Breakfast Is the Most Important Meal Of The Day - Recipe Added

I am the kind of person who eats fruit for breakfast on most days. I dont like the heavy feeling of most foods. I recently made a wonderful Apple Griddle Cakes With Apple Pecan Syrup. This was a breakfast that even I enjoyed. In fact, everyone enjoyed it. I should have made more than I did. It is often hard to find a breakfast food that appeals to men, women and children but this one does. It is easy to make and you probably have the ingredients in your pantry. Eveyone just loved it. I hope you love it too. You can also make these griddle cakes and then freeze them for later use. I made double the recipe for the syrup as we like to keep syrup on hand to eat anytime we want them. We just freeze some griddle cakes. When we want them just heat them up or even put them in the toaster and add syrup. They freeze well once they are prepared. Yummy! Apple Griddle Cakes with Apple Pecan Syrup Griddle Cakes 1-1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour 1-1/4 tsp. baking powder 3/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg, well beaten 1 cup milk, at room temperature 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted 1 cup finely chopped apples Mix and sift flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar then sift again. It is very important that you do this second sifting as it makes the powder have the desired affect. Next Combine egg, milk, butter and apples. Add this mixture gradually to the flour mixture, stirring only until dry ingredients are moistened. DO NOT OVER STIR Bake on hot greased griddle. I use a cast iron griddle for this as it gives it that old fashioned flavor. This recipe will Make 14 to 16 griddlecakes.
