Ease yourself into the weekend with these delicious apple pancakes. Make a double batch and freeze some for later.
Ingredients
- 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
- 375ml (1½ cups) buttermilk
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- 40g butter
- 1 medium pink lady apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 250g mixed fresh berries, to serve
- Lemon-spiced butter
- 100g butter, softened
- 2 tsp mixed spice
- 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
Instructions
- Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre. Whisk the buttermilk and egg together in a jug. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the well and whisk to make a smooth batter.
- Melt half the butter in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat until foaming. Spoon 80ml (1/3 cup) of the batter into the pan and top with apple slices. Cook for 1 minute or until bubbles appear on the surface and the pancake is golden underneath. Turn and cook for a further minute or until golden. Repeat with remaining batter and apple slices, greasing pan with butter before each batch. (To freeze, see below.)
- To make lemon-spiced butter: combine the butter, mixed spice and lemon rind in a small bowl. (To freeze, see below.)
- To serve: Spread pancakes with lemon-spiced butter and arrange in a stack. Top with berries and serve immediately.
