President Grant's Apple Pancakes

Prep Steps

• 4 Granny Smith apples, then dice {do:peel}
• 2 tbsp butter {do:melt}

Cook the Apples

In a pot, cover with water...

• 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced

Boil on high 7–8 minutes, until the apples are soft.

Drain, then mash with a fork or potato masher and set aside.

The Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together...

• 4 large eggs
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Fold the mashed apples into the batter.

Cook

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and grease it with...

• 1 tbsp butter

Drop the batter by 1/4 cupfuls into the skillet. When bubbles form and start to pop at the edges, flip.

When the pancakes are golden on both sides, serve with butter and syrup. Or, as President Grant preferred, with a side of ham.
