Soya milk pancakes with roasted apples, pears, walnuts and vanilla syrup

Ingredients

For the pancakes
2 free-range eggs
110ml/4fl oz soya milk
110g/4oz plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sunflower oil
For the apples
2 apples, peeled and cut into chunks
2 pears, peeled and cut into chunks
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp water
75g/3oz walnuts
For the vanilla syrup
1 vanilla pod, split, seeds scraped out
110g/4oz caster sugar
110ml/4fl oz water

Method

1. For the pancakes, place the eggs and soya milk into a bowl and whisk to combine.
2. Add the flour and baking powder and whisk thoroughly to form a smooth batter.
3. Heat a frying pan until hot then add the sunflower oil and a large spoonful of batter. Fry over a medium heat until golden brown underneath and little bubbles have started to appear on the surface. Turn the pancake over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown. Set aside and repeat with the remaining batter.
4. For the apples, heat a frying pan until hot and add the apple and pear chunks. Fry for 2-3 minutes, then add the honey and water and bring to a boil.
Stir the apples and pears to ensure even coating in the liquid, then add the walnuts.
5. For the syrup, place the vanilla pod, sugar and water into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer until thickened.
6. To serve, place the pancakes in a stack in the centre of a plate. Spoon the apple and pear mixture around and drizzle over the syrup.
