Ingredients
For the cherry the compote
- 200 grams cherries fresh or frozen, stones removed
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon caster sugar
For the pancake batter
- 200 g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon caster sugar
- 425 ml almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 15 g non-dairy butter
- Oil for cooking
For the garnish
- 2 tablespoon almond slivers or flaked almonds
Instructions
To make the compote
- Add the cherries to a saucepan along with the lemon juice and sugar.
- Gently raise the temperature to a medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- During this time the cherries will break down and release their juices.
- One you have a syrupy sauce, remove from the heat and leave to one side until ready to serve with the hot pancakes.
To make the pancakes (while the compote is cooking)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and sugar.
- In a separate jug, mix the almond milk, vanilla extract and melted butter.
- Slowly pour these wet ingredients into the flour, first to create a paste and then adding slowly to make a smooth, thin batter.
- Once all of the ingredients are combined mix well to ensure the batter is completely smooth and to create little air bubbles.
- Brush your pan with a little oil and then heat on a medium heat.
- Hold your hand a few centimetres away from the pan to see if it is hot. Once you can feel the heat, pour over some of the batter and swirl it around the pan until you have a thin circle.
- Cook until the underside is golden underneath then flip it to cook it on the other side.
- Serve immediately with the cherry compote and a sprinkling of almonds.
