How to make pumpkin-cinnamon pancakes with apple compote?

    1. Start with the apple compote. Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into cubes. Put them in a saucepan with the water, the sugar and the cinnamon stick. Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes until soft. Mash lightly with a fork and set aside.
    2. Make the batter. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the pumpkin cubes, the buttermilk and the melted butter. Use an immersion blender or food processor to blend until smooth.
    3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, salt and sugar together well.
    4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until you have a uniform, thick batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the baking powder can do its work.
    5. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
    6. Stack the pancakes on your plate, spoon a generous dollop of warm apple compote over them and sprinkle with an extra pinch of cinnamon. Drizzle with honey and serve immediately.

This recipe is perfect for a relaxed Saturday morning. Start the apple compote, make the batter in the meantime and within three quarters of an hour a stack of steaming pancakes will be on the table. Invite someone for breakfast and make it a real moment. Because good mornings start with good food, simply at the table.

A beautiful breakfast plate does more than you think. It gives structure to your table and even makes an ordinary weekday morning a little more festive. Choose a neutral, timeless plate that suits all seasons and all your favourite breakfast recipes, from sweet to savory.
