Apple Pancakes with Berry Syrup

Apple Pancakes with Berry Syrup are one of our favorite breakfasts. I start this pancake breakfast by making an easy mixed berry syrup and some fresh whipped cream. Then, I make some light and fluffy pancakes filled with grated apples. We like these pancakes for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make these pancakes in just about thirty minutes. Secondly, I like that I can make the mixed berry syrup ahead of time. And, lastly, we all love the hearty pancakes, sweet syrup, and fluffy whipped cream.

The Equipment I Used

An Electric Mixer- If you want to make the whipped cream, you’ll need a mixer.
A Nonstick Pan- Use a nonstick pan to cook the pancakes.
A Food Scale- For perfect pancakes every time, use a food scale to weigh your flour.
A Sifter- Use a sifter to sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

The Ingredients Needed for Apple Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup

Butter- Use unsalted butter. I always use Kerry Gold Irish butter.
Heavy Cream- Use heavy cream to make the whipped cream. Don’t use light cream or half and half.
Vanilla Extract- Use this to flavor the whipped cream. Use pure vanilla extract.
Flour- Be sure to use all-purpose flour.
Sour Cream- You can use sour cream or whole milk yogurt in the pancake batter.
Milk- Use whole milk, not lowfat or skim milk.
Apple- Use any kind of apple that you like. Be sure to peel it and then grate it.

How I Made my Pancakes

First, I made my whipped cream. Then, I chilled it until it in the refrigerator while I made the pancakes.
Next, I made the berry syrup. Be sure to watch the syrup so that it doesn’t burn.
Finally, I made the pancakes. When the bubbles appeared, I flipped the pancakes. I served the pancakes with the syrup and whipped cream.

If you like pancakes, you need to try these light and fluffy Apple Pancakes with Berry Syrup.

Ingredients

For the Whipped Cream:

1 cup heavy cream
2 tsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

For the Berry Syrup:

1½ cup mixed berries, fresh or frozen
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup water
1 tsp. cornstarch

For the Apple Pancakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
1 tbsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
¼ cup sour cream
2 tbsp. melted butter
1 cup peeled and grated apples
2 tbsp. butter, for greasing the pan

Instructions

For the Whipped Cream:

In the bowl of an electric mixer, with the whisk attachment on, start beating the cream on low power. Start on low and gradually increase the speed to high. When the cream starts to thicken add the vanilla and sugar. Beat until the cream is fluffy.

For the Berry Syrup:

Put all the ingredients in a 3 quart saucepan, and simmer for 12 minutes or until thick and syrupy.

For the Apple Pancakes:

Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a large mixing bowl.
In a second bowl, beat together the egg, milk, and sour cream. Then stir this mixture into the flour mixture. Mix just until no flour streaks remain. Stir in the melted butter, and then the apples.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle, and melt a teaspoon of butter. Depending on what size you want your pancakes, ladle the correct amount of batter onto the skillet. When bubbles appear, flip your pancakes. Add more butter, as necessary.
