Instructions
For the pancakes:
- Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add 1 egg yolk and the olive oil, then gradually add the milk, stirring with a whisk. Whisk the 2 egg whites until stiff and gently fold them in. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
- Leave to rest for 30 to 45 minutes at room temperature (in a cool place if it is too hot).
- Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan. Spoon the pancake batter into small mounds. Cook. As soon as bubbles appear on the surface, flip the pancake over and cook the other side.
For the caramel:
- Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and cook until it turns a lovely colour; remove from the heat, then add the butter in several batches, along with the olive oil and the scraped vanilla pod. Leave to cool. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the pancakes and enjoy!

We recommend...
For this recipe, choose a PDO huile d'olive de Nyons (subtle taste) for its notes of dried fruit and buttery flavour, possibly accompanied by hints of fresh hazelnuts and/or freshly cut grass.
