Apple Pancakes 2

• Looking through one of my Polish cookery books, I came across this recipe for a batter for racuszki with apples.
• These are more like American style pancakes and I would call them apple fritters in England.
• The original recipe used soured milk , so I used thick full fat Greek style yoghurt thinned down with water.
• The original recipe used sweet eating apples but my Bramley apples are now ripe and I used one of these.
• They were delicious and this will be my batter of choice from now on.

Ingredients

• 1 Bramley apple or 2 eating apples
• 1 egg
• 100g plain flour
• 125 ml thick full fat Greek style yoghurt
• 60 ml of water (you might need a little more)
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• *
• Sunflower oil to fry in
• *
• Icing sugar to dust.

Method

• Mix the egg, yoghurt, water, flour and baking powder together.
• You are aiming for a smooth, thick batter.
• You may need to add a little more water.
• Cover and leave to rest for 1 hour.
• *
• Peel and core the apple.
• Cut into thin slices.
• Put the apple slices into the batter and coat all the sides.
• *
• Fry the fritters in hot oil.
• Turn them over to do both sides.
• Take them out and put onto kitchen roll.
• *
• Keep them warm in a low oven whilst cooking the rest.
• *
