29th May – Apple and cinnamon hot cakes

Ingredients (serves 3-4):

  • 200g of plain flour
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon of caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 275ml milk
  • 4 apples – cored, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • Knob of butter
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Start by placing the apple, butter, sugar and cinnamon into a pan over a medium heat.  Keep an eye on the apples, stirring occasionally.  You want to gently simmer the apples until they’re soft.

To make the batter, mix together the flour, baking powder and sugar along with the egg and milk until you have a smooth and slightly thick batter.

Heat up a pan and drop in a small knob of butter.  Drop a spoonful or two of the batter into the pan.  Allow the batter to cook until bubbles start to appear on the top; this means time to turn it over!  Try to avoid moving the pan as you want to try and keep the batter still so that you get nice thick hot cakes.  Cook on both sides until golden brown and place in some tin foil to keep warm whilst you repeat the process until the mixture is all used up.

Serve up the pancakes with the apple mix and some ice-cream or cream.
