Ingredients

  • 75g Plain Flour
  • 1 Medium Egg
  • 200ml Semi-Skimmed Milk
  • 1 Eating Apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 35g Caster Sugar
  • Finely grated zest and juice of 1 Lemon
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil

  

Method

  1. Put the flour into a large jug or mixing bowl.
  2. Add the egg and milk and beat with a whisk to make a smooth batter.
  3. Heat a pancake pan or non-stick frying pan.
  4. Add a few drops of vegetable oil to the pan.
  5. Pour in a quarter of the batter and tilt the pan so that it spreads evenly over the surface.
  6. Cook over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes until set, then flip over to cook the other side (keep the pancakes in a warm place until all of them are cooked).
  7. Make 4 pancakes in total, adding 2-3 drops of oil to the pan for each one.
  8. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan over a medium-high heat then sauté the apple slices for 3-4 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle the sugar over them and cook for a couple more minutes until lightly browned.
  10. Add the lemon zest and juice, stir to coat, then remove from the heat.
  11. Serve 2 pancakes per person, topped with the caramelised apples.
