Ingredients
Pancake:
- 3 tablespoons reduced fat butter , divided
- ½ cup plain/all purpose flour
- ½ cup reduced fat milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
Cherry Compote:
- 2 cups pitted and stemmed cherries
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cointreau adjust to your tastes, or substitute with fresh squeezed lemon or orange juice
- 1.5 oz dark/semi sweet chocolate roughly chopped
Additional:
- icing/confectioners sugar
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Dollop cream or Greek yogurt to serve
Instructions
For The Pancake:
- Heat oven to 200°C | 400°F. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a cast iron skillet (or oven proof non stick frying pan). Once butter has melted, transfer to the oven and allow to brown.
- Meanwhile, combine flour, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt in a magic bullet blender (or normal blender). Blend for a minute; stop and scrape down the sides to ensure no extra flour is sticking to the sides; and blend again until the mixture is lump free. Add the eggs and blend again until smooth. Set aside.
- Once butter has browned in the pan; remove pan with oven gloves; add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan and stir it through the browned butter to combine. Quickly pour the pancake batter into the hot skillet/pan. Return the pan to oven and bake until the pancake is puffed and golden (15-20 minutes). While the pancake is in the oven, prepare Cherry and Chocolate Compote.
Cup of Yum
For The Compote:
- Combine the Cherries, water, sugar and Cointreau (or juice) in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil; reduce heat down to low and gently simmer until a syrup forms and the cherries soften (about 10 minutes). You may need to lift the saucepan over the heat a couple of times to prevent the liquid in the pan from over flowing. Add the pieces of chocolate and allow them to melt through the cherries.
To Serve:
- Dust with confectioners/icing sugar (optional); dollop some cream or yogurt of your choice over the pancake; spoon the compote over the cream; sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.
