German Apple Pancakes

Ingredients

German Pancake Batter:
1 cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup club soda
1 large apple peeled and thinly sliced

Frying The Pancakes:
¼ cup vegetable oil

Cinnamon Sugar:
3 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Peel, core, and slice the apple. Set aside.

Separate the egg yolk from the egg whites and put the egg whites into a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks and set aside.

In a separate bowl cream, egg yolks and sugar. Add milk and beat until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and beat until well combined.

Use a whisk and slowly mix the soda into the batter. Fold the stiffened egg whites into the batter. Gently fold the sliced apples into the batter.

Combine cinnamon and ¼ cup of granulated sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour about 1 cup of the pancake batter into the skillet.

Cook the pancake until bubbles form. About 3-4 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add more vegetable oil for the next pancake and repeat the process until all pancakes have been cooked.

Serve on a plate and drizzle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
