Apple Pancakes

To prepare the apple pancakes, first take care of the apples. Peel them 1 and cut them in half and then into slices 2. Remove the core part 3.

Cut half of the apple into pieces 4 and transfer it to a blender along with the milk 5. Blend everything until you obtain a smooth sauce 6. Cut the remaining apple into cubes of about 0.4 inches and keep them aside, then melt the butter and let it cool.

In the meantime, separate the egg yolk from the white and beat the latter until stiff peaks form 7 8 with electric beaters. Now pour the egg yolk into a bowl and add the brown sugar 9.

Also pour in the apple milk 10 and mix with a hand whisk 11 until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Place a sieve over the bowl and pour the flour and rice flour inside 12.

Add the baking powder 13 and sift everything into the mixture 14. Mix again with the hand whisk 15.

Once you have obtained a homogeneous mixture 16, add the now lukewarm butter 17 and mix again to combine 18.

Now add the egg white 19 and mix very gently from bottom to top 20. Then add the apple cubes set aside 21.

Mix again, this time with a spatula 22 23, then add the grated lemon zest 24.

Mix one last time 25. Now it’s time to cook the pancakes. Heat a wide non-stick pan on the stove, lightly buttered. Place 2 tablespoons of batter on one side to form the first pancake, then form the others in the same way 26. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip them 27.

Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes 28, then when they are golden brown on both sides, transfer them to a plate 29. Serve your apple pancakes with maple syrup on top 30.
