Viewed: 39 - Published at: 8 years agoIngredients
- 75 g chocolate
- 100 g self-raising flour
- 15 g cocoa
- 12 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 200 ml milk
- butter, to fry
- 4 tablespoons sour cream, reduced fat is fine, to serve
- 450 g canned sour cherries, in syrup
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 3 tablespoons vodka
Method
- Roughly chop the chocolate, and sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder and stir in the sugar.
- Make a well in the centre of the mixture and beat in the egg, then gradually stir in the milk, to make a thick batter.
- Once the batter ingredients are well-combined, stir in the chocolate.
- Melt a little butter in a large non-stick pan and add spoonfuls of the batter, spacing them well apart.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they start to brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate, and keep warm while you complete making the rest of the pancakes.
- Clean the pan with paper towelling.
- The Cherry Sauce: Drain the cherries and pour the syrup into the pan, mix cornflour with a little cold water to make a thin paste, and once it is smooth, pour this into the pan with the syrup.
- Stir the sauce continuously over a low heat until it thickens.
- Stir in the vodka, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cherries.
- Serve the pancakes with spoonfuls of the cherry sauce and sour cream.
- Alternatives: If you cannot find sour cherries, use Morello or black cherries which are sold in cans or jars.
- Use any liqueur in place of the vodka, or white wine, or a fruit juice.
- And use yoghurt rather than sour cream.
- Or custard.
- I have in one of my cookbooks a microwave custard recipe, which I have yet to try, but it sounds good!
