Method
To begin start by making the caramelised apples – add the butter to a medium sized pan and allow the butter to foam a little, add the apples, cinnamon, sugar and a little squeeze of lemon juice. Cook until the apples and golden and sticky (about 5 minutes).
For the pancakes - separate the eggs. Place the yolks in a large bowl and add the buckwheat flour, honey, baking powder and a pinch of salt and mix thoroughly. Slowly add the milk to make a smooth batter. You can do all this the night before!
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to firm peaks and fold gently into the yolk mixture (this will aerate the mixture).
Heat a large fry pan with a little oil and a small knob of butter. Drop spoonful’s of mixture into the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Serve with the warm sticky apples and a generous dollop of yoghurt.
