Frittelle Mela (Italian Pancake)

Italians make pretty scrumptious pancakes too, this easy frittelle recipe is amazing

Ingredients

150ml milk

2 large eggs

2 tbsp Olive oil (plus extra for frying)

1 tbsp Vanilla essence

1/2 tsp salt

4 tbsp caster sugar

300g plain flour

2 large apples (peeled and grated)

2 tsp Baking powder

Method

In a mixing bowl add the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and olive oil then whisk together until combined. Then add the flour, baking powder and whisk until smooth and thick. Finally add the grated apple and mix together.

In a frying pan on a moderate high heat, add a little olive oil then add a few large spoon of the mixture in separate areas of the pan to form pancakes. cook on one side for around 2 minutes until golden brown underneath and then flip to repeat the process. The Frittelle will have risen and be puffy and light in texture (like a sponge).

Serve with Honey or maple syrup and a knob of butter plus a light dusting of icing sugar.
