Cinnamon Spice Pancakes with Cinnamon Poached Plums


Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day or Mardi Gras falls on Tuesday 17th March this year.   Whatever you call it, it's a great excuse to make pancakes.  I'm definitely a fan of the fat pancake (very much a Scottish tradition) rather than the thin crepe style pancakes.

These Cinnamon Spice Pancakes have a lovely sweet cinnamon flavour and make a perfect base for the poached plums, soaking up the lovely juices, a little topping of cream or thick yogurt counteracts the acidity of the fruit.


Cinnamon Spice Pancakes
makes 8-10 pancakes

1 cup plain flour
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed (light brown may be substituted)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
pinch salt, optional and to taste
1/2 cup semi-skimmed milk
1/4 cup 0% Greek Yogurt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons Golden Syrup
1 tablespoon vegetable oil


1. In a large mixing bowl or jug add all the ingredients and whisk until just combined.  The batter will be thick.
2. Pre-heat the  (flat) griddle or frying pan over a medium heat and wipe with oil or butter.
3. Using a 1/4 cup measure or a large serving spoon, pour the batter onto the warm griddle or frying pan.
4. Cook for about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, until the bubbles form on the surface and start to pop.  Flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Once the pancakes are cooked place them on a cooling tray lined with a clean tea towel, covering the pancakes with the tea towel to keep them warm. 
6. Repeat until you have used all the batter, keeping the pan lightly oiled and clean between pancakes. 

Cinnamon Poached Plums
serves 4

4 plums, stoned and quartered
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 cinnamon stick 
50 ml water

1. Heat the oven to 180C.
2. Put the plums, sugar, cinnamon stick and water into an ovenproof dish with a lid
3. Poach the plums in the oven for 20-25 minutes until soft.
4. Remove from the oven and leave to cool to room temperature.

Place a pancake on a plate or in a bowl, spoon over the poached plums and juice, top with whipped cream or thick yogurt.
