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.

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.
