Giant Pancake with Plums

Good morning world! I hope you all had a good sleep and started the day as yummly as I did... Because guess what? I had pancakes today! Well... actually not "pancakeS", I had one... giant...pancake filled with oh-so-sweet, warm and soft plums. Couldn't be a better start to a day, agreed? Agreed.




Ingredients


(makes one large pancake or several small ones)

• 2 heaped tablespoons of all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons of oats
• 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon bourbon
• 1 small egg
• 1dl buttermilk or normal milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• butter for the pan

Filling

• 6-8 plums cut into halves
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• zest of 1/2 lemon
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Cut your plums in halves als place them into a small saucepan. Add all the other ingredients for the filling and simmer over low heat until the pancakes are done.

In a medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, bourbon and oats. Mix well. In another smaller bowl, whisk the egg and milk until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir with a spoon. Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the pancake mixture and wait until the surface begins to bubble like crazy. This is when you want to turn the pancake over. Voilà! Beautifully browned, right? Now all you do is wait 2 more minutes for the other side to brown too (the second side will not brown the same way the first side did! But that's normal, don't panic).

Place the pancake onto a flat plate, fill the plums into half of the pancake, then fold the other half over the plums! Sprinkle some powdered sugar onto the top and dig in!!!
