Apple Cider Doughnut Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 0.75 tsp ground apple pie spice
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.5 cup apple cider
• 1 tbsp boiled cider (Optional.)
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (Additional oil is used to lightly grease the pan; amount not specified.)
• oil (For lightly greasing the 8-inch oven-safe pan; amount not specified.)
• cinnamon sugar (For topping; amount not specified.)
• whipped apple brown butter (For topping; amount not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch oven-safe pan with oil, then place it over low heat on the stovetop while you make the batter.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, apple pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk the apple cider, buttermilk, egg, and vegetable oil until smooth.

4. 4

   If using the optional boiled cider, add it to the wet mixture and mix to combine.

5. 5

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold just until combined; a few small lumps are fine, so avoid overmixing.

6. 6

   This recipe makes two pancakes, cooked one at a time. Spread half the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

7. 7

   Turn the stovetop heat up to medium and cook until bubbles form on top of the pancake.

8. 8

   Transfer the entire pan to the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the pancake is cooked through. To check, insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with batter, bake for another 2 minutes, then check again.

9. 9

   Repeat the stovetop cooking and oven-baking process with the remaining batter.

10. 10

    Top the pancakes with cinnamon sugar and whipped apple brown butter before serving.

Notes

The recipe mentions cinnamon sugar and whipped apple brown butter as toppings but does not give their quantities or preparation instructions. The stovetop cooking time before baking is not specified.
