Ingredients

2 Granny Smith apples
9 oz buckwheat flour (250 g)
2 medium eggs
1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
1 cup water (240 ml), lukewarm
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 ½ oz unsalted butter (45 g), melted
1 tbsp unsalted butter ice cold
6 tbsp dulce de leche
3 tbsp calvados
vegetable oil
pepper
salt

Instructions

Pour the buckwheat flour in a large mixing bowl and add the 2 whole eggs.
Now add the lukewarm water and the whole milk. Season with a pinch of pepper and salt together with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar.
Quickly whisk the ingredients well into a runny batter. Then add the melted butter.
Stir well again. If you want to make sure there are no lumps in the batter, you can blend it for a couple of seconds using a stick mixer. Then cover the bowl with a clean and dry kitchen towel and let the pancake batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Pour a little drop of the oil in a medium non-stick pan and place it over high heat. Once the oil and pan are hot, pour in a spoonful of the buckwheat batter.
Don’t add too much. The pancake must be very thin and pliable. If it is too thick it will break when you fold it shut later on. Move the pan around a little to spread the batter evenly over the bottom. Then bake the pancake for 3 to 4 minutes until it is cooked on one side.
Flip the pancake over and cook it for another 3 minutes on its uncooked side. Bake more pancakes from the remaining batter and transfer them to a plate. Core and dice the green apples. In the same warm pan you baked the pancakes in, add the cold butter, the diced apple and the remaining caster sugar.
Place the pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, cook the apples for 3 minutes. Then pour in the calvados.
Turn the heat low and bake the apple for another minute. Keep them crunchy. Then take the pan off the heat. Spread the freshly baked pancakes with the dulce de leche. Place them onto plates and top with the cooked apples. Serve hot.
