Apple And Hazelnut Pancakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup hazelnuts, chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour, or
1 cup all-purpose flour, gluten free blend
2 tablespoons flax seed meal
1 pinch sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar (I used Organic Evaporated Cane Juice.)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 - 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1 large apple, washed, cored and finely chopped
cooking spray

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, flax seed meal, salt, soda, baking powder and sugar.
Make a well in the center and add in egg and gradually mix in the buttermilk until desired consistency. Fold in the apple and chopped nuts. Allow batter to rest while preheating the griddle.
Preheat a cast iron griddle until it sizzles. Spray lightly with cooking spray and drop batter onto seasoned griddle using a 1/4 cup measure. Cook until bubbles form on top, turn and continue to cook until done.
Serve with berries or warmed maple syrup.
