These pear and dried fruit pancakes are the coziest way to start the day. Grated fresh pear keeps every bite moist and naturally sweet, while chewy raisins and dried apricots add little bursts of flavor — all folded into a simple yogurt batter and fried golden.

Ingredients
- 1 ripe pear
- 1 egg
- 50 g (3.5 tbsp) plain yogurt
- 80 g (2/3 cup) flour
- Handful of raisins
- Handful of dried apricots, chopped
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the pear on a coarse grater.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg with the yogurt.
- Add the grated pear and stir.
- Fold in the flour, raisins, and apricots; mix well. Heat a little oil in a large skillet.
- Spoon the batter into the pan and fry 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
Tips
- Grate the pear just before mixing so it does not brown.
- Keep the heat at medium — the fruit sugars brown quickly, so watch the first batch closely.
- Chop the dried apricots small so they distribute evenly through the batter.
