JAMIE'S APPLE PANCAKES Serves 4
1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup semi-skimmed milk
1 free-range egg
1 pinch sea salt
1 pear
a few knobs butter
fat-free natural yoghurt, to serve
runny honey, to serve
- Put the flour, milk, egg and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Once combined, grate in the pear, core and all then stir it through with a spoon.
- Put a large pan on a medium heat and add a knob of butter. Once that melts, add the batter, a spoonful at a time to the hot pan. You'll need to cook them in batches, cooking them for a few minutes until golden on the bottom, then lipping over and cooking for a few minutes more until they're done.
- When they are golden and fluffy, serve them right away with a dollop of natural yoghurt and some runny honey drizzled all over the top.
