Cooking Steps
ā¢ Thinly slice pear. Roughly chop pecans and hazelnuts.
ā¢ 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 donāt have electric beaters, use a hand whisk! TIP: For maximum volume, chill both your bowl and cream before whipping.
ā¢ In a large non-stick frying pan, heat the butter (for the pear) and a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. ā¢ 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.
ā¢ In a large heatproof bowl, place butter (for the pancakes). Microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. ā¢ Add the milk, Greek-style yoghurt and the eggs to the butter. Lightly whisk to combine. ā¢ 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!
ā¢ 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!
ā¢ Divide pancakes between plates. ā¢ Top with caramelised pear and nuts. Drizzle with some maple-flavoured syrup and dollop with whipped cream to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour:Ā The caramelised pear and pecan topping was widely loved, and the sweet golden spice blend in the batter was a standout for many. Some found the overall dish quite sweet; reducing the syrup and cream helped balance the flavour.
- Ease of prep:Ā Most found the recipe straightforward, though several noted it takes longer than expected ā closer to an hour or more when cooking pancakes in batches.
- Suggestions:Ā Adding a little extra milk to the batter helped it spread more easily and cook through evenly. Several reviewers also recommended cooking on a low heat setting, as the sugar content in the batter means pancakes can burn quickly. One reviewer swapped milk for coconut milk with great results, and another found that halving the hazelnuts let the pear flavour shine through more.
- Leftovers:Ā Many reviewers noted the portions were very generous ā often feeding three or four people ā and extra pancakes kept well as snacks or a light meal the following day.
- Portions:Ā The serves are large, and several reviewers suggested making smaller pikelet-sized pancakes to make the batch more manageable and easier to cook through.
