Blend all the ingredients and allow to stand while you heat a heavy frypan. Add a little oil or butter and pour a small amount of batter into the centre of the pan. Cook over a medium flame for 2 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook the other side for 1 minute. Keep warm in the oven.

1½ tbsp olive oil
3 red apples cut in wedges with skin on & seeded
3 tbsp walnut pieces
3 cardamom pods seeded & ground

Heat a heavy frypan, add the olive oil and palm sugar, cook until dissolved.

Turn into a bowl to cool a little before serving with warm pancakes.
