Cooking Steps
• Thinly slice pear. Roughly chop pecans and hazelnuts.
• In a large bowl, whisk thickened cream with electric beaters or a metal whisk until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
TIP: If you don’t have electric beaters, use a hand whisk! TIP: For maximum volume, chill both your bowl and cream before whipping.
• In a large non-stick frying pan, heat the butter (for the pear) and a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook pear, stirring, until softened, 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add the brown sugar, hazelnuts and pecans and mix well. Cook until reduced and sticky, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• In a large heatproof bowl, place butter (for the pancakes). Microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. • Add the milk, Greek-style yoghurt and the eggs to the butter. Lightly whisk to combine. • Add dry pancake mix and sweet golden spice blend and whisk until just combined.
TIP: Don't worry if the batter is thick, it makes for fluffy pancakes!
• Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook pancakes in batches, until golden and set, 3-5 minutes each side (use 1/3 cup batter per pancake).
TIP: Use some butter for frying if preferred. TIP: Save time and cook your pancakes on two non-stick frying pans if possible!
• Divide pancakes between plates. • Top with caramelised pear and nuts. Drizzle with some maple-flavoured syrup and dollop with whipped cream to serve. Enjoy!
