Preparation

Apple & pineapple salsa:

In a small bowl, mix all ingredients. Leave at room temperature while making pancakes.

Pancakes:

In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and ground cinnamon. Make a hole in the middle and pour in milk. Stir with whisk to obtain a smooth batter. Add eggs, vanilla extract and tarragon. When mixture is homogenous, add the Gouda cheese.

Heat skillet over medium heat, melt in butter and pour a small ladleful of batter. Cook 4 minutes or until bubbles appear in pancake and first side is golden. Turn pancake over, continue cooking for about 3 minutes. Batter should be fully cooked in the centre. Repeat same steps until all the mixture is used. For faster service, use more than one skillet at a time.

Serve pancakes warm and topped with Apple & Pineapple Salsa.
