Hi..!
I added an extra apple, extra egg, pinch of cardamom and nutmeg, and 1/8th tsp. of baking powder. I also used Sugar in the Raw, since it's the only type of sugar we keep. The "pancake" puffed beautifully and fell almost immediately after out of the oven. It was a delightful change from our regular pancakes. I think next time I'll add toasted pecans or sprinkle pecans across the top of the batter.
