Method

• Pancakes Start a nonstick, or cast iron pan heating over a medium heat
• Melt butter in microwave, or in a metal bowl on top of your pan as it is heating
• Load the first six ingredients into a very high sided bowl
• Use your stick blender to blitz it to a paste
• Sift in flour, baking powder and baking soda
• Use a large metal spoon to almost stir in the dry ingredients
• Do not over stir, you will toughen the pancakes
• Lightly grease the pan for the first time batch
• Spoon on pancake and then cover pan with lid if you have one
• Cook for 2 1/2 minutes then remove the lid and flip pancakes
• Cook for a further minute
• Serve
• Apples Sometimes I discover that I have a variety of apples that all need used up
• Take about eight apples of different varieties, and core and cut them into eighths
• Add half a teaspoon of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick
• Cook over medium low heat with half a centimetre of water in the bottom of the pan for 25 to 30 minutes
• Having a variety of apples gives you different textures and flavours
• These are good to store in the fridge and are pleasing with muesli, pancakes or on their own
