CALIFORNIA WALNUT PANCAKES WITH MAPLE WALNUT BUTTER

Prep: 15 minutes

Cook: 8 minutes

Serves: 4

 What You’ll Need:

  • 125g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 medium egg
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup + extra to serve
  • 284ml tub buttermilk
  • 50g California Walnut Pieces, chopped + extra to serve
  • Oil for shallow frying
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced (100g)

For the walnut butter:

  • 50g butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 25g California Walnut Pieces, chopped

What To Do:

  • To make the walnut butter, whisk the butter and maple syrup together until pale, stir in the walnuts and set aside.
  • Place the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl and mix to combine.  In a jug, beat the egg and maple syrup into the buttermilk and whisk into the flour mixture, stir in the walnuts.
  • Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan and add 4 tablespoons of batter to make 4 pancakes.  Cook for 2 minutes each side and repeat to make 8 pancakes.

Cooks tip

Try making the pancakes a little in advance and just reheat gently in the oven before serving. Honey works just as well as maple syrup or serve with fresh berries or even bacon.
