Points®

Total time: 35 min • Prep: 15 min • Cook: 20 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy

Brown sugar and the fruit's natural sugars work together to caramelise the pears in these buttermilk pancakes.

Ingredients

Plain wholemeal flour

½ cup(s), (75g)

Plain flour

½ cup(s), (75g)

Caster sugar

1 tbs

Egg(s)

1 medium

Egg white

1 medium

Buttermilk

¾ cup(s), (180ml)

Pear(s)

1 medium, (corella), unpeeled

Brown sugar

1 tbs

Vanilla yoghurt, low-fat, added sugar

½ cup(s), (120g)

Instructions

1

Sift the flours into a medium bowl. Stir in the caster sugar. Place the egg, egg white and buttermilk in a jug and beat with a fork until combined. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth. Set aside for 10 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, cut the pear into quarters and remove the core. Cut each quarter into 6 slices to make 24 slices.

3

Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium heat. Spoon ¼ cup (60ml) of the batter into the pan and spread out with the back of a spoon until 1cm thick. Arrange 3 slices of pear on top and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of brown sugar. Cook for 1–2 minutes or until bubbles rise to the surface. Turn and cook, pressing down with a spatula, for 1–2 minutes or until pancakes are lightly browned and pears are caramelised. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

4

Repeat with remaining batter, pear and brown sugar to make 8 pancakes (you can cook several at once if you like). Serve pancakes warm with a drizzle of yogurt.
