| All-purpose flour | 150g |
| Rice flour | 50g |
| Fuji apple | 1 |
| Butter | 45g |
| Brown sugar | 100g |
| Whole milk | 180g |

| Butter (for cooking) | 20g |

Instructions
-
Prepare the apples: Start by washing the apples. Cut them in half, leaving the skin on. Take one half of the apple and chop it into large pieces. Transfer the pieces to a mixer and blend them until you get a smooth puree (about 100g of apple puree). Set this aside.
-
Slice the remaining apple: Peel the second half of the apple and cut it into thin slices, then chop them coarsely into smaller pieces.
-
Make the batter: In a large bowl, combine the whole milk, eggs, brown sugar, lemon zest, and orange zest. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
-
Add the dry ingredients: In the same bowl, add the all-purpose flour, rice flour, and baking powder. Stir until you achieve a lump-free batter.
-
Incorporate the apple puree and chunks: Mix in the apple puree and the chopped apple slices to the batter. Stir gently to ensure an even distribution of apples.
-
Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and add about 20g of butter to grease the surface. Once melted, pour a small amount of batter into the pan to form a pancake. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
-
Serve: Once all the pancakes are cooked, stack them on a plate. Drizzle the warm acacia honey over the top for a sweet finish.
Enjoy your Apple Pancakes as a delicious breakfast or brunch, and feel free to add extra toppings like whipped cream, extra honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a decadent treat.
