Worth Knowing Before You Cook

Dice the apple small and pat it dry.

Mix the batter only until combined.

Cover with foil if the top darkens too early.

If You're Missing Something

• Out of buttermilk? The usual stand-in is a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar stirred into 250 ml of ordinary milk and left five minutes; it is thinner than cultured buttermilk, so a batter may need a little less of it.

Leftovers

Keeps in an airtight container for 3 days, or frozen for 2 months.
