Pear And Yoghurt Fritters

With Pancake Day coming up next week, I thought I'd share with you this really easy recipe for pear and yoghurt fritters.

They are part pikelet, part fritter and so easy! Using only four ingredients, they are really quick to whip up for an after school snack or a weekend, or even weekday, breakfast.

I used quite a green pear in mine, but if you used one that was really ripe and juicy, you might need to add a little bit more flour to hold it all together. If you have them, a handful of chopped walnuts would be delicious in the mixture too.

I used the five:am coffee bean yoghurt in my fritters, because I love the combination of coffee and pear and this yoghurt is thick and simply divine. Greek yoghurt would be lovely too. Try to avoid a really sweet, low fat flavoured yoghurt, if you can.

Serve them warm with an extra dollop of yoghurt and some fresh fruit for a light breakfast. They are great cold too, so pop some in your lunch box for morning tea!

Pear And Yoghurt Fritters

1 pear, cored and grated

1/2 cup yoghurt 

1/2 cup + 1 Tbs plain flour

1 Tbs caster sugar

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well to combine.

Heat a frying pan and spray with oil spray if you need to.

Dollop rough tablespoons of mixture into the pan and flatten slightly. The mixture will be quite sticky.

Fry on one side until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side. Flatten a little bit to make sure the mixture cooks evenly.

Remove from the pan when cooked.

Serve with a dollop of yoghurt and some fresh fruit or just on their own.

Enjoy!
