CARAMELISED APPLES WITH BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES
Method
- To begin, start by making the caramelised apples – add the butter to a medium sized pan and allow the butter to foam a little, add the apples, cinnamon, sugar and a little squeeze of lemon juice. Cook until the apples and golden and sticky (about 5 minutes).
- For the pancakes - separate the eggs. Place the yolks in a large bowl and add the buckwheat flour, honey, baking powder and a pinch of salt and mix thoroughly.
- Slowly add the milk to make a smooth batter You can do all this the night before!
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to firm peaks and fold gently into the yolk mixture (this will aerate the mixture).
- Heat a large fry pan with a little oil and a small knob of butter.
- Drop spoonfuls of mixture into the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Serve with the warm sticky apples and a generous dollop of yoghurt.
