Apple Pancakes Recipe

Makes 12 Pancakes

  • 1¼ cups flour                                     
  • 2 tablespoons sugar                           
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder               
  • ¾ teaspoons salt
  • 1-1/3 cup milk
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored & chopped

Mix  the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in the large mixing bowl. Add the milk, egg, and apple and stir just until flour is moistened. 

Procedure:   

Assign jobs among the children; one can peel and chop the apple while a couple others mix up the pancake batter.  Heat the skillet on the stove, coat the bottom with shortening.  When the pan is hot, pour in about ¼ cup batter for each pancake.  When the top of the pancake is bubbly and the edges look dry, flip the pancake over to cook the other side.  Serve each child a pancake on a paper plate with a napkin and a fork.  Let them add butter and syrup to taste.  When everyone has finished eating, assign each child a task to help clean up and put away utensils.
