Ingredients
2 servings
- olive oil
- 2 pears
- 1 packet pecans
- 1 packet roasted hazelnuts
- 1 packet pistachios
- 0.5 packets cream
- 1 brown sugar
- 0.25 milks
- 2 eggs
- 1 packet pancake dry mix
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 packet caramel sauce
- 20 gr butter (for the pears)
- 40 gr butter (for the pancakes)
- 1 packet greek-style yoghurt
Instructions
- • Thinly slice pears. Roughly chop pecans, roasted hazelnuts and pistachios.
• In a large bowl, place cream (see ingredients) and whisk with electric beaters until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: If you don't have electric beaters, use a metalwhisk and whisk for 3-4 minutes.
TIP: Chill both your bowl and cream before whipping to get maximum volume. - • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat with the butter (for the pears) and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook pear, stirring, until softened, 3-5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add the brown sugar, pecans, hazelnuts and pistachios and mix well. Cook until reduced and sticky, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. - • In a large heatproof bowl, place the butter (for the pancakes) and microwave in 10 second bursts until melted.
• Add the milk, Greek-style yoghurt and eggs to the melted butter. Lightly whisk to combine.
• Add dry pancake mix and the cinnamon and whisk until just combined.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When pan is hot, add 1/3 cup of the pancake batter in batches, and cook until golden, 3-5 minutes each side.
TIP: Save time and cook your pancakes on two non-stick frying pans if possible!
TIP: Don't worry if the batter is thick, it makes for fluffy pancakes! - • Divide pancakes between plates. Top with caramelised pear and nuts.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce and dollop with whipped cream to serve. Enjoy!
