I just made these and man are they delicious! I used granny smith apples that i did not peel, added a little extra sugar, and used generous amounts of cinnamon, cardamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract and orange peel. They are fine with maple syrup but would be more tasty with something else- butterscotch, maybe?
… And I baked them on an electric griddle.
Thanks for the recipe!

Ooooh, this looks like pure HEAVEN! So light and delicately fluffy. Can’t wait to make them this weekend!

Oh my God ! These pancakes look almost as gorgeous as my grandmother’s !
I am ashamed to mention – as it’s probably not politically correct – that she would use a piece of raw ham fat to grease her cast-iron pan…
…and add rum- or brandy-soaked sultanas to the batter…

It’s years after you posted this, but I keep going back to this recipe. It’s unbelievably good. My additions: orange zest and 1/4 t almond extract. Divine!

Be still my heart. For years I have gone with the giant puffy partly baked apple pancake … but this is a must try!

100% yum. My brothers loved this as well, wait… they love any food product. But they did go out of their way to compliment me and suggest I make these as much as possible! I did add one grated pear. I don’t know why, just wanted to, and it was a fun mix!

I just found your site, and like the way you write. I still have my old set of cast iron, but they’re too heavy to use daily (not as strong as I once was).
How I care for my cast iron, I hand wash, wipe it down lightly with oil and turn it upside down in warm, but off, oven, until morning. Never had sticking problem.
I did spring for a non-stick Pampered Chef square griddle few years ago that is perfect for “Papaw size” pancakes. Hubby and I have pancakes for early supper ever so often.

Just discovered your site, love it! These are definately being made this week.

As for the cast irom, they are great. One of the things we love to do in ours in pineapple upside down cake.

I made these, and they were mm! I didn’t use any tart apples, but I added a lot of cinnamon (and a tiny bit of cayenne, though that really didn’t come through). I used some really juicy and somewhat bruised apples that’ve been in my fridge for awhile, and added some extra brown sugar to the entire mix. They came out really well! A lot of them had half-custardy/half-fluffy-drop-dead-delicious centers. I didn’t grate the apples, but just chopped it up into more or less matchsticks. When cooked, they came out soft, juicy, and flavor-infused. Thanks for the recipe, SK!

(Oh, yes, I read all the cast-iron pan notes–the irony is that I had one next to me while using the nonstick griddle and I never thought to try the pancakes in the cast iron! ^^;)

Oh my goodness! If I keep looking at this site, I’ll be the size of a house!
This is torture for a baker like me! Virtually everyone I know is on a diet too, which is no help. As it is I have to volunteer to make the pudding for dinner parties just to try out new recipes. Why isn’t salad so interesting?
Actually, one salad is rather tasty, orange and red onion. Thinly sliced skinned oranges with half the amount of sliced onion, drizzled with olive oil, salt, pepper and dried mint. Leave for 30 min. Nice with crusty home made bread……
