Ingredients

SERVES 4

• 225g/8oz plain flour

Method:

1. Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Stir in the caster sugar.

2. Make a well in the centre and add the egg and butter. Gradually whisk in the milk to form a smooth batter. Stir the apple in with the chocolate chips.

3. Heat a heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat and grease it lightly. For each pancake, place 2 tablespoons of the batter on to the pan and spread to make a 7.5cm/3in round.

4. Cook for a few minutes until you see bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake. Turn over and cook for a further 1 minute. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

5. Repeat with the remaining batter to make about 12 pancakes. To serve, stack 2 or 3 pancakes on individual serving plates.
