1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
A pinch of salt

👩🍳 Instructions
Prepare the Apples
Peel and grate the apples finely. If they are very juicy, lightly squeeze out excess liquid.
Mix the Batter
In a bowl, combine the grated apples, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until you get a soft, slightly thick batter.
Cook the Buns
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil or butter.
Spoon portions of the batter into the pan and gently flatten them.
Fry Until Golden
Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve Warm
Remove from the pan and place on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
