Wholemeal Fruit Pancakes
About Pancakes
Pancakes are a kind of flatbread prepared from a batter that is baked on a hot griddle or frying pan. They exist in several variations in many different local cuisines. Most pancakes are quick breads, although some are also made using a yeast-raised or fermented batter.
INGREDIENTS
Serves 6
For pancakes
50 gm plain wholemeal flour
50 gm plain flour, sifted
1 egg, beaten
300 ml skimmed milk
Sunflower oil, for frying
For the filling
3 large oranges, peeled, segmented and chopped
475 gm can pineapple pieces in natural juice
25 gm walnuts, chopped
2 teaspoons arrowroot
150 ml pure orange juice
2 tablespoons Kirsch, optional
1. To make the pancake batter, place the flours in a mixing bowl and make a well in the centre.
2. Add the egg and mix in well with a wooden spoon.
3. Pour in half the milk slowly and beat thoroughly. Add the remaining milk and stir well so that the batter has a smooth, creamy consistency.
4. Beat a little oil in a 15 cm / 6 inch non-stick frying pan.
5. Pour a little batter into the pan.
6. Tilt the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook until golden brown, then turn over and cook the other side.
7. Repeat until all the batter has been used.
8. Stack the pancakes on a warmed plate with rounds of greaseproof paper between them. Keep warm.
9. To prepare the filling, place the orange pieces in a bowl.
10. Drain the pineapple and reserve the juice.
11. Chop the pineapple and add it to the orange with the walnuts.
12. Blend the arrowroot with a little of the pineapple juice until smooth.
13. Place the arrowroot mixture, pineapple and orange juice in a small pan.
14. Bring to the boil over a moderate heat, stirring continuously until smooth and thickened.
15. Add Kirsch, if using.
16. Pour a little sauce over the fruit and nuts to coat them. Mix together.
17. Spoon the filling down the centre of the pancakes and fold into triangles.
18. Transfer to a warmed serving dish and serve. Serve the sauce separately.
