Put the grated apple in a bowl with 2 tbsp Calvados and leave for 10 minutes.
Sift the plain flour, buckwheat flour and cinnamon into a mixing bowl.
Whisk the eggs and crème fraîche together, then gradually beat into the flour until smooth. Stir in the grated apple and its Calvados.
Heat a little butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Spoon in small rounds of batter and cook for about 45 seconds on each side, until golden and lightly crisp.
Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook the rest.
Mix the double cream with the remaining Calvados. Serve the pancakes warm with caster sugar and the Calvados cream.
Keep cooking
