400ml semi-skimmed milk
1 tbsp sunflower oil or melted butter
3 tbs caster sugar
2 eggs
120g porridge oats
pinch salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
3 large bramley cooking apples, peeled, cored and diced into quite small pieces
1-2 tbs Sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice

Preparation

1. Put the milk, eggs, oil and sugar into a bowl and mix together.
2. Add the porridge, flour, baking powder, ground ginger, salt and 1 diced apple and mix until you have a thick, smooth batter.
3. Make the syrup – melt the butter, spice and demerara sugar together in a small saucepan and then add the two remaining diced apples. Saute gently for a couple of minutes until the apples are soft but still have their shape.
4. Heat a frying pan. Add a knob of butter and then spoon in a few mounds of pancake mixture (about 1 tablespoon of mixture makes a nice little round pancake about the size of a drop scone). Heat gently until you see a few air bubbles forming on the surface and then flip over to cook the other side for a minute or two, until cooked through.
5. Serve the pancakes (about 3 per person) with the spiced apple syrup poured over the top and perhaps some more demerara sugar sprinkled over the top if you are feeling like that extra boost to power you through the day!
