  The apple and cranberry flavours dont come through in the batter at all once cooked. The cinnamon butter is tasty but would be better on bagels.

  Lovely fluffy pancakes. Love the cranberries. Agree the apple doesn't come through, but is probably down to the type of apple used

  My son and I made these for a special guest,at breakfast. It was a great treat because both my son and friend do not like eggs. the cinnamon butter is just lovely, in fact the Master and I agreed we'd be using it for other things too. I agree the apple taste does not stand out, but the knowledge that this rich treat has something healthy in it is comfort enough. Perhaps next time I'll use granny smith.

  Coming from apple country in Western Canada, I learned that if i want a strong apple flavour to come through after baking then I must used tart sour apples. They also keep their form better and don't turn to mush when cooked. Add blueberries and these are great. More cmplicated than my regular pancake recipe but I was curious to try something new. Good job!

  A good alternative to traditional pancakes for pancake day. I swapped the buttermilk for soya milk (needed them to be dairy free) and they were fine although, as commented above, not very appley.

  Yum yum! I was so excited to make this recipe, it looked really tasty! After reading various comments on the apples in the mix not standing out in taste. I decided & it was a very good decision to use blueberries 50g of blueberries in place. All i can say is roll on next pancake day : )

  If you only make pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, you are missing out. Cook them whenever you want. These little lovelies are nice with bacon and maple syrup for any weekend brunch or a fast supper. I agree with the blueberry alternative to apples if eating as a dessert or breakfast. A large Bramley cooking apple in place of the two small eating apples gives a more defined apple taste. Runny honey is great if you don't have maple syrup which can be outrageously expensive.

  Why wait for the next pancake day? Cook them whenever you want! I would use a Bramley cooking apple in place of the eating apples and definitely agree with using blueberries instead. Use spelt flour for a different taste, this is what gives Breton crepes such a lovely flavour. Add a teaspoon of baking powder if you use a plain flour, as well as the bicarb. Runny honey is great in place of the maple syrup which can be outrageously expensive.
