• 150 g self-raising flour
• 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 55 g caster sugar
• 60 ml buttermilk
• 1 l egg
• 30 g butter, plus extra for cooking
• 2 tbsp maple syrup, plus 2 tbsp extra, to serve
• 2 None apples, cored, thinly sliced
• 250 g tub mascarpone
• 1 None vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped

1. Sift flour and soda together into a large bowl. Stir in sugar. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture. Gradually whisk in combined buttermilk and egg, until smooth. Cover and set aside until required.
2. Melt butter in a large frying pan on medium. Add maple syrup; bring to simmer. Add apple slices in single layer. Cook 1 minute each side. Remove and set aside. Wipe pan clean.
3. Melt 1 teaspoon extra butter in pan. Place 2-3 apple slices in pan. Pour about 60ml batter over, to just cover apples. Cook 1-2 minutes, until bubbles appear on surface and underside is golden. Turn pancake. Cook further 1-2 minutes, until cooked through. Repeat with remaining apple and batter, adding extra butter to pan as required.
