Ingredients

  • 300g self-raising flour
  • 2 red apples , grated
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp light brown soft sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 220ml whole milk
  • 2 tbsp neutral-tasting oil (such as vegetable or sunflower)
  • 300ml double cream
  • 4 tbsp light brown soft sugar
  • 4 limes , zested, plus extra wedges to serve
  • 100g Greek-style yogurt

Method

  1. Put the flour, grated apples, baking powder and sugar in a bowl and mix with 1 tsp sea salt flakes.

  2. Whisk the eggs and milk together, then gradually whisk this into the flour and apple mixture until you have a smooth batter.

  3. For the topping, put the cream and sugar in a bowl and whisk to stiff peaks using an electric whisk. Fold in most of the lime zest and the yogurt, then chill until needed.

  4. Heat half the oil in a pan over a medium heat, spoon in 2 tbsp of the batter and spread out into a small circle. Repeat to fill the pan (you’ll need to do this in batches). Cook for 2-3 mins until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook for 2-3 mins more.

  5. Spoon the whipped topping over the pancakes, then scatter over the remaining lime zest. Serve with the lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.
