Weekend treat
Apple Pancakes with grilled bacon and apple syrup
This is a breakfast treat I devised when a generous friend gave me heaps of Golden Delicious apples a while ago.I have become very fond of it lately as a weekend treat. The organic apple syrup is great but non-organic versions are cheaper if price is an issue. The pork and apple match is well known.I love Freedom Farms Streaky bacon for this .
4 apples
1 Tablsp. butter
2 Tablsp.apple syrup
Pancakes
1 1/4 cups plain flour
1 Tablsp. baking powder
2 Tablsp. sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk or 1/2 milk 1/2 yoghourt
2 Tablsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tablsp. butter
To garnish , grilled bacon ,more apple syrup and optional yoghourt.
Peel,core and thinly slice apples. Heat butter in a frying pan and add the apples.Cook until they start to colour then add apple syrup to aid that process. When tender and golden, set aside and keep warm.
Sift dry ingredients into a bowl and mix wet ingredients in another.Combine the two mixtures carefully. Dont overmix. Rest the batter for 10 mins or so.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan and add the second tablespoon of butter then fry spoonfuls of batter to make 12 pancakes of 8-10cm size. Add more butter for each batch if you like.When they start to bubble on top and brown around the edges, turn over and finish cooking.Grill the bacon and serve pancakes with the apples in a stack, with more apple syrup and a dollop of yoghourt if you fancy it. Serves 4.
