Fluffy Fruit Pancakes

fluffy fruit pancakes
Print Recipe
American-style pancakes make a lovely treat for breakfast but can be time-consuming to prepare. For this recipe, I make four large pancakes rather than 12 small ones and serve them topped with lots of berries and a dribble of maple syrup.
Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 35 minutes mins
Servings 4
Calories 247

Ingredients

  • 175 g self-raising flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 275 ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 1 eating apple (around 140g), peeled, cored and coarsely grated
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • oil , for spraying or brushing
  • 250 g mixed fresh or frozen and thawed berries
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or clear honey

Instructions

  • Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir the milk slowly and gradually into the flour mixture, then beat hard with a metal whisk to get rid of any lumps. Stir the grated apple into the batter.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff but not dry. Whisk in the caster sugar. Fold a quarter of the whisked egg whites into the pancake batter with a large, metal spoon until evenly combined, then very gently fold in the rest. You want to try and keep as much air in the pancakes as possible, so they are light and fluffy when you cook them.
  • Spray or brush a medium non-stick frying pan with a little oil and place over a medium-high heat. Ladle a quarter of the mixture into the frying pan.
  • Cook the pancake for 2 ½ minutes on one side, or until the surface looks almost dry and you can see small air bubbles rising to the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook on the other side for a further 2 ½ minutes until puffed up and lightly browned.
  • Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Cook the three remaining pancakes in exactly the same way. Serve the hot pancakes topped with plenty of fresh fruit and dribble with maple syrup or honey.

Notes

To freeze

Open freeze the cooled pancakes. Once solid, place in a large zip seal bag, label and freeze for up to 1 month. To serve, heat through in a dry non-stick pan over low heat or microwave for a few seconds, until piping hot.

My latest book – PING! – is published today.⁠
⁠
It’s a collection of over 100 energy-saving, family-friendly recipes cooked using just a microwave oven. ⁠
⁠
It’s a bit of departure from my recent books, but one I hope you'll find useful – and perhaps intriguing too. There's something fascinating about cooking in the microwave and, even though I’ve been using them for many years, I was surprised by the huge variety of different - and very delicious - dishes that could be cooked successfully using microwave power alone. Everything from easy curries and 'casseroles', to lasagne, barbecue-style chicken, spicy rice, banoffee pie, sticky toffee pudding, rich chocolate brownie and lemon drizzle cake! ⁠
⁠
If you do fancy taking a peak at Ping!, you can find it in your local bookshop, online and via the link in my bio.⁠

For a healthy midweek meal, why not try a simple v For a healthy midweek meal, why not try a simple veggie bolognese? Taken from my slow cooker book, this one makes four really generous servings or six smaller portions. It freezes very well and can be used for a lasagne, pasta bake or base for veggie cottage pie. Perfect if you like to go meat-free or simply fancy a change.⁠
