Pancakes With Caramelized Apples - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 None large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups buttermilk
6 tbsp butter, 3 tbsp melted, plus more for cooking pancakes
2 1/3 cups self-rising flour
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
6 None medium apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
None pinch cinnamon
1 oz flaked almonds, toasted
None None whipped cream, to serve (optional)

Preparation

For the pancake batter, whisk eggs, buttermilk and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Sift flour, sugar and salt into a separate bowl. Gradually whisk in the egg mixture, until smooth.
For the apples, melt remaining butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and cook, stirring, until combined. Add apples and cinnamon. Cover loosely. Cook, stirring occasionally, 10 mins, or until apple is just softened and coated. Stir in almonds.
Meanwhile, heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat until hot. Heat a little butter until melted. Pour 1/4 cup batter into pan and cook 2 mins, or until bubbles appear. Flip and cook until lightly browned underneath. Remove from pan and cover with a clean dish towel. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed. To serve, stack pancakes on plates. Top with apples and a dollop of whipped cream, if using.
