Equipment

  • A chapa or plancha or a heavy-based frying pan (skillet)

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups (330g) self raising (self rising) flour
  • 1 1/4 cups (300g) Greek yogurt, plus extra to serve
  • 2/3 cup (150ml) milk (a little less than 2/3 cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons caster (superfine) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra to serve
  • 14 ounces (400g) ripe plums, halved, stones (pits) removed
  • Vegetable oil, for cooking the pancakes
  • Maple syrup, to serve

Instructions

  • Fire up the barbecue ready for direct and indirect cooking. Once the grill is hot, give the bars a good scrub using a wire brush. Rest the chapa or plancha or heavy-duty frying pan (skillet) onto the grill bars directly over the fire. You need a really hot surface to cook pancakes so be patient!
  • While the grill is heating, make the pancake batter. Tip the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla and 2 Tbsp of the sugar and whisk to a thick smooth batter. Set aside.
  • On a small plate, mix the remaining 2 Tbsp of sugar and the cinnamon. One by one, dip the plums cut-side down in the cinnamon sugar. Rest the plums cut-side up onto the grill bars away from the fire for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Once soft, turn the plums so they are sugar-side down and cook for a further 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • When the chapa or plancha is hot, drizzle a little oil on a piece of scrunched-up paper towel and wipe across the surface. Drop dessert spoonfuls of batter onto the hot chapa, well spaced – they will spread as they cook.
  • Shut the lid and cook for 2–3 minutes. The pancakes are ready to turn when you see tiny bubbles appear on their surface. Use a metal spatula to flip them over and cook the other side. As they’re cooked, remove them from the grill and repeat until you have used all the batter.
  • To serve, put a few pancakes on each plate and top with the grilled plums. Add a dollop of yogurt, a generous drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
