For a guilt(ish)-free pancake, look no further than this finger licking fantastic pancake recipe from Food For Kids.
What You’ll Need:
- 2 Large apples – 1 1/2 grated coarsely and the remaining half sliced
- 60g Buckwheat – or 50/50 with white or spelt flour
- 50ml Whole milk
- 1 Medium sized egg
- 20ml Water
- 1 tsp Coconut sugar or other sugar – optional
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt – optional
- Maple syrup for drizzling – optional
- Coconut oil or butter for frying
- Makes approx. 8-10 Mini pancakes
What To Do:
- Sieve the flours, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium sized bowl
- Make a well in the flour and add the egg. Slowly add the milk and water whilst whisking quickly (helps prevent lumps forming)
- Add your grated apple and mix well
- Heat a tsp of oil in your frying pan until starting to bubble and add a table spoon of mixture per pancake
- Cook for a couple of minutes before turning over – the apple pancakes should be golden, slightly crunchy and cooked all the way through. Cook in batches
- Serve with your remaining sliced apple and a drizzle of maple syrup
Tip: If you are preparing your apple slices in advance rub a little lemon juice over it to stop it discolouring. Grate your apple just before you need it.
