Apple raspberry caramel: Heat your pan over medium heat. Melt the sugar without fat until it turns a golden brown caramel. Add the butter and stir well. Add the brunoise of apple, let it cook briefly, and then add the frozen raspberries and a pinch of salt. Let simmer for a few more minutes until it becomes a fruity caramel. Set aside.
Whipped honey butter: Beat the soft butter with the honey, pumpkin spice, and a pinch of salt until it becomes a light, creamy mixture.
Fluffy pancakes: Separate the eggs. Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add the egg yolks along with the milk and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix until you have a smooth batter. Beat the egg whites stiff with the sugar until shiny and peaks form. Fold this into the batter in two additions gently.
Frying: Heat some coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop thick portions into the pan with an ice cream scoop. Add a small teaspoon of water; this will steam the pancakes nicely fluffy. Cover with a lid. After 2 minutes, flip and add another teaspoon of water. Let cook for another minute. Let cool on a rack.
Finishing touches: Stack the pancakes with a dollop of honey butter in between. Finish with warm apple raspberry caramel and thin apple slices on top, and optionally some powdered sugar.
Tips
- All components can be made in advance. Just warm the pancakes briefly in the oven at 150°C before serving.
- Use an ice cream scoop for perfect portions and even cooking.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff (at least 5 minutes) for fluffy pancakes.
- The honey butter is also delicious on toast or waffles.
- Store leftover caramel in a jar: perfect on yogurt or oatmeal.
