Wine Tip
Riesling Beerenauslese, 2013
If you plan to enjoy the pancakes as a dessert, a Beerenauslese would be an excellent pairing. Wine should be sweeter than the dessert it goes with and, since maple syrup is very sweet, a Beerenauslese fits the bill. Riesling also goes perfectly with apple.
Step 1
Whisk together flour, some of the sugar, a pinch of salt, and baking powder.

Step 2
Juice lime. Heat lime juice and the remaining sugar in a frying pan over medium-low heat, stirring often. Once sugar has melted, add walnuts and continue to cook until nuts are caramelized, approx. 3 – 4 min. Remove from heat.
