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.
