Apple Pancakes with Cider Syrup Recipe

Apple Pancakes with Cider Syrup

April Harmon of Greenville, Tennessee shares these tender pancakes filled with minced apple and raisin, and drizzled with apple cider syrup. “They’re wonderful in the summer or on a cool fall morning,” April notes.

Ingredients

    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup whole wheat flour
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
    2/3 cup finely chopped peeled apple
    1/4 cup raisins
    2/3 cup buttermilk
    1 egg, separated
    2 teaspoons butter, melted
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    SYRUP:
    1/4 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
    2/3 cup apple cider or juice
    1 cinnamon stick (1-1/2 inches)
    Dash ground nutmeg
    Additional butter, optional

Directions

    In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; stir in apple and raisins. Combine the buttermilk, egg yolk, butter and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients. In a small bowl, beat egg white until soft peaks form; fold into batter.
    Pour batter by heaping 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle coated with cooking spray; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until the second side is lightly browned.
    Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cider until smooth; add cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Discard cinnamon stick. Stir nutmeg into syrup. Serve pancakes with warm syrup and additional butter if desired. Yield: 6 pancakes (2/3 cup syrup).

Neptunus 650F Review

Neptunus 650F 400

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
