Ingredients:

1. 250g butternut squash, peeled and finely grated
2. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3. 1 tsp baking powder
4. 1/2 tsp salt
5. 1/4 tsp nutmeg
6. 1/4 cup milk
7. 2 tbsp calvados (apple brandy)
8. 2 tbsp honey
9. 2 eggs
10. 2 tbsp butter, melted
11. Extra butter for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated butternut squash, flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Mix well.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, calvados, honey, eggs and melted butter until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
4. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and melt a small amount of butter in the bottom of the pan.
5. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the pancake mixture into the frying pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
6. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
7. Serve the pancakes warm with butter and extra honey, if desired.

Verdict:

These honey, butternut and calvados pancakes are a perfect combination of sweet and savory. The butternut squash adds a subtle sweetness, while the calvados and nutmeg give it a warming spiced flavor. The honey and butter on top make these pancakes a truly indulgent treat.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these pancakes with extra butter and honey, or for a more savory take, serve them with a side of crispy bacon or sausage. They would also be delicious topped with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraiche.
