Method
Step 1 of 5
Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. In another bowl, using a fork, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter and orange zest together. Add to flour mixture and stir until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2 of 5
Cut apple and pear crossways into 8 slices each (don’t use the rounded end pieces; slices should be flat and the peel should run on the edge only).
Step 3 of 5
Heat a medium non-stick frying pan over low heat. Add a quarter of the extra butter and 2 teaspoons of oil and swirl around the pan. Add 4 slices of apple to pan. Cook for 30 seconds or until golden. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter over each apple slice and smooth with the back of a spoon to make an 8-10cm circle (the mixture should be in a thin layer over the slice).
Step 4 of 5
Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the outside edges and the underside is golden. Turn and cook for another minute or until cooked and golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5 of 5
Repeat in batches with remaining fruit and batter. Dust with a little icing sugar and cinnamon. Serve warm or at room temperature with yoghurt.
