lodiburgmayor said:I did this recipe for a show the week before last and it did "magically" fall. I thought maybe you were at a high altitude then I looked and saw you are in Alabama?? So that blows that theory out of the water. You did use all purpose flour and not self rising??? I hope you give it another try!

! However I did notice an egg taste to it, but I guess the true intention of the recipe is for breakfast and if you think about traditional pancakes they are rather bland without maple syrup?? Anyway I am sure it wouldn't hurt the "magic"
to add whatever spices you wanted to enhance the flavor. I am glad you solved your "magic" problem realizing it was the flour! Good luck if you try it again! KarenCommon mistakes include using overripe or undercooked apples, not measuring ingredients accurately, and failing to preheat the pan properly. Additionally, using the wrong type of flour or not allowing the batter to rest can also affect the final outcome.
To achieve fluffy apple pancakes, make sure to separate the wet and dry ingredients and mix them gently. Avoid overmixing the batter, as this can lead to dense pancakes. Also, letting the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes before cooking can help improve fluffiness.
For pancakes, it's best to use firm and slightly tart apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji. These varieties hold their shape well during cooking and provide a nice balance of sweetness and tartness.
To prevent sticking, ensure your pan is well-greased with butter or cooking spray before adding the batter. Using a non-stick skillet or griddle can also help. Make sure the pan is properly preheated before pouring in the batter.
Apple pancakes pair wonderfully with toppings such as maple syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. You can also add chopped nuts or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor and texture.
