- To make the spiced rhubarb, place the chopped rhubarb, stem ginger, a pinch of mixed spice, caster sugar and water in a bowl to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Add the rhubarb mix into a saucepan and gently simmer until just tender for about 5 minutes. Strain off the juice and keep for the rhubarb drizzle.
- To make the pancakes, place the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla and carefully mix into the flour until a smooth pancake mix forms, then add the melted butter.
- Heat up a non-stick frying pan, melt a knob of butter in the pan and pour a small ladle full of pancake batter in the centre and cook for 2 minutes until you see a few bubbles on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Continue to repeat the process until you have made all the pancakes.
- Fill the pancakes like tacos, first add the spiced rhubarb then top with freshly grated apple and a dollop of whipped cream.
- Finally drizzle with rhubarb sauce and scatter some chopped mint.
Chef’s Tip:
Try adding some white chocolate chips to the pancake mix.
