Golden Pear & Cinnamon Pancakes: A Warming Autumn Treat

We’ve been harvesting pears from our trees and experimenting with all sorts of recipes. Out of everything we’ve tried, one new dish has quickly become a family favourite in the Morgan household: pear and cinnamon pancakes.

They’re simple, quick, and a warming treat for those autumn mornings. 

Here’s what you’ll need to make 1 serving (2 medium pancakes).

Just scale up depending on how many mouths you’re feeding – we’re a family of five, so we multiply everything by five!

  • 1 pear (peeled and grated)

  • 1 egg

  • 2 heaped tablespoons plain flour

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 tablespoon milk

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Method:

Pop everything into a blender, pour into a buttered or oiled frying pan, and cook until golden on one side before flipping.

Serve with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon and, if you’re feeling a little indulgent, a dusting of sugar too.

Enjoy!
