Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients together.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and yogurt until smooth. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 3: Incorporate Plums
Wash and stone the plums, then cut them into small pieces. Gently fold the plum pieces into the batter, being careful not to overmix.
Step 4: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Spoon a portion of the batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 2-3 minutes.
Step 6: Serve Warm
Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep them warm. Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same manner. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or syrup.
Notes
Note 1: Choosing Plums
Select ripe plums for the best flavor. You can use various types of plums based on preference.
Note 2: Adjusting Consistency
If the batter is too thick, you can add a little more milk to achieve the desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a touch more flour.
Note 3: Cooking Temperature
Ensure the pan is properly heated before adding the batter to avoid sticking. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Note 4: Storage
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving.
Note 5: Variations
Feel free to experiment with adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor, or substitute other fruits if desired.
