Method

Begin by mixing together the egg, sugar, milk and olive oil.

Then mix in the flour, baking powder, vanilla essence and salt. Your mixture should will be quite thick at this stage.

Add the grated apples to the batter along with 3 tablespoons of ricotta. Fold through to combine.

In a frying pan heat some oil - on a medium heat as you don’t want them to colour up to fast. Spoon a few dollops of your mixture into the pan to create flat, pancakes about 10cm in diameter.

Once golden which will take about 3-4 minutes, flip the pancakes to colour on the other side. Remove and place on kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.

Serve with maple syrup or honey and ricotta if desired. They are delicious!
