Apple pancakes
What you need
- 4 large red-skinned apples
- freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
- 175 g self-raising flour, sifted
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 25 g caster sugar
- 475 ml milk
- 6 tsp butter
Method
Peel, core and slice the apples into 9mm circles. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until light in colour. Make a well in the centre of the flour. Pour in the egg mixture and half the milk. Slowly beat together until the mixture is smooth. Beat in the remaining milk, adding more milk if necessary to make a thick pouring batter.
Heat a little of the butter in a large frying pan. Add an apple circle and top with spoonfuls of batter making sure the apple is completely covered. Continue to cook over a medium heat until firm. Flip the apple over and cook until golden brown. Remove and keep warm while continuing with the remaining apple circles and batter.
Serving suggestion
Serve 2-3 pancakes per person. Decorate with a liberal dredging of cocoa powder, maple syrup, sprigs of mint and apple slices. Serve with a dollop of ice cream.
Cook's tip
Use clarified butter as this cooks at a higher temperature without smoking.
