Tortitas de manzana

Ingredientes

• 1 Granny smith apple grated
• 60 g unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large egg
• 250 ml milk
• 175 g plain flour / all purpose flour
• 20 g caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• half a teaspoon ground cinnamon
• half a teaspoon ground ginger
• tiny pinch of nutmeg if you fancy

Preparación

1. 1

   Melt the butter on a low heat and remove to cool slightly.

2. 2

   In a large bowl mix together the butter, egg, milk and grated apple.

3. 3

   In a bowl weigh out the flour, sugar, baking powder and spices.

4. 4

   Sieve in the flour mix to the wet ingredients and whisk until you get a medium thick mix. You don't want it too runny. The mix will not be completely smooth because of the grated apple.

5. 5

   Get a heavy based pan or griddle nice and hot and drop spoonfuls of mix on to get the size you want. You might need a little butter if your pan isn't non stick. My pancakes were about 2 tablespoons of mix each.

6. 6

   After a minute see how brown the pancakes are and if they are starting to brown flip them. If they aren't completely cooked you can flip them back later.

7. 7

   - Put the finished on a warm plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm while you make more for the stack.

8. 8

   - They are lovely with a drizzle of maple syrup but to make it more special, I would recommend fresh fruit. Especially strawberries, kiwi and pears. The flavours work so well together with the pancakes.
