Serves: 2-3 serves
Ingredients
  • ½ cup (75g) wholemeal spelt flour
  • ¼ cup (40g) plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar (or regular granulated)
  • 2 eggs
  • pinch of salt
  • ¾ cup (190ml) buttermilk (or ¼ cup yoghurt + ½ cup milk)
To serve:
  • 1 apple per two people
  • pinch of salt
  • maple syrup
Instructions
  1. Place all the flours, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  2. Separate the eggs, placing the whites into another mixing bowl, and the yolks in with the flour. Add the salt to the whites and set aside.
  3. Begin to incorporate the yolks into the flour, using a wooden spoon, adding the buttermilk as you go, until you have a smooth, lump free batter.
  4. Whisk the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form and place a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Fold the egg whites into the batter, and then cook the pancakes. Two tablespoon sized pancakes will need about a minute and a half on the first side and a minute on the second.
  5. When all the pancakes are cooked, peel and chop up your apple, and then throw it into the pan with a few tablespoons of maple syrup and cook until just tender. I like to add a pinch of salt to these, but that's optional.
  6. Serve the pancakes with the sauteed apples, and plenty of extra maple syrup!
