Healthy Eating Breakfasts: Apple pancakes
You can eat these pancakes for a nice healthy eating weekend breakfast – I did this morning with some Gubbeen sausages and it was delicious. You could also simply put a dollop of natural yogurt and a little maple or honey and make them into a dessert.
This recipe makes 4 medium pancakes – if you can make them a perfect circle you deserve a medal as the apple tends to affect the flow of the batter. You can make these like thin crepes or like smaller pancakes – I made them in between!!
| a little peanut oil (or butter) 1 and a half oz of buckwheat flour(if coeliac) OR 1 oz of buckwheat flour and half oz of white plain or spelt flour 1 small egg 3 fl oz of soya milk (or other milk) 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon or a little less a dash of vanilla extract (if you have it) dash of water 1 small apple |
Sieve the flour(s) into a bowl. Make a hollow in the centre and add in the egg and the soya milk (I hand whisked the egg and soya milk with a fork in the measuring jug before I added but you don’t have to). Add the cinnamon and vanilla at this stage. Quarter and core the apples and grate into the mixture. Give it all a good stir and add a dash of water. Heat your frying pan nice and hot – I cooked on number 9 and the highest on my dial is 12). Put a little of the peanut oil into the pan and swirl around. Pour in 2 tablespoons of the mixture (or something similar) and swirl the mixture in the pan till you get a even spread. I used the back of the tablespoon to try to round the mixture. Leave for a minute or so, when bubbles start popping through all over the mixture its generally done. Flip over and cook on the other side for another minute or so. Place in a warmed oven while you cook the others. If you feel you need it, add another little bit of oil for each pancake. |
