Ginger nut pancakes

Ginger nut pancakes

Try this pancake recipe from Marguerite Patten that uses up apples from the fruit bowl.

Cooking Time: 
25 - 35 minutes
Serves: 
4 people
Preparation Time: 
20 minutes
Ingredients: 

For the batter:
50g/ 2oz Gingernut biscuits, crushed
50g/2oz plain flour
2 eggs
250ml/ 8fl oz milk

Oil or fat for frying
Caster sugar for topping

For the apple puree:
450g apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tbsps water
25 - 50g sugar
25g butter (optional)

For the filling:
300ml thick, sweetened apple puree
50g crystallized ginger, finely chopped
50g walnuts, coarsely chopped

Instructions: 

Blend together the ingredients for the batter. Heat a little oil or butter in a frying pan and ladle enough of the batter into the pan, to make 1 pancake. Cook the pancake on one side for around 1 minute, then flip to cook the other side. Continue like this until all the pancakes are cooked.

Keep the cooked pancakes hot on an uncovered dish in an oven, set on very low heat. Alternatively, place dish on top of a pan of hot water to keep the pancakes warm.

To make the apple puree, simmer the apples with the water, sugar and butter until you acquire a soft puree. Sieve or liquidise for a finer consistency.

For the filling, heat the apple puree, ginger and nuts. Fill each pancake in turn with the mixture, roll and return to a heated dish. Top pancakes with sprinkled sugar and serve.
