Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 large egg, organic and free range
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- Scant 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup plain yoghurt
- 1 1/2 tbsp safflower oil
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp orange blossom water
- 1 tbsp honey
- 50g white chocolate, chopped
- Fresh raspberries, to serve
- Icing sugar, for dusting
- Extra yoghurt and jam, to serve
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg and the yoghurt. If you are using a thicker, Greek-style yoghurt, you might need to add a tablespoon or two of milk to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Whisk in the safflower oil, lemon zest, honey, and orange blossom water until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, buckwheat flour, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chopped white chocolate.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a little oil or butter.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each hotcake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked hotcakes warm in a low oven if necessary.
- Serve the hotcakes stacked, dusted with icing sugar, and topped with fresh raspberries. Add a generous dollop of yoghurt and jam on the side.
Notes
For a thicker batter, use Greek-style yoghurt and adjust with milk if needed. Serve with fresh raspberries and a dollop of yoghurt and jam for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or warm oven.
