I made the baking powder one on July 26, 2022.  It was ok.
Suggestions for next time:  flatten the pancakes after I put them in the pan, or use less batter.
Use less sugar.  I only used 2 T but it was still too sweet for me.
I used my cast iron frying pan, make sure it's heated up before putting the pancakes in (just like when making regular pancakes).  


POLISH APPLE PANCAKES (with yeast)
Ingredients
  • 1 packet yeast
  • 1 C milk
  • 2 C flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 C sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 5 medium apples, cut into small chunks
  • powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
  1. Heat milk until pleasantly warm.  Add yeast.  May add 1 tsp sugar to activate yeast.
  2. Add yeast with milk and all other ingredients to a large bowl and mix for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Cover and set aside to rise until doubled.
  4. In the meantime, peel and core the apples into small chunks.
  5. Add to the risen dough.  Stir til distributed.  Let sit for about 5 to 10 minutes
  6. Heat oil in frying pan, cast iron might make better pancakes.  Oil should be hot so the pancakes don't soak up oil.
  7. Spoon about 1/4 C batter for each pancake.  Cook on both sides until golden brown.  
  8. Transfer to cooling rack with paper towels.  
  9. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!
