Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

1 cup apple butter

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Sliced apples (for garnish, optional)

Maple syrup (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk (or milk with vinegar), egg, and melted butter until fully blended. Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—avoid overmixing as some lumps are perfectly fine.

    Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and allow it to warm up. Add a small pat of butter to the pan, swirling it around to coat the surface evenly.

      Cook the Mini Pancakes: Using a tablespoon, pour approximately 2 tablespoons of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each mini pancake. Allow them to cook for 1-2 minutes or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional minute until they are golden brown. Continue this process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.

        Assemble the Sandwiches: Take one freshly cooked mini pancake and generously spread apple butter on top. Place a second mini pancake atop the apple butter to create a delightful sandwich.

          Add Whipped Cream (Optional): For an indulgent touch, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a light dusting of ground cinnamon on top of each pancake sandwich.

            Garnish and Serve: Enhance your presentation by topping each sandwich with thinly sliced apples for a refreshing crunch and a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness. Serve immediately while the pancakes are warm and fluffy.
