APRICOT PANCAKES WITH HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• For the honey butter, beat the butter with the honey and spoon onto a large piece of cling film. Squeeze into a sausage shape, then wrap tightly and chill until ready to use. Will keep in the fridge for up to a month.
• Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and a small pinch of salt into a bowl, then stir through the sugar and make a well in the centre. Beat together the egg and milk, then gradually pour into the well, stirring slowly, to avoid creating lumps. Stir in the apricots.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over a low heat and add a little oil. Drop in 4 tablespoonfuls of batter and cook for 1 min or until the surface of each pancake is covered in bubbles. Flip with a palette knife or fish slice, then cook for a further min. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm or leave to cool, then toast and spread with the honey butter to serve

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together thoroughly.
• Add lemon juice to cream and let sit for 2 minutes.

• Toss apricots and walnuts with the dry mix. Be sure to break up clumps.
• Preheat lightly-greased griddle medium to medium-high.
• Pour liquid mix into dry mix and stir together well to make a thick but fluid batter. DO NOT OVERMIX or pancakes will not be as light.
• Ladle batter onto griddle to make pancakes about 4 inches in diameter. Turn when bubbles appear all over the pancake.
• Cook until done in the middle - adjusting heat if necessary to avoid burning.
• Continue, greasing griddle as necessary, until all pancakes are cooked.
• Batter may thicken as it stands. It may be necessary to thin it with a little additional milk if it gets so thick that the pancakes don't cook properly in the center.
• Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or toaster oven. Do not use regular toaster because of the fruit.
• Leftovers can be eaten cold for breakfast or snacks.
• Leftovers can be frozen flat on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper then loaded into freezer bags to use as needed.
