Ingredients

For the Pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter

For the Plum Compote

2 cups plums, pitted and diced
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine all ingredients for the pancakes and the compote in separate bowls.

Instructions

Make the Plum Compote

In a medium saucepan, combine the diced plums, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums are soft and the mixture is slightly thickened. Set aside.

Prepare the Pancake Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy

Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with warm plum compote. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Make sure to serve these pancakes warm for the best taste experience.

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftover pancakes or plum compote, don’t worry! Both can be stored for later enjoyment. Place the pancakes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster or microwave until warmed through.

The plum compote can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to one week. It also freezes well, allowing you to enjoy its deliciousness for months to come. Just thaw it in the fridge overnight before serving with your pancakes.

Variations to Try

Feel free to experiment with different fruits for the compote! Peaches, apricots, or even berries can create delightful alternatives. Each fruit brings its own unique flavor profile, offering a variety of options to suit your taste preferences.

For an added twist, consider incorporating spices like ginger or nutmeg into your compote. You can also try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the pancake batter for extra flavor. These small changes can make a big difference, enhancing your dish even further.
