Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal Of The Day - With Recipe

I am the kind of person who eats fruit for breakfast on most days. I recently made a wonderful Apple Griddle Cakes With Apple Pecan Syrup. This was a breakfast that even I enjoyed.  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. 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.
