frying pan or skillet to medium heat (375 on an electric skillet), and melt a small amount of butter into it.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Dollop a generous serving spoon of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Do not crowd the cakes in your pan.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Turn the pancakes after a minute or two, when they are nice and bubbly on the surface and easy to lift. Add a bit more butter as needed to prevent sticking. Remove and serve with butter and warm maple syrup.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Makes about 12 pancakes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
