Ingredients
• 150g (1 cup) self raising flour
• 1 tablespoon caster sugar
• 60g All-Bran Fibre Toppers
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 250ml (1 cup) buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Canola oil spray, to grease pan
• Light natural yoghurt, to serve
Poached winter fruit
• 250ml (1 cup) fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon caster sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 200g mixed dried fruit (such as apricots, prunes, peaches)
Method
1. To make the poached fruit, place the orange juice, sugar and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook stirring until sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, add dried fruit, reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until fruit is tender, and syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Stir through the sugar and half the All-Bran Fibre Toppers. Add the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla, whisk until well combined and smooth.
3. Heat a large non stick frying pan over a medium heat and spray pan with canola oil. For each pancake, ladle 60ml (1/4 cup) of batter into the pan and cook for 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn pancake over, cook for a further minute, or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while cooking the rest of the pancakes.
4. To serve, place 2 pancakes on each plate. Top with some natural yoghurt, poached fruit, syrup and sprinkle with remaining All-Bran Fibre Toppers.
