Recipe description
These pancakes combine the comfort of a classic flapjack with the tender bite of fresh apples and the fluffiness of a soufflé-style batter. The result? Incredibly soft, moist, and lightly sweet pancakes that practically melt in your mouth.
The combination of yogurt and milk keeps them light and airy, while a touch of lemon juice on the grated apples prevents browning and adds a subtle citrus zing. Perfect on their own or with toppings, they’re a hit with every generation at the table.
