Make the the highlight of Shrove Tuesday – BUT – it really is too good to leave to just one day. Dress it up elegantly with edible flowers to serve when guests come round. Go on … show off a little.
TIP: Adding a spoonful or two of our Bramley Apple Sauce to the caramelising of the apples helps intensify the flavour.
Method

- Make your favourite pancake batter and set it aside to rest. Meanwhile:
- For the crumble: Mix two parts flour (120g) to one part butter (60g), rub to a breadcrumbs texture, add the demerara sugar, combine, set on lined baking tray and bake until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
- Caramelised apples: Peel, core, cut apples into large segments. Add one part water (80ml) to two parts white sugar (160g) in a pan. Reduce, add butter (50g), stir, add apples, reduce until bubbling golden brown.
- Chantilly Cream: Combine cream, icing sugar and vanilla pod, whisk until smooth, cover, refrigerate.
- Cranberry Coulis: Heat Stokes Cranberry Sauce in a small pan to loosen it up (adding a splash of water helps).
- Ready to plate: Stack 3 x pancakes – pancake, spread of Cranberry Sauce, pancake etc. (x3); caramelised apples on and around the stack; scoop of cream on top, sprinkling of crumble and drizzle of Cranberry Coulis.
